Bobcat visits southwest Calgary backyard in Kelvin Grove

Beth Ordman happened to catch a bobcat hanging out in her yard in Kelvin Grove, and it's not the first time a wild cat has visited the southwest Calgary neighbourhood.

Not the first time the wild cats have loitered in Kelvin Grove, say locals

It's not the first time a wild cat has visited her neighbourhood.

One block away, two bobcat kittens and their mother used Jane Howe's door mat as a scratching post. Howe took this video in November 2014.

Alberta Fish and Wildlife was notified right away, but the cats went away on their own.
