One night I was on my computer and went to my back porch because I heard a screeching noise. At first I thought it was my cat. So I called it inside my house before I realised that it was a bobcat.
It jolted away as fast as it could. Then I noticed that it was a golden color, pointy ears, and very large. I told my young daughter and she said it was most likely to be a bobcat.
So I started looking up pictures and video's about bobcats. It looked exactly like an upstate new york bobcat.

Your website was very helpful. Thank You.

Hi Diana.. Thanks for sharing. I didn't realise that the bobcat sometimes attacks domestic cats and eats them! Or is that unusual? Are bobcats a problem to cat owners generally in the USA? I have not heard that. Coyotes seem to be more of a risk to outdoor cats.
I changed the title and took the words direct from you post. I hope you don't mind.
See the photographer's home page on Flickr.
