My grandparents recued a bobcat kitten from the side of the road when it was only a few weeks old. It's mother had been hit by a car. There where two others but the ran when they were approached. The cat loved being around people and loved a lot of attention. It was allowed to go out and explore the woods and always came back. It never bothered the neighbors dogs unless they came onto the property. Then it would simply chase them and never attacked. They had the cat for 15 years when it passed away.
Your grandparents' Bobcat was a precious addition to their family and that cat was so lucky to have them to care for him. Beautiful account.
What a delight. Some say it's the best pet they've ever had, and to have ones life so enriched for that length of time would be priceless.
Best advice ever regarding imprinted wildlife “just because he is friendly doesn’t mean he is safe”.
My cat attacks my legs if they see me carrying something carefully. If he was twice as big I would be afraid of him.
I worked with a mountain lion @ a local zoo, he was a seized animal, NYS DEC collected him and we raised him & gave him a good home..he lived a good life, better than he would have in the Bronx apartment he came from, and he was such a sweet and interactive animal. But they always are what they are. To see jump 20 feet vertical..🤔😬😁👍RESPECT!
The same advice applies to people as well.
@@guidedmeditation2396 me too
@@guidedmeditation2396 there's only one thing a bobcat can do that will shock you Bobcats and lynxes and cougars have been known to kill cats cougars and lynxes do it the most including leopard but Bobcats can do it too
That is one beautiful cat. I don't know why but I love cats. All of them.
If you want a wild looking friendly cat who is about the same size, just get a Maine Coon. Mine is about 30 pounds, and has the personality of a 12 year old Labrador. Very loyal!
Yess! I had one growing up!
About the same size lol
Even the largest maine coon is dwarfed by any old bobcat.
@@CaptainDCap thank you! Don't know what I would have ever done with myself if you didn't state that completely obvious statement
@@eternallife9786 It's so obvious that 50 people blindly agreed with the blatantly false statement.
I still prefer the soft cuddly Maine coon, though.
This is a hunter! In a split second, the microphone cover disappeared!
Did what it was born to do!
Best phrase ever said. "Just because he's friendly, doesn't mean he's safe."
That's what she said.
What a beautiful animal...the bobcat is quite beautiful too...I'll leave it at that
You are sweet gay
The gal that gave the presentation is such a gem. You'll get the impression that she truly loves these animals and is supper willing to sacrifice for their well-being. I commend her for that big time. She's such a gem 💎
Thirsty much? 😂
years ago a friend of ours rescued a Bobcat cub. its mother was found dead and the little cub was raised by our friend.. he was named Bob.. the Bobcat.. a very sweet and loving Bobcat.. I had a chance to play with Bob and he was something else.. lots of energy and when he got tired he came and laid on my lap and slept for over an hour.. it was amazing to see Bob the Bobcat do this.. he was so Beautiful!!
That's crazy my Papa did the same thing in the 90s, same name and everything. Except he found the cub trained the cub into a sentry. Not as cute and cuddly as this fella but if Papa was there he wouldn't shred you up.
My father found a baby bobcat crying on the highway side alone..
After following the cub and waiting for 2 hours, the mother didn't came back even though the cub was crying so loud..
And then my father catch him and bring him home for milk feeding..
In the morning, he give the bobcat to the sanctuary..
I still remember how different the cub is compared to ordinary baby house cat..
Rare anomaly for sure. A friend found a male cub that had lost his mother. And I should add that the cub's eyes were not even open yet. My friend raised him just like a regular cat more or less right alongside her other cats. My friend had a very large one acre fully enclosed(including the top) enclosure that she let it have free run of, although he did sleep in the house at night. But he was never really tame. He often acted aggressively towards strangers, growling and hissing, sometimes scratching them. One person was even bitten pretty severely and had to go to the hospital. So my friend could not allow him to interact with anyone but her and her husband. At 4 years of age the cat became way too aggressive, and it finally culminated one evening when that 45 lb cat pounce on her in her living room and proceeded to maul her pretty badly. She spent 4-5 weeks in the hospital getting reconstructive surgery on her hands, arms, legs, and her face and neck. It very nearly killed her. She did recover fully thankfully.
