I'm theorizing that Mama Bobcat was taking her cubs on a field trip/hunting lesson.

Whoa. I think that means you should all be very careful when outside, lest you become a cautionary tale on "When Animals Attack!" *snerk*

I think our racoons have finally left, which makes me less worried that they will gang up, surround us, and steal the baby.

What? The mama racoon totally stole my stepmom's cellphone in May. If she'd been able to keep it, she would totally kidnap Leander, raise him feral, and make him order pizza for them later.

:-D
