Bobcats Take Over California Foreclosure Home

by Tom Royce on September 7, 2008


You would think after seeing the reports that the housing market in California has gone to the dogs. But now we know that instead the cats have taken over. Bobcats that is.

A Tuscany Hills home in the foothills of Lake Elsinore that has been sitting vacant for the past 6 months have a new family of bobcats squatting. I bet the neighbors are thrilled.

Residents of the development got their first look Aug. 27 when the feline squatters — at least two adults and three kittens — lolled atop a wall outside the Spanish-style house.

Someone called 911, reporting mountain lions. Four police cruisers showed up and officers ordered everyone inside. But soon they were out snapping photos along with the neighbors.

Bobcats are not known to attack humans, said Monique Middleton of Animal Friends of the Valley, which provides animal-control services.