Poor cat ended up in a zoo in a much smaller enclosure. That broke my friend's heart. My friend vowed never again to take in any animal that was meant to be running in the wild. She still cries whenever she sees a bobcat, whether in the wild or whereever.
So sad for both of them!!! 💔
There are more than him! When I was a kid we lived on the edge of a swamp. One time a mother bobcat brought her kits up onto our back porch to help themselves to our cat's feed. The kits played with us kids just like our kittens, while the mother cat stayed near but would not come to be petted. They stayed with us for months before finally leaving for their wild life. We never had any problem whatsoever, even from the mother. Still, that was leaving them wild, not caging them up.
That is very special. All the Bobcats I've seen were very reclusive. Must've known you were nice people because of your cats IMO.
If you wanted to create a breed of truly domesticated bobcats, ones like the one you encountered would be ideal candidates to form the first generation. By selecting them for tameness (curiosity toward, and lack of fear of humans) and interbreeding them, after a few generations, you would wind up with a bobcat that naturally tolerates or even seeks out human company, like a plus-sized house cat. This process is exactly how a naturalist named Dmity Belyayev created a breed of domesticated silver foxes, who behave just like domesticated dogs, from wild silver foxes that are normally very fearful of people.
@@Marmocet I'm familiar with that project. They had a large number of breeding pairs and only let 20% that were least fearful/aggressive towards humans reproduce. Foxes reach sexual maturity in about 8 months, so the project comprised 40 generations. (I believe it ran from ~1959 to ~1999.) Amazing what was accomplished in such a short time!
Guy: Put that butt away chompers
Chompers: My house, my rules.
You've got to admit, that wind sock looks like a cat toy.
Yes, like a little animal- raccoon or similar to so many other little creatures.
saw you on another bobcat vid lol
the bobcat kitten one
@@Kookie-fx1rr 😆😆😆 Just noticed the same thing, a year later. (Caught my attention because I'd been tempted to argue with him on the 'Mt Lion v. Bobcat' one... 😼) Thank you, Rabbithole Trailblazers!!! ☮
Defines "cat quick" with that wind sock.
He had that wind sock in a split second. lol.
He is so darned handsome.
Chompers stealing the mic covering was the highlight of the entire episode. Cats are always going to be cats regardless of size… everything is a toy! 😂😂😂 I love Chomper’s personality!
Yea, Chompers saw that fuzzy thing and thought, "now that's a kitty-toy if I've ever seen one. Thanks for bringing it for me."
And how quickly he snatched it.
Gorgeous beautiful breathtaking. The bobcat is cool too
I totally agree!!!
Ya nailed it...no wonder that is the friendliest bobcat in the world
Lol !
Please allow me to offer my services as an affectionate pet
You literally took the words out of my mouth... had you not said it, I was just about to 😂😂🥰😍
The windsock incident is a good reminder of how wild this cat is, despite its usually calm demeanor.
That could have been gloves on your hand he wanted to steal, and wouldn't have been so cute then.
Always remember that these larger cats are walking food processors.
Hard to believe...........hes MORE friendly than many house cats.
He sure LOVES his handler.
actually, his daddy. @@alphadog1961
My cat is friendlier, but not that affectionate :v
Good way to introduce people to the difference between an anecdotal case study and group statistical behavior.
Beautiful bobcat, beautiful caretaker.
Both equally dangerous.
Seriously, I’m so glad that chompers is being taken care of by such a loving person.
I see them on my property every now and then here in Kentucky. They’re pretty reclusive. I see their prints mostly. But when you hear their mating call, it will send shivers down your spine.
Impressive critters!
