Photograph of Boyton Beach Bobcat from Thelma Myerson

Residents in Boyton Beach, Florida had better watch their backs next time they step out to collect their mail. As you can see in the picture above that is one big cat!

Manny and Thelma Myerson told the Palmbeachpost they bought their house with a pond in the back to catch a glimpse of the wildlife.”

I didn’t want to get too close, not that I feared for myself, but I didn’t want to scare it off so that it would retreat,” says Thelma. “It was a good size, good picture, good lighting, we’ve never been able to photograph it that well,” says Manny Myerson.

Florida Fish and Wildlife was called but say the bobcat poses no real threat to humans.
