Lonely Bobcat Looking for Love in Natick

NATICK, MA - A bobcat has been alarming the people of Natick but the lonely animal is probably just searching for a mate, police said.

The bachelor was spotted in South Natick near the Sherborn line during the day and has not caused any problems, police said.

Police said bobcats are typically shy and the fact that it is breeding season could explain the sightings.

"Please respect that this is a wild animal and use appropriate caution in regards to small pets," police wrote on social media.