That's what the "good ol' boys" down South were telling me was a "wampus cat." LOL
She's got a nice little bicep going on.
My aunt had a pet bobcat . I remember going to her house (flipping mansion) and the bobcat would be hanging from the thousand dollar drapes , claws in place , just hanging out.
It was nice and liked being petted but when it was amped up we were told to stay away from him. My uncle exerted dominance though and Bobby submitted instantly but I saw what one lash does on a thigh by a bobcat and know these cats will rip you open fast and can kill a full grown human.
Have they killed an adult human though.
@@glennoc8585 I don’t know if they have ever killed a human but I saw one and it was clear to me it was far from a domestic cat. His teeth were huge! Like they could tear your skin and muscle easily, and the nails were frightening as well. Very heavy too, I think it could hurt you if he was wild enough.
@@glennoc8585
No
I don’t think a bobcat could kill a full grown human. Hurt you pretty bad but you would survive…
They can kill a full grown human. The question of has it been documented I do not know. When you see just how long the claws are as well as sharp, they can sever a jugular, or rip large veins and bleed out its prey.
Bobcats also latch on the back and bite into the back of the neck /spine area to paralyze prey while flaying the back with its lower claws if resistance is felt by it.
But, my aunts bobcat was a pet and they still Monitored its behavior when children were around meaning even they couldn’t fully trust it. Very neat pets though just a little crazy at times and those times you don’t want to test this whole theory of ‘can it kill you’?
Thank you so much for granting them the dignity and kindness of a private space.
Chompers is a good boy. I hope he is still doing well (2 years later).
Haha I said the back of his ears look like ears 😂🙄 obviously I meant “EYES”! Thanks for coming out Dav, always great to see you!
Had a blast as always and can’t wait for next time! And everybody knew what you meant :)
@@DavKaufmansAdventures give him a bigger home!!!!!!
You are such a pleasant person, it was music to my ears listening to your clear speech about bobcats.
The 'white' on his ears and underbelly...is there any element of seasonal camoflauge in play with Bobcats' coats? Not that we get snow in Florida, but I wonder if Bobcats have some white on their fur to aid them during winter? In west coast-central FL we get frost, at best, 1 morning every 5 years, so its probably a silly observation :)
I have a 5 year old black cat in my feral colony. He loves to be petted up to a point. And then he will turn around and give you a bite. So, I guess that's behavior you find in every size of cat.
Oh, you need to read his body language better. Watch the videos with Galaxy Jackson and you'll learn a lot.
I took in a feral cat 10 years ago and she's still with me. It took years to get her to fully trust me to the point she wants belly rubs. She lives in the house but she is still completely wild with anyone other than me. The difference between socialized cats and feral cats is that feral cats cant suppress their instincts as easily as a socialized cat. The feral cat from relaxed to fear in a split second and can scratch or bite without meaning to hurt you when instinct kicks in. The people who tell you to read body language better don't understand the difference between a stray cat and a feral cat.
My fully male black Tomcat has never done that, he lays down and goes belly up and sticks his claws out and rolls back and fourth when he's done being petted and i know better than to touch him after that.
I tried rubbing his head once while he was doing that and he let me get away with it but i know better than to touch his belly.
I was at a small zoo in Wheeling WV when they received two bobcat babies from DNR that's mother had been hit by a car. One cub immediately wanted to cuddle and play but the other was very shy and scared. I went back a year later and the one that was playful is able to be used as an ambassador and for children's education. Like you said each animal has it's own personality and you truly don't know how they will be. Chomper is a sweetheart!
When I was a kid I found a baby bobcat. His mother and a siblings was smashed on the road by a car. I bottle fed him for 6 weeks and I had him for 7 years until one of my neighbor poisoned him. He was just like this guy, he just loved everybody.
That is so awful. I'm glad you got to have that 7 years at least. RIP lil' guy.
If one of my neighbor did this to me I would make his life a living hell.
