We just had an amazing experience!

First a rabbit came thru our yard and hid out in some bushes. Shortly afterward I saw what I thought was the rabbit again. I went out to get a closer look and found it was a BOBCAT !

The Bobcat was paying no mind to be being with 20 feet, it was focused on that bunny in the bushes! I crept back to the house to grab my phone (camera) and then it started to rain hard. I got back to the Bobcat and got one photo of it sitting quiet, then the bunny darted out - THE CHASE WAS ON! I tried to get pictures but the pouring rain and the speed if these two prevented me from doing very well.

The rabbit got away and the Bobcat returned to brush and the wilds behind our home.

Photo 1) Bobcat stationary - looking at rabbit in the brush to my right

Photo 2) The rabbit jumped from the brush and ran to my right, the bobcat (back end - it was quick) lunging to the right.

Photo 3) Rabbit on the right turning right, Bobcat loosing the race, peels off to the left and towards the back yard fence.

PS - sorry the photos may not be rotated upright - I am still figuring this out this forum ....

I am absolutely positive it was NOT a house-cat.

Afterward, the rabbit raced by me again and exited out to the left of our yard. The bobcat followed along on the far side of the fence.

All this in the pouring rain!! LOL

What a great experience!!

(PS - don’t let your pets out alone!)
