Baby Bobcat Episode 5

[alicellahuang]

his brothers were like "hey! not fair! sincen when you can have a toy for yourself!"

[TheAnimallover81]

Lol I love how the baby bobcat just plays with chic.

[YesukaB]

did u guys kill the chick or did it die by itself? just curious.

[BigCatRescue]

@YesukaB We purchase them in frozen bulk quantities.

[kcatromero]

did u remove the bones

[BigCatRescue]

@kcatromero No, these cats are designed to consume the whole thing.

[brobador]

15 dislikes? What's wrong with these morons?

[xiEatPiexD]

lol the house cats wants to play with it too XD

[posro1988]

3:14 must see!

[SilentKhayos]

I'm curious, do you feed whole prey to the domestic cats as well? Thanks for sharing, I love this video

[BigCatRescue]

@SilentKhayos No they just get regular domestic cat food :)

[zviaditemp]

they are very cute :)))

when bobcat is kitten u cant say that it is bobcat :D it looks like cat :D:D:D:D

if u buy cat kitten and it becomes a bobcat :D:D will be funny :D

[DeWellstein]

sooo cute, the house cat want's some too.

[JuhiSRK]

Were the baby chicks that were given to Hope humanely killed? Granted, I know they kill prey in the wild, I'd hope that the baby chicks weren't destroyed cruelly.

[BigCatRescue]

@JuhiSRK Yes, we make sure of this :)

[katievet123]

For hopes 1st solid meal what was it? It kind of looked like salmon

[BigCatRescue]

@katievet123 That was a prepared carnivore diet we purchase which is a mixture of ground meat/organs with added nutrients and minerals, we then mixed in some milk to make the transition easier for her :)

[Antelwi]

Poor Maxwell and Indie! They wanted to take part in this play...

[weirdfishgirl1695]

Aww! The other kittys want a chick too!

[Ebob101]

Aww... Kitties of all kinds are cute.

[serbmafioso3]

can i buy a bobcat anywehere are they legal to own

[BigCatRescue]

@serbmafioso3 Unfortunately they are legal to own in many states, however we would highly recommend not to own these WILD species of cats. They never lose their wild instincts, they pee on everything to mark their territory, they are expensive to feed, require specialist vet care and if you want to go on vacation what do you do with your bobcat???

[catluvr47]

@serbmafioso3 dont get 1!

[shortist2003]

Could you increase the loudness of the music, please. (rolls eyes)

[NWA90s]

lol, the cats outside want to get in

[aroyalmenace]

its SOO great what you guys do!

[xamirahx9]

aw cute

[TheTwinkletwinkle1]

awww she is so cute the other cats are trying to take the chick lol

[Speedball57]

It's good that you guys take care of these animals with a view to reintroducing them to the wild...bobcats are an important part of the ecosystem, no matter how cute they are as babies!

[Blondieningirl89]

That is so cute. She does not look much bigger than a regular kitten. It is so amazing when mother cats take in abandoned babies.  Are there ever cases where the baby does not learn to eat its prey and wants only to be bowl fed?

[BigCatRescue]

@Blondieningirl89 We haven't had that problem with bobcats we have rehabbed they have always been ready to hunt!

[2Freckles2]

Shame on you people, capitalizing off your youtube vids from this abandoned orphan. I was posting one a day on my Facebook page & now you are charging people to download them. If Hope only knew you are now just in it for the money.

[BigCatRescue]

All the money we raise is used to care for the 130 big cats that live at the sanctuary, I'm sure Hope would deem this OK :)

[DachshundStudios]

Adorable! Why do wildcats have to be so cute? Also, dont most cats have an instinct that somehow allows them to hunt even though they've never learned? Because I just caught my cat in a hunter's crouch eyeing a pigeon behind a closed window and he's been inside his entire life.

[BigCatRescue]

Yep, I'm sure all cats have the instinct to hunt however having the instinct and actually being able to hunt and kill your dinner are two separate things. We had to be sure Hope had these skills and was good at it before we released her back into thew wild :)

[nostromo38]

So cute...but, who is going to rehab the baby chicks and rats?

