Backyard bobcats in Lake Forest Park

Apollo spotted something outside
Story and photos by Dan Barrett

Saturday late morning I noticed Apollo, our house cat, looking out at something that caught his attention.


I looked out to see what was so interesting and these guys were looking back.

You can see two here. A third went over the back fence to the neighbor's yard before I could get a picture. My neighbor's house cat evidently spotted them as well.


Luckily our cats and the neighbor's cats are kept indoors. Bobcats are much larger predators than a domesticated cat and will kill them.

    Absolutely aroune LFP. My security camera caught one in my back yard 11-26 at 10:30PM. Last August (2024) we lost a cat to a bobcat around 2:30AM.

    Wow! I didn't know we had them here in the neighborhood. How are they with dogs?
