Baby Bobcats Grace Exeter, New Hampshire, Business with Surprise Visit

We are so fortunate to live in a state where nature is truly among us. We get to see wildlife way more often than folks living in big cities. Don't get me wrong, city life had it's perks but I never saw a deer and her fawns on my way to work when I lived in Boston. But now I do; several times a week!  I have to say it's pretty cool.

The folks at M2 Mechanical in Exeter, New Hampshire, got some pretty adorable visitors this week and shared the photo to the U Local New Hampshire Facebook Page,

Of course the comments came pouring in because it doesn't get sweeter than that, right? Commenters expressed how tempted they are to pet these precious furballs even though they know it's not a great idea. Also there was a lot of curiosity around where mama Bobcat is!

Female bobcats are notoriously very protective of their young and are not afraid to bite, scratch and attack any human who handles their babies. So needless to say petting these babies wouldn't be a wise decision.

What should you do if you come across a baby bobcat?

After you snap a photo for social media of course (lol jk) Operation Wildlife says you should keep your distance and quietly back away. It also may be smart to take any pets inside. However you should let your presence be known by making noise or talking to the bobcat. If the bobcat approaches resist the urge to scream like a newborn baby. The site suggests to stomp your feet, clap your hands, or yell loudly.

Have you ever spotted a bobcat on your property?