Omg how evil! That IS a criminal act…
I guess you don't know WHICH one, unless you're typing from prison
I hope you had the neighbor who poisoned your bobcat turned into the law! The JERK deserves jail time. Sorry about your loss.
Had a German Shepherd/ Wolf Hybrid as a child that loved kids and cats but didn’t do well with strange adults or dogs. One day he ran away for a couple of days and came back with a kitten. Turned out to be a bobcat and the two became inseparable. Built a outdoor fenced shelter that the two lived in in the summer time and in the house in the winter the den and back hallway got a second set of doors so that in cold or bad weather they could come inside but then couldn’t come further into the house when strangers were there.
"he is just naturally sweet.........and drooly" 😂🤣
I just like how chomper jumps to mommy and wants to be carried like a baby.
I loved this video, Sabrina is brilliant. I love how honest she was and how she is very clear about how much she loves Chompers but that he is NOT a pet. She so clearly respects and accepts that he is the animal he is and she only ever expects him to behave like an animal! I also liked that she didn't apologise when he grabbed the windsock...a predator "caught" something little and furry...erm, yep, that's what they do!!!
Couldn’t agree more. She really is
Aww! Chompers is adorable, he is being like a giant housecat
He does allow himself to be petted so I suppose he is a pet.
He'd make a good pet for someone who knows how to have pets.
I raised a bobcat for 16yrs. Thank you for telling people that they are not always as cuddly as Chompers. He is precious though and my baby was nearly identical. He hayed domestic animals and even at his nicest he could leave scars
He needs lots of hugs and kisses ! Sweet baby !!
4:40 "Excuse me, good Sir, is that a rat on your camera?"
I've seen many videos of Bobcats. Some rescued in a sanctuary like this, some raised in family homes, and some just wild and most acted just like this. There was one that was was a 100% wild adult that did head-bumps with a guy in the back yard.
That's something a lot of people need to hear, " just because he's friendly doesn't mean he's safe". Really beautiful and amazing animals but there is a reason they remain mostly wild animals. Even I would love to own a big cat but even if I had the money and room these animals require care, space, and expertise to live any kind of decent captive life.
Look up the story of Christian the lion.
Wouldnt it be funny if that guy had a rug and chompers pulled that off instead of the windsock
No - those people don't need to hear that. Anyone that needs to be told that is too dense to understand it when being told
What a beauty. I really like Chompers as well.
House cats can be mercurial. I'v been attacked by a few. Bobcats are precious wild critters. Protect them.
He's an exceptionally large Bobcat also. It looks like they fed him top food since birth, and/or he's just genetically big.
When I was a youth, I ran the hills here at home often. Every ridge line has rock promontories, many with caves, and many with cushy moss carpeting on top. Under the canopy are pockets of nature's own air conditioning, which feels pretty good when summer temps can run over a hundred. One such rock ledge lies pretty close to home as a bird flies, but isn't very accessible from below because the hills are very steep. Wildlife adapts to human encroachment, to a point. We always knew there were big cats around, but they are very good at laying low.
I was enjoying exactly that resting spot I described one day, birds singing all around, squirrels playing and barking, when I caught a flicker of movement out of the corner of my eye. Note that I had been sitting on the moss for a while, long enough to get relaxed, and probably soon to be napping. Suddenly a fully grown bobcat hopped out of the greenery concealing the path not three feet from me, barely giving me a glance, and gracefully walked past me to the highest edge of the rock shelf, a cliff about forty or fifty feet high, and sat, looking over the valley below. I was thrilled to see such a sight.
I won't try to get every single detail in this post, because it would take pages. Picture Chompers, though fur is like fingerprints. Mr Bobcat had his back to me, and after a few minutes, Mrs Bobcat joined us. Double wow! These are large cats people. In the past, we had spotted two types of bigger cats in these hills; the type in this video, and a type a little bigger than a real big house cat; also, we heard mountain lions, but they don't show themselves. I sat entranced by the beauty before me! I was armed with a rifle guys. Those days, probably would have been no consequences if I wanted to kill those cats, but they weren't going to bother me, I could sense, and I wasn't about to harm them.
