Calgary Bobcat Spends Lazy Sunday Napping In Backyard

We can't think of anything better than a sleepy, Sunday afternoon snooze — nor can this Calgary bobcat, apparently.

The beautiful feline spent a luxurious afternoon catnapping, grooming and exploring in a southwest Calgary neighbourhood Sunday.

Dinnerless but a bath will do nicely instead. #bobcat #yyc pic.twitter.com/OPT7tBnCDT

Bobcats are known to frequent Calgary backyards occassionally, but Alberta Fish and Wildlife generally do not disturb the animals as they are not considered dangerous.