[enzarto]

Oh my gosh this is amazing, I guess in the later videos they separate from her adopted siblings. It's so sad that they'll lose their younger but much bigger sibling. Very cute though, sort of sad that mom can't be around to give her that raw wild training.

[1lightspeed]

Are you going to release her at some future time? How are you going to teach her to hunt?

[BigCatRescue]

We taught her to hunt using a tube system and live prey (rats) so they would come out the tubes in different areas.

[denWere]

lol the mother cat doesnt really have a name huh. no problem. i like how the regular lolcats are acting around the bobcat. cool video

[qwertproductions]

Can you adopt a bobcat from bigcatRescue?

[BigCatRescue]

qwert productions, we have sponsorship packets available on our website for all the different species we have at Big Cat Rescue! Thanks for watching!

[Ishmulel]

So Im hoping when the bobcat grows up it wont hurt the other cats & kittens?

[BigCatRescue]

Hope is now living on her own in the rehab cage at Big Cat Rescue, the domestic cats have moved on (all of them have found homes with Big cat Rescue volunteers!)

Thanks for watching

[Discordia5]

the house kittens look so jealous. i doubt they would eat the chick, they'd probably just play, too.

[ivy72396]

I just have to ask, how did you come across the dead chick for Hope?

[BigCatRescue]

ivy72396, we buy all the whole prey direct from a supplier, it comes ready frozen and ready to feed out, we also use dead chicks for handing out medications to some of our cats, they're perfect for slipping a pill into and the cat will normally eat the whole chick, job done!

[vickiormindyb]

I laughed out loud when she leaped into the air and landed on the plate. Love that little bobcat. : )

[Angecool1998]

the mother cat looks like mine. Hope is just an adorable little angel! shes gonna grow up real tough and strong

[TillyFlop]

Beautiful !! Her poor playmates weren't very happy they couldn't join in.

[skinnerburgers]

It's adorable when the kittens tried to steal the chick.

[leahwages]

beautiful!!!

[BigCatRescue]

Leahwages, there are 10 episodes in all so far, with more to come soon.

[BigCatRescue]

Lynxaid, if you go back through our previous videos you will see a video of the introduction of Hope to her adoptive cat family.

[BigCatRescue]

BeNGALi4LFE, a raw diet is better for cats, but has to be the whole rat, whole bird, etc. and not just the cuts of meat you find at the grocery store.

[BeNGALi4LFE]

im just wondering.. would it be okay for the regular cats to eat the same raw meat that Hope gets? bcuz i think that would taste better than regular cat food they eat.

[Marina7298]

Thanks for all your great job and big loving heart!People like you are true heroes who save the world!Unlike those who let drill oil in Alaska-I wish them to be dead.

[allegra411]

Dogsarebetter: I also feed raw! I feel sorry for the kittens LOL. They must be like "Hey why does my super close relative get a stimulating healthy whole prey item while we are stuck with a bowl of corn crunchies!?

[jamieburgan]

in the wild bob cats eat animals too...so their not doing it to kill other animals but for the animal to eat.

we eat chicken too and lots of other animals!

god made things for us to eat. its as simple as that!

[7Harlequin7]

Oh okay.When is episode 6 coming out?

[BigCatRescue]

7Harlequin7, I'll send the film guys a request. They will do updates as regularly as possible. So 6 should be coming soon.

[dogsarebetter]

LOL. I see the other cats are gathering around the cage trying to get at the chick. Do they get raw food too?

[BigCatRescue]

DogsAreBetter, the others are domestic cats and would be getting a diet the vet assigns to them which of course would be different than little Hope's since she is not a domestic. I will ask the Animal Guy, Scott.

[BigCatRescue]

DogsAreBetter, I have your answer from Scott, The Animal Guy: "..no the mamma cat and kittens don't get any raw food, just normal domestic feline diet."

[Fuzakkenayo]

Such a cute little object. Soon it will be eating cute things all on it's own. Such is the beauty of nature.

[pinoy426]

uhh thats stupid. so u save a bobcat but kill other animals for it. y is a bobcat's life more valuable than a little chick's life for u? if u didn't save the bobcat in the first place then u would have saved numerous little chicks' life.

[ayesha080]

@pinoy426 Cats are carnivores. We humans are omnivores and do not require meat in our diet but cats are obligate carnivores, which unfortunately means other animals would have to die.