After perhaps twenty minutes, Mr Bobcat turned his head and looked me straight in the eyes, as if to say, "Yeah, we know you're there," which I knew already, and after another few moments, the bonded couple abruptly got up and trotted off into the forest. I wish that I had a camera that day, but that was well before cell phones, and the type of terrain I speak of was quite rough for carrying much of anything.
Recalling that experience is wonderful. Those cats somehow knew that I was not a threat to them. Many hunters prowl these hills now, as they did then. I think that they showed themselves because they knew I would not harm them, and they were curious about me too. Profoundly amazing!
So glad you emphasized the fact that this is extreeeemely rare and not recommended to pursue owning. Chomper's is a lucky boy to have you♥️ I can't imagine he'd survive in the wild since this behavior would likely get him killed. The wind sock probably looked like an animal or toy 😅 What a beautiful cat♥️
Wind sock? That is clearly a squirrel... and you're not gonna convince me or Chompers different!
Her saying he likes big dogs but eats small dogs warmed my heart. 😊
LOL...That grey fur was too tempting for him to resist.
I really like how she is tuned in to his 'wildness' and the fact that he is still a Bobcat. Chompers is a beautiful animal, I'm jealous.
There is no wild gene. That's not a wild cat.
@@st0n3p0ny yea there are genes that determine behavior. if behavior is wild, then it's a wild gene
@@devinmcgroot7560 there are no single identifiable genes that determines behaviour itself, by far the most accurate predictor of behaviour is environment. genetics may influence one's relation to the social environment and therefore influence behaviour. Especially something as abstract as "wildness" can't be quantified, and when the concept is broken down it becomes increasingly clear that most "wild" traits are a response to environment. The perception of genetics as determinants of behaviour is largely based on a self-reinforcing cycle of good treatment of those perceived as good, and bad treatment of those perceived as bad, regardless of other factors. Sometimes simply being a cuter individual might be enough to radically change how a cat is perceived by their owners and other humans. often in the case of selective breeding, cuteness is seen as non-threatening and therefore not wild.
@@a4t976 Behavior is too complex to be influenced by one gene. It's hard to identify any specific genes that mediate innate psychological processes. But it's a fact that both nature and nurture shape behavior of all living things. You can say that high levels of testosterone are associated with high levels of aggressive behavior. You can also make an argument that aggressive behavior is a trait that is part of what being wild means. Depending on what wild is defined as
@@devinmcgroot7560 Hi. I like the way u say aggressive behavior is determined by testosterone level. Seems to ring true in humans also. There should be a study (not sure if any exist right now) on aggressive, all the way to vicious, women to measure testosterone in their system to determine whether or not there is an abnormally high level. Seems a higher percentage of hard crime is committed by men and not so much women. 🕊
Chompers is a hilarious name for a bobcat! Had me burst out in laughter! :)
You know that saying, "He's a cool cat"? This is where it came from. Chompers.
Couldn’t agree more
What a cute cat im going to get one as a pet
He’s awesome and so are his nice caretakers.
In the same video where they are all cute and cuddly you should include a few takes with bobcats being all spicy and growl so it reminds people of the side of the animal you don’t want curled up on your bed. That ‘friendly reminder’ might make people think twice about getting one.
He’s a very handsome boy love his coat and his ears. Boy he’s quick grabbing that mic sock - Bless you Chompers 💖🐱💖
The way he puts his head in to cuddle is amazing 😻 x
Lady: JUST BECAUSD THEY ARE FRIENLY, does not mean they are safe.
