Default Bobcats.

I talked to a fellow Lynnhaven dogwalker named John with Buddy yesterday (Sunday) who said that the Saluda Street snatching of the cat off the lanai was probably a bobcat. However, he had seen two coyotes wandering in the same area around 2 AM when he was out with Buddy. Buddy needs to pee a lot because of a medical condition. John was able to discourage the coyotes by waving a walking stick, or something like that.

I still carry a dog whistle and four golf balls on my walks around Lynnhaven but fortunately have not seen any wildlife at night except rabbits, a possum, and feral cats.

I have never seen a bobcat in the Villages but am sure they are out there.
