Occurred on October 23, 2023 / Bedford, New Hampshire, USA
Info from Licensor: "I had just stepped outside on a beautiful, breezy New Hampshire fall day when I saw what I thought was a stray cat far across my yard. It kept creeping closer to me (perhaps looking for its Mom?) and I could immediately tell by its gait, markings, body, and bobbed tail that it was a baby bobcat. It came within two feet of me when it suddenly turned around and spotted me. I think we were both equally surprised to see each other! I backed up slowly to give it space and then it crept off and ran into the woods. A once-in-a-lifetime experience!"
