Went on a hike on the trail next to the neighborhood and HELLO CAT.

Grainy af because no one in their right mind gonna get closer

oh god

I woulda died on the spot

I was on the hike with my druid neighbor, she took the photo. But ffft thank fuck I was with her because I wouldn't know what to do otherwise

The correct answer is: don't move too much and you'll be fine lol

Because the concern of bears wasn't enough, let's add bob cats into the mix

I'm so glad that picture is extremely grainy

lmao right???

BOBCAT

GIVE

come here, murder mittens

It is super cute though isn't it

Just a bit too big for a cat door...

big floof

Bob cats have such big paws i love themmmm

I love them too but at a safe distaaaance

We were fine, by the way, we had like 20 feet wiggle room

After the kitty moved on, however, my neighbor decided to alert the idk what to call them. Basically she ditched me to make sure tourists weren't allowed on the trail. So I went home and she .. wandered into the historical site office to be like LOOK AT THIS COOL PIC OF A BOB CAT oh ya and close the trail

Did I spend the whole walk back being like Is there a large carnivore behind me?? yes

i wanna pet that dawg
