Is it possible that I saw a bobcat in my alley last night? It was late, around 11:30. The animal looked like an oversized cat. Long legs, long tail and was faintly striped. At first I thought it was a raccoon but it was too tall and fir through my neighbors wrought iron fence pretty easily. It had pointy ears and seemed timid. Jumped when we made noise. I am so curious! I live across the street from a golf course and a forest preserve so we see deer, raccoons and foxes often. Thanks!
