Bob Cat Crosses Our Path

Coming home today after church a bob cat crossed our path in Hadley! I think it was the first time I have seen one down in town. We used to have a smallish one here in our neighborhood when we first moved up here but this was on the divided part of RT 116 in Hadley, not up here in Shutesbury! It was quite large, too. It crossed the road, went off to the edge by a tree, turned around, sat down and looked straight back at me! I wish we could have stopped and snappped a picture but I am sure it would have run off if we even slowed down. My guess is they are probably attracted to the UMass horse/sheep farm on the other side of the street.
