Mr. Bobcat is just sitting there, almost yawning, while your herd is in full panic mode. That's hilarious. I can almost hear the PFfffft! from the pics. Har!
When I was living in Vista, CA, I was taken by a friend over to Oceanside to a couple who adopted a tame mountain lion. They named it Kitty and kept her outside on the back patio. I got to sit down next to it and saw that her paws anf forelegs were the same size as my hands (fist) and forearms. Amazing. I petted him and scratched her neck and got a very throaty purr. Sounded more like a Harley idling. She allowed me to play with her for several minutes before getting up and dragging about 100 lbs of chain back across the yard and jumping casually up onto the roof in back. At that point the neighbor dog went apeshit. I heard 2 weeks later that the stupid mutt got through the fence somehow and became Kitty's lunch. Animal Control took her and killed her for doing that, damnit. I almost cried, but I was too angry at the dog and the neighbors who caused her death.
That was an extremely fun afternoon, and a very dangerous experience. She'd been declawed but not defanged so she was still lethal, as the idiot barker next door found out.
RIP, Kitty. I'll remember you 'til my dying day.
To bring this back on topic, it was a wooden dog fence.