Chompers: ** CUDDLES AND STARTS GIVING YOU ❤️ **
Thank you for sharing these beautiful babies with everyone. And, thank you for discouraging people from getting their own pet bobcat. I know someone (friend of my father) who had one at his home. He needed to re-home her when he couldn’t care for her. I tried to get him to send her to a sanctuary but he sent her off to a relative. She has lived her life in too small a cage and not getting the enrichment she needed. Please, folks, adopt a sweet kitten from a shelter and learn the care requirements before you get one.
I always wanted a Bob cat. But after watching the video. Think I will stick to my house cats. Great video. Thanks. 👍👍👍
She got lucky getting that cat, and whoever gets/got Sabrina is lucky as well!❤️
I love how she understand and educates people about animal temperament. I wish other pet owners/caretakers had the same level of understanding. Nothing infuriates me more than someone who blames an animal when in reality it's the owner's/caretaker's fault.
They are all different and it's the owner who has to adapt and respect the animal's personality and behaviors. I love my Main Coon but I never forget she is an animal with predatory instincts.
What would it take for an animal to 'infuriate' you?
@@exothermal.sprocket Oh my cat does that to me all the time but in the end he's super cute so I can't get mad.
@@7477238 That really didn't answer my question. Mere opinions from people infuriate you, what would it take from an animal to infuriate you?
@@exothermal.sprocket Nothing. An animal is acting based on instinct or bad training/treatment. People are the problem.
"Small dogs, oh he would eat 'em!"
^..^~~
chopper- fuzzy MINE!!!
Dav- Nooooo My wind sock.
Chopper- No Mine Fuzzy thing.
That's exactly how it happened! lol
I nearly choked on my tea when he ran off with that windsock. Hilarious
So it acts like a big ol cat that's had nothing but love. Awesome. It's good to see an animal that's been loved so hard.
Beautiful animal and i love a strong capable woman
That bob cat chompers was absolutely adorable but yeah I would never ever buy one or ever recommend anyone else to buy one either. They are very beautiful animals that belong in the wild. I loved this video. Thank you for sharing it Dav.
A serval would be a better option anyway. Same size, more energy, but much easier to tame. There are also many generations bred in captivity so they are slightly domesticated
Good for you just don't try to impose your view on me.
So good. Just showed my mom this video. Much joy. Petting my little house-cat currently--he is naturally friendly and not an anomaly. Anyway sending you folks hugs
Holly shit that was quick and swift when he grabbed that windsock from the mic,,, out of nowhere unexpectedly 😳😳
Chomper is so adorable and sweet 🥺😍❤️
I’ve got a female bobcat at my farm that visits regularly, she rubs on my legs and head - butts. She also brings her babies by to show them, two times two babies each time, the babies are more cautious. I’ve never seen them when they have grown up.
You're very lucky. Headbutting is not only a sign of affection but of trust. She's comfortable enough around you to take her eyes off you to do it.
That's so cool!
Post a pic, or video?
Such a handsome boy!
He was like o man that looks like a fun toy❤🌹😘😂
Well done on telling people certain animals are better viewed than owned!
Love the name Chompers. What a precious creature :)
She's an absolutely delightful person to interview. Obviously in love with Bobcats 😆
You’re right. She’s very affable
His ears look like ears. 😂
Nice to leave the blooper in. xD
Beautiful cat, beautiful girl! Perfect combo. You're a lucky guy Dave.
I certainly love what I do!
He's a beautiful animal, I'm blown away at how affectionate he is! I appreciate Sabrina drilling it in that these are wild animals first and foremost and that not every bobcat is going to be like Chompers. You can definitely tell these guy is dearly loved and cared for though!
Given how cats are in general and especially wild Bobcats. It is amazing that Chompers is so friendly like he is. Also he's damn big for a Bobcat.
Why is nobody talking about that sudden burst of energy for the windsock? That scared that absolute shit out of me. Imagine if that thing clawed that dudes throat. Why are we just glazing over that? Absolutely terrifying
I heard her say, "and drooly". I have known cats who drool when they are super happy, his name was dumbass, who was an indoor cat, but would escape to roam the neighborhood and say hi to everyone he came across in drooly fashion.