[TonyTobar]

CUTE!!!!

[xRichard157x]

IS that the same cat that killed my two budgies!?!? I checked the cage and saw them both on the bottom with their heads gone.. :( poor birdies.

[meme000pinkgirl000]

WOW AMAZING!!

[Stfuppercutter]

totally natural envioronment you are creating for taht cat btw. good job!

[aoema]

I know thats waht I meant......just not frozen

[mafersura]

I don't think that you should do that with the chicken....

If the cat it is staying at home, you should just feed him normal...as a domestic animal

[itzsimplyasmi]

incredibly adorable!

[verycoldice2]

kill the bobcat; problem solved

[ruffjeff]

Sylvester has finally caught Tweety...:(

[syaoranpies]

i feel bad for the chick though

[foxbow15]

you're everyday housecat plays like that with 10's of birds everyday untill they die. You just never see it, that's wy i hate cats

[musicrocksmyheart]

Well if you have nothing pleasent to say, SAY NOTHING. ifyou also hate birds TOO BAD my friends and I saved a bird with a broken wing!

[GroovyBlackCat]

I just love all the other cats watching Hope playing with the carcass.

[elijahj8812]

wow...i wonder what the other kittens are thinking as Hope grows 5x as fast as they do

[1mediaseeker]

The wild feline may not have reacted as she should towards the prey, because she is learning behaviors from domesticated cats.

I'm very concerned on how humans are critically thinking about this forced influence. I'm wondering if enough research is being done.

[kankuroandshino]

the question is...Will it blend? NNONO JKKJJKJKJKJK srsly that was relaly mean but still..but my real comment is im gonna kitten-nap that thing and paint it white and name it mittens!!

[telegraphline]

Многообещающе оно не получают, что ударяет автомобилем.

Hopefully it not be getting hit by automobile.

[rafakasb]

Isnt playing with a dead body a crime? or does that only apply for humans? lol

[rufoolish]

i luv the whole gay music thign u got gonin on

[liliceman6]

where tha hell you a bobcat

[Valientlink]

My kitty kimba.... got taken when I was 5. We found it in a sewer and it was always sick. I hate being allergic their so sweet!

[khalitko]

chick got owned... nice assist by the humans lol

[BigCatRescue]

Garfeild14, I am sending you a message with the link. THANK YOU so much for helping support this work.

[aslan45]

that is just too cute.

[speakdino10]

Ew :D that chix guts are probably everywhere by the time the bobcat stopped flipping it around and playing with it. Hah, very cute though. You make me want one. But for now me and my dog are good enough :)

[BigCatRescue]

SpeakDino10, bobcats stay cute little babies for only a very short short time.  When they grow up, which is very quickly, they do not back good pets at all.

[speakdino10]

I know, a lot of animals grow very quickly. I was only kidding about it, yeah, I wouldn't obtain one because I would "selfishly" keep it domesticated (in a way) to keep it. Speaking of which, are there any special licenses a person would need to legally own one? There should be.

[codyage]

you know maxwell and indy want some of that chick lol

[texasgirly1979]

oh i can't look dead baby chick!!!!! :(((((

That just made my sick. I liked first 2 minutes ( well until 1:55 ) minutes!!!!!

I care for my cat and chicks like you can see in my videos. You should of given the cat dead mouse!!!!!

[BigCatRescue]

TexasGirly1979, I'll pass the comment on.

[polaros93]

great video

[nomdecodenikita]

Funny story... I actually found one in my hometown texarkana tx and thought it was a lil' kitten about 2 months down da road my momma was like das not no cat big paws and teeth found out da hard way when it was hungry and not makin' little meow sounds anymore... she started makin' scary wild yells gave it food and locked it out on da terrace and called police to cum get it, lol!

[BigCatRescue]

Nomdecodenikita, THANK YOU for sharing this comment. It is true as they grow up they become what they are, wild carnivores and not cute little house kitties.

[tommy2008]

[JuliaWinters]

It such beautiful kitten ^^. We should not admit their disappearance.

[7Harlequin7]

Hahaha yeah! How did u guys kill the chick?!

But i guess its just the food chain..........

