Thank you for sharing that.
“NOTE: There is LITTLE or NO difference in the behavior of common housecats & bobcats. See the book, THE KILLER IN MY BACK GARDEN for more on commonplace behavior of both domestic & wild felines.
(Domestic cats do virtually ALL of the SAME behaviors that TIGERS, LEOPARDS, JAGUARS & other wild felines do. The main difference between you beloved housecat & its wild cousins is SIZE.)”
Yep, absolutely... :)
WELCOME.
Fyi, “my big ‘ole boy” was a half-Siamese & half- Charming Texan, who could easily sit in my hand when my late wife & I “fostered” him at 4 weeks old (His mother weighed about 8#.) to keep the 2 from being put-down.
My kid sister, for some reason known only to her, named him “TIMMY”. - When I asked her WHY, she said, “He looks like a Timmy”.
Once Timmy was weaned, his mother was QUICKLY adopted but NOBODY wanted Timmy, as he was thought to be “funny looking”.
(He looked like an “old school apple-head” Seal-point Siamese with 4 snow white feet & a while blaze down his face.)
Cat people here will understand that within a month-6 weeks that we had “gotten attached to” him.
Timmy kept getting BIGGER & BIGGER & BIGGER until he was over 20 well-muscled pounds at just a few months over a year old.
When he was 3YO, our vet weighed & measured him & found that he was 45.5” from tip of nose to tip of tail, rippled with muscles & weighed 33#.
(Dr. B said, “I’m not at all sure what he is exactly but he’s the BIGGEST !@#$! housecat that I’ve seen in 30 years of practice & he’s healthy as a horse.”)
People, who saw him when shown as a “Household Pet”, started offering us handfuls of cash for Timmy. = Vickie turned down a thousand bucks one afternoon in Ft Worth for him. - She simply said, “NO SALE.” & returned to brushing him.
(Timmy lived to be just over 17YO.)
