Here, Kitty, Kitty!

By
Real Estate Agent with Retired

We moved to Arizona just about a year ago and we are really enjoying our new community, PebbleCreek.  It is different to live in the desert, but it has been fun to learn about our new environment.  We see quail and rabbits all of the time.  Those bunnies do love to eat our new plants! The quail are just plain goofy and make us laugh.  We also see the occasional roadrunner, another bird that proves God has a sense of humor.  Coyotes also make an appearance from time to time. 

A few days ago, was the best surprise of all, though.  We were driving our golf cart, on our way to play pickleball, when we spotted what we thought was a big kitty cat.  We followed it and watched it saunter through the neighborhood.  It was a bobcat and it was beautiful!

This is the kind of kitty that you do not get cozy with and there was a rabbit harmed in the making of this post! 😲

Look at those eyes!  You will not be hearing us say, "Here, kitty, kitty!"  I think it is best to keep our distance!

Hi Ray- I wish I could "unsee" the photo of the bobcat with its catch!!!  You are getting to see a new world of wildlife where you are!

Ray Henson  are you still enjoying vacation/relocation? Or are you ready to get back to work instead of checking out little kitties:)))Endre

Did you witness the bunny getting devoured by the bobcat?  That would be both sad and exciting to watch.

I just saw a post from one of my neighbors that saw a bobcat taking a nap for over an hour in his backyard, Roy Kelley.  I am happy to say that there have been no bobcat sightings in my backyard so far!

Funny that you should say that, Ed Silva, 203-206-0754.  My sister has two cats.  One named Tom and one named Bob.  🤣

Thank you for the feature, Myrl Jeffcoat and I am sorry that it has taken me so long to respond.  It has been a challenge for me to stay focused since I moved to AZ.  There is just too much pickleball and other fun things to do.

I am just glad that I don't have to catch my lunch every day, Kathy Streib.  I would go hungry!

Endre Barath, Jr., I really do need to get focused again.  I think I will be back at it in January.  I enjoy ActiveRain and my friends here too much to let this laziness and lack of focus continue.  I do see your posts on Twitter, so I am not totally without my Endre, the Realtor, fix.

Hi Brian England!  Actually, that picture was taken by Janet.  She shared it with me.  Aren't you glad that we do not have to chase down our lunch every day?  Ha!  I would go hungry!

Ray Henson  in all fairness I am just jealous, traveling, vacationing, and no worries in life... I on the other hand have been trying to keep two escrows together, one since September and the other since November:)Endre

I do have a worry or two, Endre Barath, Jr., but life is very good right now.  😃  I am very happy not to be worrying about getting through escrows right now.  I do hope you hold your escrows together and they end successfully.  It would be a nice way to end or begin the year!  

I am doing some cooking and eating well through the holidays.  Do you have something special planned for Christmas?

Bobcats are gorgeous animals but can be deadly as your photo proves, Ray. Glad you're getting settled in!

They do look so calm and easy going, but I will keep my distance and enjoy seeing them from a distance, Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can!

Great photos, Ray. What a beautiful cat!

They have been reported on occasion in our area but I have never seen one.

We thought so, Jeff Dowler, CRS, especially from a safe distance. 😃  They are hard to see.  They kind of blend in with the background.  Thank you for stopping by!

They are beautiful, Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP.  I was surprised how leisurely this one was walking through our neighborhood.  It looked like a house cat, but I sure wouldn't want to pet it.  😂  We have also seen a few coyotes walking our streets.  They are not so beautiful, but fun to see.
