New Kitty On The Farm

A bobcat, spotted on Sam Manno's farm.

While I was moving hay in the hay loft goat barn I saw what I thought was a new stray house cat at the farm.

It was checking out an old log cabin about 100 feet north of the barn when I noticed it was quite large for a house cat. When it hopped up on the window sill to peer into the window, I noticed about half its tail was missing. While wondering how it lost the half of its tail I realized it was not a house cat at all, but a bobcat!

Jack, the farm dog and I gently encouraged the bobcat to move uphill and away from the goat barn.

The bobcat is welcome at the farm, just not so close to the goats.  There is enough room for everyone and hopefully enough rabbits for our new farm resident.

You can hear more updates from the farm on "Pea Green Boat" weekdays at 4:00 p.m. or "Children's Corner" Saturdays at 7:00 a.m.
