BOBCAT KITTENS Vs Rats/Chicks/Mice!

[theEXdustry]

0:21 The cat looks like she's saying, "Sigh... Kids..."

[dubinek88]

What happend to Bobbis own kittens?

[BigCatRescue]

@dubinek88 They were adopted together by a Big Cat Rescue volunteer :)

[kozmon0t]

bobcat kitten sounds stupid. They should be called bobkittens.

[XDog33]

O what am I talking about I find them even cuter now

[XDog33]

O.O I will never find kittens cute again

0:06

[TheMusikeTube]

So nasty when they showed the mouses

[5spdOnly]

Bobcat kitten owned at 1:18! Cute

[hotcoco7946]

beautiful kittens. Once while on vacation I saw one in the brush of the grass, so cute :)

[keybawtiz]

What happened to Bobbi?



[BigCatRescue]

@keybawtiz Bobbi was adopted by a loving family in 2010, she spent christmas inside a nice warm house :)

[tollboothjason]

0:21 DINNER!

[MrShayneOneill]

Hah. Bobbi is such an attentive foster mom. Even if she's thinking "DAMN these kids are growing big!"

[iSpeed09]

:C those poor rats/mice/chicks

i know it's for them to live, but i still feel bad

[faeliie]

Lol the domestic kittens just look at the whole prey like "ew...."

[nath9n15]

hahahha 1:01 (am i fat) hahhaha

[TrippleLee]

DUUUUUUUDE i have the same cat toy as 2:25

[FUGlitchyLogin]

Cute, how big will these eventually grow? We don't have big cats in the wild in the UK so never seen a bobcat up close (excluding a piece of earth moving equipment I used to drive). There have been reports of rogue black panthers in some places over the years though I've never seen any.

[Slashslayer1]

I used to have a cat just like those little ones!!!i miss them..They got killed or stolen so now we are looking for a 2 new baby kittens my cats used to get on my bed and jump like 6 feet up to my T.V i miss those guys..

[cheshirecat14]

Was Bobbi fed a natural diet when caring for the kittens?

[BigCatRescue]

@cheshirecat14 She was fed domestic cat food...

[cheshirecat14]

@BigCatRescue Bummer. lol

[stormyapril81]

When did you switch them to live prey? I just assumed if these cats are to be returned to the wild that they'd switch to live prey. 

[BigCatRescue]

@stormyapril81 I believe it was around 6 months of age when we started to introduce live prey to the diet... Did you see the latest update video?

[stormyapril81]

@BigCatRescue - Yes, I saw it after I commented here. I was so sorry to hear about the two of them passing away.

[AmayachiChiyotora]

It would be awesome to have a domestic cat with the same markings

bet cleaning up wasn't fun

[SonsoftheProphets]

0:21 the bobcats seem to be more aggressive than the kitten

[ShaytardFan312]

@BigCatRescue Thanks! I was always wondering about that.

[ShaytardFan312]

@BigCatRescue Why do you use a regular house cat and not another mother cat of it's own kind?

[BigCatRescue]

@ShaytardFan312 Any other bobcat would probably kill the kittens, also the domestic cat Bobbi was in a nursing stage after adopting two domestic kittens that were not hers.

[LonelyWolfesss]

If the domestic cat who rased them met again when the bobcats were older would they be calm?

[BigCatRescue]

@LonelyWolfesss Probably not, once these cats are sexually mature, they really wouldn't care, they are 100% wild!

[Rummelhart]

Wonderful! NOTE: These are not pets. THANK YOU to BigCatRescue for allowing us to interact with the terribly attractive wild cats without endangering either us or them. Terrible = causing terror, dangerous, frightening -- and thrilling. Which none of us can resist.

[JeansForLife]

If one has a great and large outdoor environment for a big cat can small ones like lynx and bobcats be owned. will they bond with someone if they are raised from birth with that someone.

[BigCatRescue]

Respond to this video... Owning any species of wild cat, no matter what you do to 'domesticate" them they will always have their wild instincts and can always be dangerous. Even if they do bond with someone, one day they might see something that triggers their instincts and you could become their prey, just look at Seigfried and Roy.

[tudssquadbuisness]

@BigCatRescue Hehe, I saw a regular house cat in the video. What's their name?

[BigCatRescue]

@tudssquadbuisness That was Bobbi their surrogate mom :)

[JeansForLife]

why arent they raised in a wilderness like environment?

