Three people were injured after two bobcat kittens were mistaken for domestic kittens.
Animal Care Services said a family living off Eisenhower road near Salado Creek discovered the felines at a back alleyway. The homeowner decided to bring them inside her home.
"She tried to feed them some kitten milk and during the process of doing that, three people were bitten," said ACS spokesperson Lisa Norwood. "Bitten on the hand. Not bad bites but bites nonetheless. They're seeking medical attention right now."
Norwood said the family decided to look online and noticed the kittens were bobcats.
"Once they started taking a look at the kittens, seeing how big they were, how robust they were, how their tails were bobbed...,"

I was looking for something a little more dramatic. Or maybe funny, like what you would see in a Looney Tunes cartoon.
“how their tails were bobbed”
Half the population has IQs below 100.
Huh. I was expecting this to be a California story.
I don’t care, but that’s funny.
Kilt by a rescue cat.
Reminds me of the song entitled “The Snake.”
When I was young (in my 20’s), I found a bobcat kitten and took it home...I kept it in a large cage for about 6 months...I had to wear a welder’s glove when I fed it...
I released it back into the mountains where I’d found it...It was just as mean the day I released it as it was when I found it...
“Or maybe funny”

Do *not* e-mail the distressed animals, whatever you do.
But public schooling has given them all high self esteem.
Even feral domesticated kittens can be vicious.
"If we increase teachers' salaries, we can fix that!" -- said half the population.
“But public schooling has given them all high self esteem.”
Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
Hey, talk nice! They're electing your leaders!
They didn’t want to come snuggles with Mama.
Someone needs a trip to Sears Optical.

Heh.
Maybe they thought they were Manx
Stupid should hurt, a lot.
I was just out cutting the grass and saw a gray, fuzzy rat. Seriously, it was big for a rat but still smallish so it never entered my mind it was a possum until it got stuck trying to crawl thru some lattice. Then I figured it out. Can’t remember the last time I saw a baby possum.
I left it there in the lattice. Figured it would either get out, or my cat would find it. Yumm...
