This thread reminds me of the time, many years ago, when my brother first moved into his condo. He called me to tell me he was looking out the window at a full grown cougar in his backyard off the patio. I immediately said "Well, you'll have to send your wife out for the paper then" ... Unfortunately, he neglected to tell me I was on speakerphone. She started yelling, the cougar got scared and ran away and it took me several years to make up for that joke !. 
Live and learn ... I now ask if i am on speakerphone.

It seems that most of you think it is a Bobcat, and that I should keep my distance, and not feed it. Well, except for @BingBong. We need to understand that he is from the UK, where there are no Bobcats, and cut him some slack. I think he may be more familiar with this type of cat.

Eating makes all the difference to me. Or at least something highly practical.
I feel the same way. One additional aspect, some people eat song birds. I feel like if you can't get a full meal out of one of the animals that's going too far for me to feel right about it. A cow or deer or even rabbit will give several people a meal. Feels like a fairer equation to me.
Weird I was just wondering if spear hunting is legal in my state. Boar is tasty in my opinion.
Bobcats love drunks. Never approach one without booze on your breath.
No idea in the US. Since I lost my leg to a bus accident I haven't been able to go.
why in ever loving funk where you hunting a bus?
It just came out of nowhere. Damn things are stealthy and bloodthirsty.
Leg traps are to food procurement what bullfighting is to food procurement.
Prolonged torture.
Humans didn't invent the requirement that all life forms must consume other life forms in order to survive/exist, but how we go about doing that IS in our control.
Shot with a firearm or zapped with a captive bolt gun is one thing.... Randomly clamping a chunk of iron to an animal's leg for hours (or days) is quite another. I have come across traps where an animal finally chewed its own leg off to escape.
Lucky the ones here make a lot of noise and move like they're drunk.
Stricnine. Lead. Take your pick.
The only good cat is a dead cat.