[BigCatRescue]

@JeansForLife They were inside to begin with, now they are outside in a secluded spot on the sanctuary :)

[shaheennobar]

My cat was mewing when she saw this

[mal8881]

My 2 cats (domestic) have the same toy at 2:06, 2:22, etc!!!

[SuperKizzyCat]

Clone,

These are wild animals, not domestic kittens - when they grow up you definitely won't want one, they can be just as dangerous as lions and tigers.

[Clone102]

I want one.

[thundercon448]

those videos are awesome. Just subscribed to your channel.

[BigCatRescue]

@thundercon448 Thanks and thanks! :)

[MohoFlaggins]

Is it safe to have domestic cats with wild cats in the same habitat?

[BigCatRescue]

@MohoFlaggins at this stage it is safe, yes. They also look at Bobbi has there mother so it's OK to keep them together at this age :)

[MeowcatBissy]

Hahaha look at you guys, showing off that iMac box xD

[MysticWolfy17]

Sooo!!!! cute *SQWEE*

[FTPGONZ]

they are awesome animals do you know if its lieial to

import them to new zealand if so how much do you think

thease beautiful animals would feach for ???

hopefully not over the $1000 mark :) please reply

[ExUSSailor]

I have never seen anything look so fuzzy, and adorable while devouring a once living animal.

[FTPGONZ]

@ExUSSailor what about me i had steak that once was liveing 

[ExUSSailor]

@FTPGONZ Well, I've never seen you. For all I know, you're not fuzzy at all.

[FTPGONZ]

@ExUSSailor shore im fuzzy my head is fuzzy my armpits are fuzzy my balls well theyre alil burnt so not so much fuzzy bloody misses is dandgerious with a lighter

[ExUSSailor]

@FTPGONZ LOL

[marcell12343]

I want one so bad, they're so ADORABLE!

[inbetweentics]

@marcell12343

they may be adorable but they can't be pets. that's how they end up at rescue places like big cat rescue - because people think they're so adorable and they find out that these animals are extremely dangerous, no matter how "domesticated".

please do what you can to educate others about why these exotic cats should never be kept as pets and do what you can to support the mission of rescues like big cat rescue and safe, wild open spaces for these very wild creatures.

==^.^==

[waypa73]

Stone cold killers (in training lol)

[inbetweentics]

we may have taken the cat out of the jungle, but you can never take the jungle out of the cat..

[xyxstradus]

they grow up so fast *sniff*

[WolborgOfTheSnow]

I think I'll buy a stuffed big cat at your website for my B-day :3

[LoadMoreSuggestions]

The cat(with white and black fur) was like, "Ugh, why do I always get the leftovers?"

[Thaxt]

Live prey actually is the best diet for domestic cats, too. It has nutrients that the major pet food co.s are negligent about. A few labels are moving to include supplements like taurine, etc.

I did wonder - do Bobbie & the 2 domestikits get in on the mouse, rat, & chick dinner at all ?

[Ebob101]

Can i have one?

[inbetweentics]

@Ebob101

can you have one what? a mouse to eat?

[LonelyWolfesss]

So cute!

when they grow if they have grown yet , they sure will be beautiful.

I hate to see hunters kill and catch these wonderful animals..

They belong in a preserve like you guys, or in the wild.

I see below about owning these cats, i totally disagree by 100% these cats dont belong as a house pet, or even in the "massive" back yard.

They belong in the forest and to the world.

These animals are all beautiful me myself hold on the wolves and large cats.

So leave the animals at peace..

[loonmaniac]

Big cats have different metabolisms than housecats, so giving them IAMS just won't cut it, they need the real McCoy.

[ArmoredRhino]

Can anyone tell me why big cats can't eat regular cat food? :)

[BigCatRescue]

@ArmoredRhino They can eat it, but it's definitely not the best diet for them.

[DKC60628]

@ArmoredRhino On top of what the uploader already said, it's also better for house cats to eat real food as well; not cat food. Dry cat food is mostly carbs fortified with protein, and cats are obligate carnivores, so an ideal diet would be pure complete protein and the amino acids that raw meat provides. The main reason people buy cat food is because it's easy, cheap, and available, not because it's best for the cat.

[Tetrahydrocanbnl]

@ArmoredRhino your a dummy

[ArmoredRhino]

@Tetrahydrocanbnl your a jesus.

[aligatorsandwitch72]

Why dont you just throw some mice in there for them to chase & eat?

[U23Drocs]

Ive always wondered this, when you are taking care of the animals do the recognize you and therefore, not attack or do they occasionally lash out?

