A Calgary cat owner is warning others after her beloved pet was attacked and killed by what she believes was a bobcat.
Glenda Muron told Global News her cat Wilma went missing from her home in Arbour Lake back on May 28.
Muron said she searched for six days until a neighbour said he had seen Wilma’s remains in a nearby field. That same neighbour added he’d seen a bobcat patrolling the field for several days.
“It’s devastating quite frankly to lose her that way,” Muron said tearfully.
Muron said others have told her that Wilma was the third pet cat to have been killed by the wild cat in the area in the past few weeks.
The Nova Scotia native, who just moved to Calgary a few years ago, said she was shocked to learn bobcats are regularly seen inside the city limits.
