Last Updated Saturday, February 8, 2020 11:57AM PSTVANCOUVER -- When Venus Yau spotted an animal wandering through her backyard in West Vancouver's Ambleside neighbourhood on Friday morning, she at first thought it was a neighbour's pet.
"I saw a huge cat strolling through my backyard and I thought, who raised such a big, fat cat?" Yau said. But when the animal approached her window, staring inside curiously before turning and walking away, Yau realized it was a wild animal. When her kids came home from school, she showed them the video.In the video Yau took, the bobcat can be seen looking in through the window and wagging its distinctive short tail. For Yau, who moved to West Vancouver from Hong Kong a year ago, the encounter was fascinating.
"I didn't open the window, I kept on looking at the cat and the cat was looking at me, and then we made eye contact with each other," Yau said. "I waved hello to the cat, and then the cat waved its tail at me."
