General Hospital's Maura West shares a backyard surprise that has fans talking

General Hospital’s Ava Jerome has been navigating schemes for ages. Recently, she got involved in a blackmail plot with Ric (Rick Hearst), but when that fell apart, she clocked him on the head with a paperweight. As a result, she teamed up with Kristina (Kate Mansi) and Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn), and the three tied him up in Alexis’ basement. While one would think that Mauara West’s life is not as dramatic as her alter ego, Ava, her latest social media post dances close to the edge, and fans reacted accordingly.

Fans Marvel at the Backyard Guest

General Hospital star Maura West shared a photo of a bobcat on Instagram and wrote, “This beauty is in my backyard right now… meow!” The Bold and the Beautiful’s Don Diamont (Bill) chimed in with a happy face and a heart, while Steve Burton’s (Jason) new bride, Michelle Lundstrom, expressed her surprise with a bunch of shocked face emojis. @judyb2009 advised caution about the wild animal, writing, “Gorgeous but best to admire from a distance.” Others were simply captivated, with @creativepiya4 calling it a “Beautiful bobcat, Maura!” and @alexiastarr23 adding, “Wow! Gorgeous bobcat!”

Plenty of fans couldn’t help but draw parallels to West’s on-screen persona. @cat_guerra7 quipped, “Gorgeous and dangerous like Ava.” @fredbonny2010 chimed in similarly with, “Gorgeous like Maura(Ava)! View through a window.🪟” Another follower, @nickybaumler, shared their excitement, saying, “Two of my favorite things! Ava from [General Hospital] and cats!!!”

The mix of fascination and caution continued. @judyhill08 summed it up with a simple “Yikes,” while @joshua.dickson.37 noted, “Beautiful cat. Be careful in California, they can do damage, but have very little habitat left.” @misssmith81 admired the scene itself, posting, “Your view is everything.”

A Post That Sparked Love, Laughter, and Nostalgia

Many took the chance to compliment both the animal and West’s knack for capturing the moment. @stephylove shared, “Beautiful!! The kitty and the background!!” and @mugze224 joked, “Tell him I said spspspsss.” @leelee71166 imagined a lighthearted scenario: “Omg, hold on!!! Me - running to the fridge to see what meat I have.”

Others saw a deeper meaning in the General Hospital star’s rare sighting. @victoriawilliams747 gushed, “My dream life, having such kitties visit my porch!!” while @princesslea.69 wrote, “Wow amazing! Nothing like nature! He’s a beauty! Enjoy the view!” @smsharkey928 added, “Yikes,” and @skinworksbydianne related their own experience: “Hi Maura! Just had one in my backyard two days ago. So beautiful and majestic.”

There was even some playful nods back to West herself. @jake_linger_1975 commented, “Kind of a spirit animal for Ava,” while @annetteconlonmusic asked, “Maura, can I pet your cat?”
