Was on the Bike trail in the Parkway area (not saying where) and saw a Bobcat with a mouse in his mouth. We looked at each other and when I reached for my phone/cam he went into the bushes. Watch your cats! It was great to see the "wildlife" here in Folsom.

Is there a reason you are not saying where you saw this Bobcat? A Bobcat is smaller than a mountain lion, right?
Just curious.

Smaller than a mountain lion, bigger than a breadbox.
And yeah, what's with the odd secrecy re: location?

I agree, kind of odd to be secretive about this.
Bobcat, think 20 lbs of mean and nasty if it feels cornered.
I would rather be Backpacking

I'm glad he isn't saying exactly where the puddy tat was seen.
there are lots of people out there who think their pelts are nice wall warmers, or who think it is great sport to chase the little puddy's down and tease them into ribborns of torn flesh.
respect their need for free and elusive lifestyles.
it works out best for everyone.

So sad we have those kind of people in our 21st century world.
Where did civilized mentality go? Or are we talking about teenagers with too much time on their hands?

Ok, Here is the reason I did not give the location of the sighting(s).
Most of us live with "City People" that think ALL wild Animals are out to get us.
I have neighbors that keep there kids in the house becouse they heard coyotes the night before(true, I have had the phone call to keep my kids in). Some people would want it removed, Some think of it as a Mountion lion or Bear. I just want to let the cat be, thats all. I have seen it or 2 bobcats in the last 6 months. Its shy and will not hurt people. I enjoy the critters around here and want to see more.
Thats the reason.