Awwww he is such a big Love Bug 😍💖💖💖
Carmén, mhmmmmm juegos peligrosos
I met a bobcat like that in the blue ridge mountains. It was friendlier than a house cat. I also happened across a beaver in South Dakota that was friendly and had a sea turtle that used to swim with me in Cuba. The more time I spent with wild animals the more I saw human traits in them. Even fish and reptiles have personalities.
Beavers are terrifying
How handsome is the Bob, How beautiful is his human lady, but above all, how right she is! Good Job (PR) lady.
So funny when Chompers grabbed the windsock!
Next time I complain about how hard it is to take care of MY cats, I'm going to remember everything she has to go through! 😆
My serval is just a big baby @45lbs, she's very friendly and likes being around people, but she can be a handful when she's overstimulated or hasn't had enough exercise. She DID try to eat a friend's Yorkie puppy, however, so I've had to be extra careful and keep small puppies or kittens away from her.
Edit: Yes, it costs ~$500 /mo to feed an adult serval, keep that in mind too.
That male Southern bobcat is a gentleman & a buddy.
He is an absolutely precious boi. Look at them headbutts. He’s got nothin but love to give
He behaves better than a domestic cat he’s a real sweety
Right?
@@DavKaufmansAdventures He's still a dangerfloof, he just happens to be one who is usually rather friendly
Cuteness overload
I have a domestic cat that's a real ball buster.
Chompers is one cool cat! They lucked out big time with him, what a sweetheart. Great info too! Definitely not a good pet lol.
Yes they did! Love this cat!
What a nice boy, Chompers is! He's adorable! Nice kitty!! Purr purr!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I miss my bobcat! 😢 my baby girl "lynx" passed many years ago. She was such a sweetheart to me but slapped anyone else who would walk by her. She was an inside/outside pet. She was able to roam our property but she loved being on the porch or in the house
I raised and rescued ocelots, margay and oncilla. I describe having these cats as being on a seesaw. One side of the seesaw is friendly and the other side is all wild. One never knows from one moment to the next what side your seat on the seesaw will fall on and you never turn your back on them ever.
What a cute bobcat & cougar!
Beautiful boy ❤ chompers rules
This video is better than I expected. I have worked with a very friendly bobcat at a sanctuary. She was just so sweet. But even in being affectionate, she would rub my barret out of my hair. Her face rubs could actually be painful. I remember thinking, if she is this powerful in affection, I would hate to get her angry.
No matter what you see on screen these, and and other big cats, are not overgrown housecats, housecats are miniature versions of the "big boys". They may sound similar, but they are completely different mindsets.
Imagine if that windsock was a small dog or cat 😳 there’s no way you’d get that animal back alive with that interactment 😏
Very useful and important advice. especially about overstimulating and that how each animal has a different personality and how to respect boundaries.
Yep. Even my orange tabby short hair gets kinda sketchy when he's overstimulated...and he's affectionate as hell. But his claws are still no joke
Lightning strike! Looked like something to Chomp. Beautiful cat.
What a little brat, he just snatched that windsock 😂 so cute
I love Chompers! If I was guaranteed a cat like this I would want to have one. Just respect the critters in this world and show them love.
It's really interesting that there is the episode of Beast Buddies that shows the couple who has the 2 pet bobcats living freely in their home, and the couple says the Bobcats are the perfect pets, and are much better than dogs or house cats, because the bobcats never scratch anything ever, and they are super friendly, and they both use the toilet to go to the bathroom, as they instinctively like to go to the bathroom in water, so there is no litter box, and they apparently don't pee on anything or damage anything. I wonder how this couple got so lucky with their 2 bobcats?
Chompers is Beautiful!!!
What a very, very sweet boy! You are so stinking lucky! Please give him a few pats from Potty Mouth Mike, San Antonio, Texas.
