Most of us love a day or two, once in a while, to just laze around in our backyard or even a friends backyard but it would be quite a surprise to see a mid-sized cat laying around there instead.
On Sunday morning Laurel and her parents found a Bobcat lazing around the backyard of their southwest home near Fish Creek Provincial Park.
Wildlife officials were notified about the situation but conservation officers did not remove the animal as bobcats are not considered a threat to public safety, according to Global News.
V. Galloway, Laurel’s mum, took the following photos of the lazy bobcat and Laural posted the pictures on her twitter account:
