When we purchased our home last year, we started out using one of our three bedrooms as a home office. Our plans were to eventually convert the unused formal living space in the front of the house to a home office down the road, as we have a bigger family room in the back of the house that we use as our primary living space.

Everyone has their own style when it comes to the type of house that they want to live in; some are just weirder than others.

Things took an awkward and unpleasant turn for one curious bobcat after he decided to drop by for a visit with his fluffy domestic counterpart. In this little scene caught on film in Canada, the bobcat, who appears pretty much totally calm and composed, receives a rather ungracious sort of welcome from the house cat behind the glass.
