During the weeks since returning to the desert we found a mother Bobcat and her twin cubs had taken up residence in our backyard. The kittens are darling and the mother is not small. She has been seen several times and the kits drink from our front fountains. We don't pet them folks...there are still wild animals so we don't approach or let them know we see them.

The mother was seen walking the wall near our house looking for goodies for the kids.   Rabbits and snakes are great protein. 

The kittens played in the water falls at our front door while we watched.  Claudia spotted them as Bobcats while I didn't immediately realize what we were looking at.  One lay down near the front door acting like a sprawling house cat preening itself while the other sauntered off soon to be followed by the other.
