Young bobcat surprises B.C. woman with house visit

A young bobcat that paid a visit to a family in Peachland, B.C., this week has quickly become the cat seen around the world.

When the tiny, fuzzy creature appeared on Naomi Miller's back patio on Monday morning, with just a pane of glass separating the two of them, Miller caught the moment on video. On Tuesday, she posted the footage on Instagram and TikTok.

Miller was upstairs when her daughter called from downstairs, saying there was a cat outside. Miller managed to catch a quick glimpse of black ear tufts from her upstairs window, and knew right away this was no ordinary cat.

The bobcat stayed for about three minutes, possibly intrigued by Miller's housecat, who was on high alert inside.

and it seems to be around 9 - 10 months. I have no idea how old the young bobcat in the story is, hopefully they are old enough to be on their own having learned all the skills for survival from the mom.
