Looks like kitty played with a porcupine. I talked to a government trapper that said he’d never skinned out a cougar that didn’t have some quills embedded in it. Curiosity and kitties....

Any Leftist stupid enough to pet wild animals deserves whatever bills the ER issues. Any animal control costs should also be rendered. Perhaps the knowledge that the animal will be put down will dissuade some air heads.

Stayed at a B&B just up the hill from the Bite back in 2006. They had numerous stuffed bobcats in the common area. BTW, the Bite is now in town, just off the Plaza area.

Custer is a SD state park, not a national park.

A neighbor had skunks under their shed.
When the kits started coming out in the evening she would feed them and pet them!!!
I don’t mind the critters in her yard but my dogs and a trail cam know they often visit my yard.
It is a lot of work to bury chicken wire around everything!
But I do it.

If someone wants to get close to a bobcat around here, all they need to do is put a small, yippy, dog in their backyard. A hungry bobcat may soon appear. Other neighborhood wildlife includes a fox (leaves folks alone) coyotes, and of course various small animals for them all to eat.

Just returned from Yellowstone. Apparently people had pepper spray that was marketed as bear repellent. They sprayed it on their bodies to keep the bears away. It sure worked. Not many bears in the Emergency Room.

"give Smokey the bear a hug?"
The Public Service commercials here is Texas encourage you to hug Smokey after you have doused your campfire.

LOL. What a coincidence. That is my local paper.
This past Thursday was wild kingdom here. I opened the blinds in the morning and noticed what I thought was the neighbors Norwegian forest cat on the porch sofa. I tapped the window and was surprised to find a sleeping bobcat. It darted off. I have seen them here before, but that was odd.
Next, a mother turkey and brood marched by. Dinner some day.
Finally, a doe and two fawns were grazing on apples in my side yard.
Western PA can be interesting at times.

My father used to tell my brother and I that ‘it is easier to catch a bobcat than it is to let go of it.’ Of course, he said it allegorically as my brother and I were attempting some dumb stunt that he knew wouldn’t end well but the visual image always made be smile.

My cat was outside making cat fight noises, (which he never does) so I went out on the deck and called him. “Here kitty kitty”. I could see him about 20 feet from me in the shadows of the woods. “Here kitty kitty”..... just then my cat comes walking up from behind me on the deck.
I look at him, then the cat in the shadows. As the shadow cat was slinking off in the woods I realized he was about twice the size of my cat. Yeah, he was the bobcat we hear occasionally.