[CyberViking27]

@U23Drocs I don't know the answer for certain, but I'd be willing to guess that since they're still wild animals then, yes, they do lash out occasionally. But I'd also think that the handlers do have a certain bond with the animals. However, look at what happened with Siegfried and Roy. They had what could arguably be the best human-wild cat relationship ever. Instinct still took over and an attack occurred. That's a really good reason to not have such animals as "pets".

[BigCatRescue]

@U23Drocs We only ever have contact when we need to in the early stages, now they are outside in their rehab enclosure with no contact or noise from us at all :)

[XAtreyuXRockerX]

1:20 = Owned

[sammmfrg]

cute cats eating cute chicks, dosent get any cuter than that

[junibeautiful]

wooow

[KaggyKagomie]

is the white 1 a normal cat?

[BigCatRescue]

@KaggyKagomie Yep, the black and white cat is their domestic surrogate mum :)

[t3z2pulm]

Kind of funny how a cat can have a bloodied, half-eaten rat in its mouth and still be cute.

[MikeGeorg]

This is only too cute!! Gorgeous little kittens, i adored them! Thank u for this great video

[Boneslinger88]

Can you keep one of those for a pet?

[BigCatRescue]

@Boneslinger88 You can own big cats legally in over half of the united states, this is where the problem lies. Many of our cats are former pets that people abandon once they realize wild cats do not make good "pets" !! We are trying to end this by enforcing stricter laws and banning the private ownership of these cats :)

[Boneslinger88]

@BigCatRescue Well I got like 60+ acres he can run around on, was just wondering when he becomes big will he wanna bite my hand off, are still be cool with me and let me pet him?

[BigCatRescue]

@Boneslinger88 no matter what you do or what you provide for the cat, they are wild cats and will always have wild instincts and if those instincts tell it to attack you it will.

[minipancho94]

@BigCatRescue instead of banning private ownership why not make it almos timpossible to get one so only the people who know how to keep one and have the resources to keep one can. also many states wouldnt mind making some extra income by there being a fine for owning one without some sort of license or expertise. also another possibility is that there has to be some partnership with a zoo or some other orginisation with experience of taking care of big cats.

[BigCatRescue]

@minipancho94 This misses the point entirely these cats don't belong in cages no matter what resources or funds it may raise it won't change the fact that we're allowing people to keep big cats as so called "pets" then we would get the "if he has one, why can't I?" debate. It needs to stop.

[HighxFinity]

You guys must be really proud of your work, because it's great the humans care about animals and not destroy their property by contruction lolz :)

[Splangy1]

the Bobcats are built to eat meat with no question. it is just how there bodies are made.

[KairiKinz]

There are dead animals everywhere but they're so cute.

[adventurekidsam]

I wanna do this so bad, but i dont want to touch the chopped chicks. :I

[ccowap15]

will you ever feed them live food, so they can practice hunting?

[furiouschopstick]

LoL hunting stuff animals!!!

[phongbong]

Do you keep the cat with them through their whole life or while they eventually kill it if not separated?

[BigCatRescue]

@phongbong No we separate them eventually, bobcats are solitary in the wild so they will have to learn to be on their own etc... before their eventual release :)

[lilkrnxangel420]

i applaud people like you that take care of animals. you guys must be full of love :)

[dude31312]

i want one D:

[pwnz0r5]

[o0portal0o]

Oh dear, I love rats but a bocat kitten needs to eat! <:3 )-~

[wijnruit]

[BigCatRescue]

@wijnruit Whoever was feeding them that day! It's a fun job :)

[whales098]

@BigCatRescue not to me!!! Poor mice. :(

[minipancho94]

@BigCatRescue bet its smelly if you hit the lower digestive tract to :P

[FruittisMaris]

Hey guys I watch your videos all the time can you do me a favor and watch my very first video of one of my "BIG CATS"! (house cat) just type in fruittismaris and you will find my first video! Thank you guys for always sharing the cats with me! Please give my love too Storm, Midnight & Rain. And I hope they are doing well.

But I've got a question for you. Do you give all your big cats shots? Even the ones that may return in to the wild? You know for rabies etc... etc...?

[barfumer]

do they ever om nom nom nom while they eat?

[BigCatRescue]

@barfumer No, but we do have a serval that does this all the time...very funny! :)

[barfumer]

@BigCatRescue you should upload it, it would likely be really famous

[MrCountrycuz]

@barfumer Bengal kittens do that big time.

[wowliraren12345]

playfull little beasts:)

[Gabyro98]

The other baby?Not the boobcats the other!

[00YsoSerious00]

do they meow?

[Cracker6000]

is the black and white ?feline? a cat or a bobcat?

