Confused by the unusual visitor, Katy from Braunschweig in Germany, took to Facebook to share her concerns and ask for advice.
Unusual looking animal
Posting on the Facebook group "Garden - Ideas, Tips & Decoration", Katy shared that a wild cat was in her garden and included a photo of it strolling through her flowerbed. She asked fellow members if the animal posed a threat or was simply a harmless visitor.
However, it seems that Katy had nothing to worry about.
Bengal on the loose
Group members quickly identified the animal as a Bengal cat, not a wild creature. Bengal cats are known for their striking coats and are usually kept indoors. The sight of one roaming freely is quite rare.
It seems this Bengal had escaped from its home and was exploring the neighbourhood. Bengals are intelligent and affectionate pets, so there's no cause for concern.
Katy can rest easy knowing the animal in her garden was a friendly feline simply enjoying a bit of adventure. Phew!
Would you know it was Bengal?
