She was a lovely cat, complete with ruff, ear tufts & long fur between
her toes... she hated if you touched her ruff. She was born outside to a
cat my mom eventually caught. Her cat was a calico with rather stumpy
legs, stocky body & a shorter than usual tail. As for the father, he was
even bigger than my brother’s cat. Mom said he was almost the size of
a medium dog, a little smaller. The area we lived in had bobcats in the
woods behind our house, the whole area had nice woodlands. I suppose
he can tell the rest, I only know what I’ve been told.

Afraid so.
She was born on our back porch in the early 1980’s, and we caught her by luring her in with a piece of chicken.
[Cat had a chicken addiction.]
She could cover the entire couch by stretching out, she had a good three foot or so spread when she stretched her legs out.
But she looked tiny, until you picked her up.
Then she felt like a brick.
Her meow was a softer version of the bobcat MWU-OWM, from her it sounded almost polite.
She’d snort out her nose at you.
She’d hunch her shoulders and give you a fixed stare.
If you stared back she’d get upset about it, turn sideways, and slap the ground at you.
However, if she was sitting in your lap she was VERY cuddly and affectionate.
She loved being combed and fussed over.

Only one veterinarian looked at her and ID’d what she was.
Poor guy looked like he was going to choke on his mustache.
And when Mimi decided to headbutt him and purr loudly,he decided she was harmless.
[Harmless, unlesss you were a bird or a mouse. Then you were done.]
