In my last post, I mentioned that we should maybe think about a pet with fur, rather than something like this:<\/p>\n

\"Bobcat\"<\/a>You really have to zoom in on the picture to see him, but he’s there in the dark patch in the middle of the photo.\u00a0 A friend estimated him at 45-50 pounds, slightly larger than our former resident cat.\u00a0 I had mixed emotions about the bobcat\u00a0 – part of me thought, “How cool!” while a stronger part of me thought, “Run away!”\u00a0 I managed to get J out to the back deck to see our new feline neighbor before he strolled off into the brush that the evening.<\/p>\n
