Hello. I love your channel. Please have a look at this link... Can it be legal, can't it? It's not nice to look at (I can't embed the link, just search "Bobcat trapping '10" )
It's really really sad to see that happening in the USA today. Could any action be taken against bastards like these? I mean... they should be hunted down!
@vaderhausen Yes, it's still legal, you can write to your state representatives and voice your opinion on the matter, please visit CatLaws*com for contact info :)
hehe i lol'd when i saw one of the cats is named "will". such a silly name for a cat :) these animals are extraordinary!! their eyes are so mesmerizing!
We have a cat that is 1/4 bobcat (and half persian) - we didn't breed him, he was given to us - and I can tell you, even that far removed, all the "wild" isn't gone out of him. His meow sounds different than a normal cat, he has to eat special cat food to keep his urinary tract healthy, he is a ferocious predator, and he's frighteningly intelligent. I wouldn't trade a minute of the 13 years we've had him for anything - but I'm not sure I'd do it again.
I wonder if they're allowed to see their segregate mother (the domestic house cat.) Do they still treat her like their mom or would they eat her without thinking about because of the size difference?
@BigCatRescue ok probably the best idea but i don't think i could help but try and make friends with them,they are so damn nice to look at,they demand respect i know but they are an amazing creation
I love these kinds of videos, I like getting to know all the cats at BCR. These videos show how beautiful and happy these kitties are, and that they are wild! I'm a fan of BCR for life, and one day I want to volunteer! For now I'll watch your videos over and over ^___^
@SuperCuteButt1 It's an excellent question and one that doesn't really have an answer, tails are used by cats to balance and bobcats climb trees like other species?
i wonder what the laws are here in North Carolina against killing bobcats. i'm sure it's illegal to do so. but it's too late to save the bobcat that my redneck, savage cousin killed. My dads family is from Chicago and i am wanting to move up there or at least somewhere in Illinois more and more almost with every passing day now. not all people here in NC are ignorant rednecks but there is certainly no shortage of them. but i do know many,many good kind hearted people here also.
i don't hunt but here in a small town in the south where i live almost everyone else does. guys in my family try to get me to hunt with them but i refuse to do so. my cousin went deer hunting and saw a Bobcat and killed it for no reason except to mount it. that disgusted me and i will no longer associate with him for doing such a useless thing to an animal that seems to be rare here. i wish a wildlife officer would've caught him killing that bobcat. i see Bobcats here at times but it is rare.
@niteholler that's so sad. Why don't they understand? Did you try to stop your cousin from hunting animals again? I'd mentally kill someone if they hunted an animal.
@YesukaB yeah, but he doesn't listen because he's been trained by his dad to be that way. now i just don't have anything to do with him anymore because ignorant, narrow-minded and close-minded rednecks make me sick to my stomach.
When I was a kid I had some neighbors who found a bobcat kitten whose mother had been killed. If I remember right they ran out of milk so I agreed to carry it to my house to give it some. Talk about some sharp claws! I still remember the red marks it left on my chest as it was clinging to me and I was wearing a shirt. it''s meow was a whole lot rougher than a regular kitten. I realized then I would never want a bobcat for a pet.
@elfwhitewave Yes we do, they are popular as "pets" that then are unwanted, we also started in 1992 when we rescue d56 bobcat and lynx kittens from a fur farm :)
So why do people get rid of their pet bobcats? I can understand why people get rid of their big cats once they get to a certain age, but a bobcat seems somewhat easier to manage and isn't as expensive to keep.
We have lost a few feral cats here in Gotha Florida. They just don't come home anymore.....We have Bobcats living in the woods. There has been so much construction and tearing down of the animals natural habitat that I wouldnt doubt it that that is what has happened to some of my ferals.
@BigCatRescue I didn't know they could get *that* big! I saw a bobcat at The cat house in Rosamond California. Now that I know about BCR I want to save up to go visit!
Every time I see a video of big cats, I just see my little cats reflected in them--they share all the same mannerisms, expressions, habits...why can't people just adopt domestic cats if they want a pet cat? My little guys are the exact same as these big cats--except they won't rip my face off if they get angry.
I know my domestic cats aren't going to eat me for lunch if they're in a snit about something, either.
:-D
I've always loved big cats. There are some religions that see the divine in every living thing. I am awed sometimes at the perfect beauty in a big cat's face.
I think to myself "Only a Higher Power could have created something so beautiful."
Probably for the same reason people get rottweilers, pitbulls and dobermans over pomerianians and toy poodles. They just don't appeal to them, even though the bigger dogs are more dangerous and kill more people.
It is simply unbelievable that there are people who want to keep wild animals as pets. It can't all be ignocance, can it? I believe some people just are selfish, no regard to other living creatures.