Anyways,nice vid :)

*Subscribes*

[BigCatRescue]

7Harlequin7, we don't kill them.

[7Harlequin7]

how do they die so??

[BigCatRescue]

7Harlequin7, Since I am not the one who orders the food for the cats, I don't know. I'll have to ask someone in that department.

[suomunkrisu]

Bobcat ^^

[shilack2]

I think you should slap it every now and then so that its afraid of humans. It is a nice thing you are doing though, best of luck to Hop...she is adorable

[BigCatRescue]

Shilack2, We cannot participate in any abuse here. We just cannot do that. We will do our best though as this youngster grows up to make sure it does not look to humans for comfort and food. We will o our best to make sure it can grow up wild and be rreturned to the wild capable of living wild and free.

[shilack2]

she is cute...hope that it goes well...best of luck.

[xXwintercageXx]

how come they cant keep bobcats?

[scuzzlebutt]

sooo cute how it mutilates that carcass.

[BrownFuzz]

lol @ the other cats trying to get at the chick at the same time

[runswithscissorsalot]

you guys are doing an awesome job

[iZzaYaH]

that was funny when it was playing with the dead bird. if he doesn't wise up, he's screwed in the wildlife.

[Zerosh1ft]

pretty cool piano solo that was being played while the bobcat was trying to tear the baby chick to shreds

[DeVoChKeNhA]

mataram o pintiiiiinho =/

vo afogaa esse gatinho na privada e dar discarga >|

[paramore13rocks]

so cute and adorable!!!!

[baallz187]

Hope is adorable! It's so cute how her neighbors are so curious and try to join in the fun.  I hope she stays well!

[adioskater7565]

so vute

[badjaeaux]

poor little kitten

[BRITINEEEEE]

i hated the ending

[ChicagoGypsyChanel]

i want her

[BigCatRescue]

ChicagoGypsyChanel, you wouldn't for long. She will soon be older, wilder and would NOT be a safe or fun pet.

[ironchopsticks]

10 years ago, my little brother (age 4) was killed by a bobcat while we were hiking in a state park.

I've wished many times that I could meet that bobcat when it was a baby so I could kill it.

You have this opportunity. Kill that bobcat before it kills someone you love.

[BigCatRescue]

IronChopSticks, I am saddened to hear of your loss. That is sad sad sad. Unfortunately, when humans enter a wilderness area which is the wild animal's habitat wild animals will be just what they are wild animals. While in the woods parents need to keep little children at their sides at all times. While I understand your frustrations, little Hope was not the cat from your youth and should not be held accountable for it.

[BigCatRescue]

IronChopsticks, again I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine the sadnedd your family experiences over that tragedy. However, may humans have done terrible things, but that does not mean you should be held accountable for their actions, does it?

[RighteousBigot]

ironchopsticks, if what you say is true (and I doubt it very much) a 4 year old shouldn't have been put in the position to be killed by anything, Bear, Mt. lion, rattle snake, escaped convict, ect. The Cat was just doing what wild cats are suppose to do, but you were not!

[markco2]

Ahhhh....look at the cute lil piggy!! I love bobcats.

[zuki1899]

i've always had a problem with those chicks, especially those marshmellow ones around easter!! good job lil' bobcat!!

[greganwortman]

there are a lot of people on youtube and very very few know what they are doing around a computer: you MUST make your video files smaller!! Doesn't do any good to watch a little white circle revolve in a black field. Most people's files are TOO BIG TO LOAD!

[Robird168]

Did you have to feed it a Chick?

Why not a mouse or something even smaller (if possible)

[TLFB1000milesx]

THIS IS THE CUTEST VIDEO EVER!!

[iLuvSPH]

WILL IT BLEND!!!!!!!!!!

[BigCatRescue]

iLuvSPH, blend?

awesome video. :]

[cyraxkilawatt]

Very Cute

[nls8520]

Bilpayne: Its nice to hear that you did that. Thats why its so important for all of us to never buy fur, and to spred the word to every one we know to not buy fur and support the fur trade.

[BigCatRescue]

Nls8520, THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT!!! We sincerely appreciate it!!

