Bobcat kittens discovered in West Des Moines

The bobcat kittens were photographed near Scenic Valley Park in West Des Moines last week.

• Resident Diana Morrison Wissler, the photographer's mom, lives in the area and tells Axios that she started noticing the cats during the last year.
• They've walked on her deck a few times but haven't caused any problems, Wissler said.

Of note: The cats are a sign of a healthy ecosystem.

• They are not a threat to humans and interactions with pets is rare, metro police and conservationists told WHO-13 last month.
