My husband and I live in Lauren Villas in The Village of Charlotte. This morning between 6-6:30 he let one of our dogs and cat out into the yard from the lanai. He returned indoors to make a cup of coffee and his dog started barking profusely...He ran out to to find the cat cowering under a chair and the dog barking at something in the yard. It was a bobcat and it jumped on top of the wall and continued running till he could no longer see it. We, who have villas , bought them because we have pets and it gives them the freedom of going in and out at will. We learned a valuable lessen this morning...Just beware, especially in the early hours of the morning, whether you do what we do or are out walking your pet early in the morning. This could have ended badly for both of our animals.
