This drawing is of a
bobcat. There was a bobcat that was caught in the foothills near Placerville.
It was killing pets, so a specialist was called in to catch it. It was
destroyed which is too bad because the bobcat was just being a cat and eating
what was available during this drought. It is the people that need to learn how
to live with the local wildlife.
Seeing this bobcat
reminded me of when I saw a bobcat. Fay, my sister, another friend and I were
riding our mountain bikes in the Santa Monica mountains on evening. The moon
was full and bright and we could see perfectly well without our riding lights
that were mounted to our helmets, so we had turned them off. We were almost
back to our cars on Reseda Blvd, but still on a ridge overlooking the homes
below. Suddenly a bobcat appeared not too far from us. It didn't turn and run
when it saw us, but it just stood there in the moonlight checking US out! We
stayed still, enjoying this magic moment, in the sight of this beautiful
animal. After a couple of minutes, it turned and left. It felt that we were
holding our breaths all of that time. How cool was that?!
