Caracal spotted in a garden in Fish Hoek, Cape Town

in Cape Town on Sunday, 31 July when a caracal was spotted heading down the mountain and straight into a resident’s property, George Bottome says that his wife spotted the wild cat through a window while it went further down into the lower part of their garden before scaling the 1.8-metre fence into the neighbours garden.

Bottome spotted the caracal back in his garden a few hours later. The cat leapt up into a tree and stayed there for about 6 hours presumingly waiting to leave and head back up the mountain on the same route it took when entering the garden. Battome said that he wasn’t quite sure what time the cat made its escape from the tree, but when he went into the garden at 10 pm, it was gone.

“Our cats were a little put-out but we locked them up just in case. We left it well alone taking one set of pictures with a telescopic lens so as not to get too close or disturb it,” Battome concluded.
