We live in the far southeast valley, but "in town" so to speak and this is what my next door neighbor caught. She came out to feed her chickens and this bob cat was in her coup. All but a couple of her chickens were dead. it got scared and climbed out, but it came back the next night for all but one of the remaining chickens. This is when they got the cat trap out. Their coup is right next to our property. We have close to a mile buffer of houses between us and the mountain. I was just a bit surprised and actually was hesitant to believe it until I saw the picture. I guess I know where the neighborhood stray cats went because I haven't seen them in awhile.
I know nothing about bob cats. About how old is this cat? It's in a standard sized cat trap.
