PHOENIX -- A Valley man has some surprising visitors in his attic -- a family of bobcats.

Fred Greenshaw does not go to his attic often, but he went up there to grab an ice cream maker for his daughter's birthday. Instead, he found himself looking straight into the eyes of a bobcat.

"I heard that real low growl so I stopped what I was doing and I climbed back down," Greenshaw said.

He says he also heard something coming from behind some boxes.

"I could hear a baby crying," he said.

He says he called the Arizona Game and Fish to try to help him get the bobcat out they said he had to call a critter remover.

Greenshaw says he did that but tells 3TV the cost is several hundred dollars so he is just hoping the bobcat leaves on her own.

When it climbs down out of his attic and attacks him and/or his pets idiot-boy is going to wish he'd spent the money on that instead of rabies shots.

I'd get a good quality coon-hound-barking tape and play it. Mama will figure out what to do right quick. ;D

The Arizona Game & Fish should be the ones taking care of this. If the homeowner shot the bobcat, they’d be all over him for any number of violations.

A shotgun sounds like a better solution. How much are 12 gage shells these days.
