So did it just kind of drift away to terrorise another neighbourhood?

>I once had a bobcat in my backyard. It was hollering so loud it kept me and my neighbors up all hours. One of my neighbors tried to scare it off with a shotgun. We were concerned that its behavior was very strange and at the time my daughter was about 6 years old and they had a son 2 years younger. We ended up calling animal control who came, saw the bobcat, and informed me that if we could catch it then they would take it away. I was amazed. I wondered what I was calling them for then? I went into work the next day, told the story, and was told by the majority of my co-workers that we don't have bobcats in North Carolina! I informed then all that someone better tell the bobcat that then!

>>>>We get lots of them around here in Toronto. Once I put cat food out on a tin plate for them at the back of my back yard hoping it would keep them from coming out front. That evening I looked out and there was a raccoon reclining beside the plate, propped up on one 'elbow', and reaching in with the other paw for food. I wish I'd had a camera. It was like watching someone lying on a couch eating from a box of chocolates.

>>>A few weeks ago, while putting out the bin bag, I encountered a fox in our enclosed, narrow street. At first I thought it was a large ginger cat, just the oither side of a car. It was within yards of me. I ran back inside to get some ham for it (this took a few minutes). When I got back I followed it up the street and left a trail for it. It sniffed at the ham but didn't eat it - but DID follow me back to my house. I then ran back in to fetch my camera (another min or 2). It was still there! I stalked it around the parked cars, for about 10 minutes, flash photographing it (with red-eye multi-flash), within yards. It didn't turn a hair!

>>>Sub-urban foxes round here feel kinda safe

>>I've heard there are foxes around, but I've never seen one here. We get lots of raccoons and a few skunks, but that's about it. The squirrels, of course, are just part of the scenery. What's fun is watching a cat trying to catch a squirrel. When the squirrel runs halfway up the backyard fence and then runs along the length of it sideways, the cats always just stop, scratch their heads and walk away defeated. Same thing when the squirrel runs up the brick on the house. You can almost hear the cats saying, 'Jeeeeezzzz'.
