I didn’t know about it when I walked my dogs early this morning, but one of my dogs refused to walk up a street in that area. I don’t know why he refused, but initially I thought he might have something wrong with his paw or leg.
I know that predators are around, but what was concerning was that this bobcat was out and about in full daylight. He did not appear sick, but this would not be normal behavior. If you have a Ring and “Neighbors”, you can check out the video for yourself.

We are in DeSoto and we hear them sometimes at night and seen them on ring cameras in the area. No big deal. We are from a rural area of the country and encountered them there as well. They are typically quite timid of humans and look for prey of opportunity. It's a good idea not to let your small pet out by their self, especially if your lot backs to a wooded area. There are coyotes and large birds of prey that are out there too. They have all been here long before the villages.