[mskiwii]

Hope is so cute! I can't wait to see more :)

[wheeler1]

That Mama cat is gonna be in for a BIIIIG surprise when that thing grows up!!!

[BigCatRescue]

Wheeler1, the staff will certainly make sure the adopted momma and adopted siblings are never in danger.

[bilpayne]

I bought one from some one that was raising them for fur to save him ended up giving it to Arbuckle Wilderness

[bilpayne]

Bad thing about a pet bob cat it goes to the bathroom in its water

[BigCatRescue]

Bobcats do not make good pets. We are not wanting this baby to grow up to be a pet. Our hopes is that it will remain wild and not imprint on humans so that it can one day be returned to the wild.

[RighteousBigot]

I guess you wont be returning the baby chicken to the wild (ha ha kidding). I came face to face with a fullgrown Bobcat about 25 years ago on a Logging trail near Longville, MN, we stopped and stared at each other for a few seconds, the thing was huge, and i was relieved when it ran away.

[BigCatRescue]

RighteousBigot, they will avoid humans if at all possible. THANK YOU for sharing your comment!!

[dadorean]

no offence considering thats your job but.. you have been hand feeding it for how long and holding it and no dought playing with it... its a safe bet that it has imprinted on humans

[BigCatRescue]

Dadorean, we do not cuddle it or play with it. It is handled only enough to meet her needs.

[CHICANOFOREVERTX]

how cute.

[hilarylynne]

I was wondering why she was sequestered from Mom cat and the other kittens. Is this to train her in order to "catch her prey" on her own"? Is she still nursing from Mom cat? Or is she old enough to eat solid meat from now on?

[cornguy]

the best part was when the domestic cats tried to reach in and play with the chick to.

[soheiljerusalem]

O MY God that was not pleasant to see the way he was playing with that poor chick . just wondering how did you kill that poor thing ? OK I know it's needed for Hope to lean how to ....

Just wanted to know how did you kill the chicken ? man ....

[capnquack]

They would have gotten it the same way they get all their food - from a farmer, already dead. It looks like they chopped open it's belly a little so the bobcat could smell the meat inside.

[aoema]

I dont think she killed it her self dude......they prolly get shipments of this stuff.

[BigCatRescue]

Aoema, no we don't kill anything. They come shipped to us already passed away and frozen.

[teamkrfan]

Thats so cute!!

[onekinkstar]

I enjoyed watching and thank BCR for all the hard work - for all the big-o cats.

Seeing Momma and her 'real' babies looking in from outside the crate is really cute. They might be thinking they could do a better job than that silly Bobcat! Funny too when Hope was sucking on the meat, or 'nursing' it, and watching her play with the dead bird.

Oh, by the way, make sure the bottle is held up to fill the nipple completely with milk. Otherwise, the baby gets gassy from the air in it's tummy.

[marthektheman]

soooo cute!!

[Beachmaiden]

Thank you for doing the important work that do, for our precious earth's wild cats. It does a heart good, to see that someone is.

[pizzledizzlewizzle]

cool

[bondcat7]

I watched all 5 episodes of Baby Bobcat.

Is there an episode 6? Was Baby Hope let lose?

WHAT HAPPENED??

[BigCatRescue]

BondCat7, these updates are current hapenings.

[Tigerheartwarrior]

She is soo cute! The dead chick is a little gross but its funny how she plays with it. hehe

[venniey]

Just wonderful, you all are so great. Makes me what to move there and work there!

[darkula666]

nice video.

[ExtermCentral]

Hope is growing up so fast, she'll be a big kitty in no time at this rate.

[pokemonglitcher2]

cute

lol the other kittens looked jealous XD

[josiahdallas]

This is so cool to watch. A baby bobcat growing up and we can just sit and watch the updates. Please keep this up. I am rooting for Hope! Looks like shes in good hands.

[Majakilla1]

Aww, Hope is soooo cute!

I'm sure everyone appreciates you saving all these big cats!

[SnowLeopardQueen]

That's so wonderful - they grow up so fast. :]

I wish you guys luck in setting her free once she grows up!

[MK182004]

Wow she's really grown! I hope she can catch a pray in the future and learn to be wild again:P

[princessbetty95]

great he is so adorable i love this program and you do all the correct things for the cats
