That’s crazy. How strong do you think a bobcat is?

How strong? I have no way of knowing but judging from the Ocelot, I’d say they were pretty strong.
I was amazed at the strength in the legs of the ocelot. They look soft with all the pretty fur, but they are pure iron under the skin.

I’m surprised they’re that strong for just 30lbs. Humans are really weak as far as animals go. I guess that’s how we got the brains.

That Cat seemed to careless about the Humans, looked to me he wanted the high vantage point of the Auto to scout pray.

Awesome. Cheetahs are my favorite.
She was one smart cat- took the high position to scout for prey. She wasn’t at all interested in the people or cars.

We have at least one freeper with a bobcat as a pet. Can’t remember who it is, though. She posts pics all the time.

I thought cheetahs were supposed to be timid...I guess not.
I think you’re right. I was surprised how thin they are.

She’s braver than I am. Bobcats can get pretty large I believe.

Think about this: A running cheetah’s average stride length on each jump is about 25 feet.
Bob Beamon’s Olympic world record, almost super-human, long jump in the thin air of Mexico City was about 29 feet.
But a cheetah matches that every jump, every day of its life in order to eat.

Can they do gene splicing yet? I want some cheetah genes...

yeah, but what would you do with them?
Sure, it would be cool when the wife says, “Honey, I need some milk, would you run down to the store.”
But you’d probably be bouncing off the walls indoors with all that engine under the hood.

I could win the 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 110m hurdles, 440m hurdles, long jump, high jump, and decathlon, in the same Olympics. Then I could buy this:

I have always wondered if some civilization didn't breed them for pets before vanishing. The cats then went wild but something in them keeps bringing them back to hang around humans.I think your idea has merit.

Saw a cheetah purring on some show once, drooling and all.

She was just wanting the warmth of the engine...and was wondering if some good eats would be coming outta the *oven. :)

Thank you for the ping. What a beautiful animal she is.
Her behavior must have been learned, and she knows that no one will move if she sits on a Jeep. That’s very interesting.
To: TheOldLady
You’re welcome, and interesting point.
