@spencerbosma1 Not really we keep a close eye on them form the other room using a two way mirror so we can judge how they are getting along and will split them up when we think Hope is ready to live on her own etc.. :)
Is it possible for a domestic cat to be part bobcat?
I ask this because one of my cats (I raised his mother as well) VERY MUCH resembles a bobcat (yes, he has the bob tail too), and acts incredibly wild even though he's been domesticated at birth. I've seen his mom hanging out with the bobcat that hunts on our property (they've been seen together multiple times).
Is this all just coincidence? Teddy acts very much like this kitten does!
@BojikArc Maybe? Your cat may be a pixie bob? If you google it you will see what they look like, all our bobcats would rather attack a domestic cat then be friends with it :)
@BigCatRescue Possibly...just looked it up, and he really does resemble a pixie bob...we raised both his mother (a calico) and him from birth....
Oh, the bobcat here is NOT afraid of my cats...I live on a farm, and all my cats are buddies with this fellow.
Teddy is a very wild cat...and he doesn't like anyone but me, he runs away from everyone else. He also has a tendency to drool when he purrs...he's always been a very strange cat, both in looks and in personality.
Momma cat looks like the first cat I ever had. I named her Matches, 'cause she was black on her back and head with a white strip across her neck. I was nine when I got her.
I love the momma cat, 'cause she reminds me of my Matches.
We do not include rehab cats in our sponsor packets because we hope to send them back to the wild as soon as they are ready. If you send in your card with Hope on it though, they can make your adoption certificate that way.
VickiOrMindyB, it is possible the booklet was printed before Hope was here. I will pass this on the the volunteers who put those together. THANK YOU FOR ADOPTING Alex.
Bobcats can get up to 40 lbs. They aren't afraid of much. I have never heard of a bobcat breaking into a home, because there isn't much in your house that would interest them, unless it is full of rats.
How big do bobcats get? My friend, who lives in a pretty secluded are, says a bobcat broke through his downstairs window one night and made a beeline for the kitchen. That's where my friend found it when he got downstairs.
He claims it was gigantic. Anyway, why would a cat wanna come into somebody's house like that, especially if it's used to living in the wild?
Can I ask everyone a favor? If you are following the Hope, The Baby Bobcat Series, would you save each of them as a favorite and then make a playlist of them? That would really help us spread Hope's story around the net. Also, if you are part of any YouTube groups, would you mind to add Hope's videos to your groups?
Genie990, Scott, The Animal Guy, has given me the answer for your question: The adopted mother is very young, probably only about a year or so... she came from a shelter, so we don't know for sure.
GoldZap, the bobcat and the Siberian lynx both has short stubby tails. Both have black tips on their tails but one has black all the way around the tail the other has black only on the top and side of the tip of the tail. Just a silly random fact. Smile, thanks for the random facts chit chat.
It is hard to imagine any more endearing and effective "spokescats" for Big Cat Rescue than Hope and her family. You guys are doing wonderful and important work. Thank you!
It will not be long before Hope will start to get the upper hand in the training battles. I can already see that Momma has to use more of her strength and experience to get the upper hand. If this was the last time they play together..they got their moneys worth. LOL. Momma Cat is a special cat,I didnt think she was going to accept Hope but she has with open paws LOL. She has done a good job of raising Hope as well as Big Cat Rescue. You guys are real heroes. Peace.
my cats do that too! the younger one always tackles the older one and always seems to want to play when the other one doesn't. it's hilarious. this is a great video, can't wait for episode 10!
I bet the mother was happy to have a child she could play on an equal ground with. =3