[00YsoSerious00]

how do you no hose who?????

[Lifeflame5]

thanks for letting me know that a staffer had adopted the House Cat Kittens, Will she/he take the Momma Cat too or does she already have a home? The other kitens who were fostered so that Momma could look after 2 of her own and the 3 Bobcat Kittens, have they been adopted? Lastly will you or someone put tracking devices on Midnight Rain and Storm to learn how they adapt and where they range, provide health checkups and growth information, adaptation information and etc?

[jedpalc]

How old are they in this video?

[thompsonong]

look like their fake mama mouse hate to eat mouse??

[metallica6474]

@ 0:51 the houser cats thinking wtf is this crap!?!!? i want kitty nip!

[Whatsername1389able]

Such beautiful kittens!

[AkiranoYoru49]

O.O there as big as their Fake-Mama-Cat now ... But they're still so cute ^-^

[Kranda123]

I love all your work and effort you put for the cats. It's a shame how some people can mistreat them. Their habitat is disappearing and they don't mean to harm humans other then protecting their cubs, which is fully understandable. Its great that their are organizations like yours to keep these magnificent creatures that we're abandoned or miss threated alive. Much love.

[bewaredrev]

cute but deadly

[BigCatRescue]

@bewaredrev EXACTLY! :)

[WinglessFlutters]

Their eyes are fucking gorgeous. <3

[AdvertChild98]

Do you think tigers and lions would love eating rats?

[BigCatRescue]

@AdvertChild98 I wouldn't say love, we try rats in frozen enrichment for the big cats but they aren't really interested in them, they like rabbits though! :)

[1MisterAaron]

@BigCatRescue why the hell is a bobcat kittens keeps touching The Camera?

[FallsOffCouches]

I'll bet that's tons of fun to clean up afterwards :)

[bobbytomorow]

I loved this vid, and how the house cat was so casual...say, those kittens do they get the eyes like house cats? with the slits in daylight? or do they always stay round?

[BigCatRescue]

@bobbytomorow They eyes are like house cats :) The larger species are round

[bobbytomorow]

@BigCatRescue thanks :)

Do any of the big cats have the slit eyes, or all round?

[wvlekker]

Why not release some living mice so the kittens could have a taste of the real action ? I love to watch cats when they're hunting, and also when they're not. Funny to see bobs along with domestic cats, all getting along pretty well.

[BigCatRescue]

@wvlekker They will be fed live rats later on in their rehab cage outside :)

[iluvbobcats]

In the beggining when it showed the sign ''Do Not Enter! Kittens Playing'' what happends it you do enter? Will the kittens get mad?

[BigCatRescue]

@iluvbobcats There's just the chance of escape! We normally use the back door to the hospital as it is split into two separate sections with two way glass to observe the kittens. The sign is just to make sure people don't try the door and scare them with the noise.

[iluvbobcats]

On 0:20 the bobcat kittens ran for the mice, but why did'nt they share any with the black-and-white cat? But anyways cute video, I really like bobcats there my favourite animal :)

[BigCatRescue]

@iluvbobcats Bobbi their domestic surrogate mum is fed regular cat food away from the kittens so she doesn't need to eat the whole prey like the kittens. :)

[iluvbobcats]

@BigCatRescue but why did Bobbi run toward the ''bobcats kittens'' food?

[dilligaf763]

enjoying watching the bobcats grow...BCR is the best thing to happen to these and all the other "rescues".....hoping someday to visit!!

[CanadaNS]

They have to be the cutest things on earth!! Mind you, I don't like watching them eat those chicks! LOL Thanks for keeping us updated on their progress xx

[EarTipper]

@ 0:23 NOMS!!!

[mksemposki]

Excellent job BCR!!!! I am so glad to see these kittens turning out as well as the other ones did!!! Keep up the great work!!!!

[thelionkingfamilys]

soooo cute

[brotherjupiter]

We go wilderness camping all the time with our 14 year old black short hair cat and she makes it known which spots she really likes.

In particular the ones with spectacular view points and atmosphere.

The very exact places we like the best.

Its obvious Gaia's creatures appreciate and seek out beauty like we the top predators do and it's quite something to observe.

[mushdragon]

I feel so happy to see cats happy ^^

[Brodiz]

Are they going to stay at Big Cat Rescue or you going to release them back in to the wild? They are really cute and looks like Bobby is having fun too =)

[BigCatRescue]

@Brodiz Our goal is to release them back into the wild! :)

[shannonshallbemine]

aww they are adorable :)
