@cowboy sam& everyone ...Over the past month, we have had sightings of a couple of bobcats in our neighborhood, so we haven't seen the usual activity of squirrels, chipmunks, and bunnies, etc...I like to think that they all sensed the danger and headed for safer pastures.
They aren't all that big and are really beautiful...I googled to get more information about them and the article stated that it is rare for them to attack humans...However, if one does happen to come by while we are outside, it said to start making loud noises to prevent them from becoming too comfortable around humans...I told my husband I would think that would startle them to the point of feeling threatened so we have just been keeping a watchful eye out and prefer staying quiet...lol
We haven't seen anymore sightings within the past week so, hopefully, they have moved on...We are also starting to see the usual natural habitat of chipmunks, squirrels, bunnies, birds and doves return so that is a very hopeful sign.