Domesticated cats and dogs should be enough. Even more so, when so many are abandoned and cruelly treated.
I don't think I saw Catera in the video but, I did my senior show today using 4 of your big cat's testimonies and created illustrations for each of them. Catera was one of them. ;)
wow such pretties. I would never want one as cat, for my and the animals sake, but seeing all of them in your vids is great! Greetings from Germany, keep up the good work!
@123MIURA2:37 epic picture ;`-)) the eye of a ´´tiger´´
and @ BCR/ Chris behind the camera: you are the luckiest guy in the world
wish I could join the team.. or at least visit one day!! thanks for enabling us to experience your & your big kitties world at YT.. your videos are jewels !!
@RawMciver Not that we're aware of, there have been a few reports of black tigers but they usually turn out to be a case of when the tiger's stripes are larger than normal making them appear to be black to some degree ?
I see you have a lot of old cats here. I'm glad that they have a comforting and safe place to call home until they are returned to the earth. I take it the younger ones either have no hunting skills or are too thoroughly imprinted on humans to be safe for release?
@kjminniti Most of our cats we rescue are mature, but no matter what the age of the cat they are unable to be released into the wild, this very rarely happens and if so they are captive bred individuals with pure genetics etc... Like you said the cats we rescue also associate people with food etc.., lack hunting skills and would no doubt become nuisance animals.
@SmoggyZilla So many stories, many are fur farm rescues or former "pets" if you visit our website BigCatRescue*org and type the name of the bobcat in the search column you can find individual bios on all our cats :)
There is a bobcat I have seen on our land. We have wooded acreage full of wildlife. Rabbits, squirrels, opossum, snakes, raccoons, owls, hawks and more at times. There has been deer and at least once a mountain lion, not to mention the coyotes.
Crazy Horse is awesome "Don't mind me..just walking up to the fence to see you.." *swipe* "GET AWAY!" Totally cat like. I'm not sure which cat would scare me more if it were chasing me, a cougar or a bobcat.
Two of these beautiful creatures were lying in my back yard early last spring.They stayed for about 3 weeks.I wonder if they`ll be back next year.(NB,Canada)
I can see why people keep them as pets they look like big silver tabbys. They are very cute and look cuddly, they are nothing less than adorable especially when they are playing in the enclosures or snoozing in a tree. I think they would look even cuter in the wild which is why they shouldnt be pets at all. Thanks for sharing these beauties BCR
@ElementThrasher Like LuckyCatNeo said, we did this for Desiree the three legged serval, but we keep the names of the cats when we rescue them unless they have no name etc.. :)
just looking at their faces they almost look like a domestic cat you have as a normal pet... but when you see their teeth and how big they grow you realise that they arent meant for as household pets.
@equarg Yep, we wish more people did this, there are so many cats being euthanized in shelters each month, yet breeders are still breeding "designer" cats etc... :(
@AdvertChild98 You can tell them apart when looking at their tails, the bobcat's tail as a black tip just on top, while the lynx tip is black all the way around :)
I was once sitting at my computer during a thunderstorm and I heard a low growling. I thought it was the wind, since it sounded so unearthly. It continued, coming from behind a pair of sliding window doors, blocked by venetian blinds. I went over, pulled over the blinds, and staring at my face was a giant bobcat.
It scared the crap out of me. I literally jumped back and scampered up the stairs to the upper floor of my house, since I was so shocked.
Uhmmmm ... not to be all nit-picky and all, but aren't some of those "bobcats" actually lynxes?
And - those cats that are former pets and still want human interaction (as some seem to) - do you allow it? If not, don't you think that's kind of mean? The cat is accustomed to receiving human affection, and rejection or disinterest could be hurtful to them.
@CanadianBroad2008 We have a couple of lynx/bobcat hybrids included in this video.... Some may see the lack of interaction with the cats who appear to want it to be mean, but this is the safest and only option for us now. We don't allow contact with any of our cats it's simply too dangerous, they are still wild and very unpredictable.
@Zblj1987 They are in separate enclosures at the sanctuary we have a few enclosure with multiple bobcats but otherwise they are solitary. Plus you can distinguish which bobcat is which after you have worked at BCR for a few years :)

@lllzehcnaslll I can tell form their enclosures etc... plus I have been working around these cats for years so can distinguish between them :)

just looking at their faces they almost look like a domestic cat you have as a normal pet... but when you see their teeth and how big they grow you realise that they arent meant for as household pets.

If people want a "wild cat" they should go catch/ go get a wild stray from the humane society that will be put to sleep due to its angry nature.
Not only will they save a life, but get to have the "wild' inside their home!

@equarg Yep, we wish more people did this, there are so many cats being euthanized in shelters each month, yet breeders are still breeding "designer" cats etc... :(

Wait, I also know that there are lynx. They look so much alike Bobcats. How can we tell them apart?

Little Dove, Great Pretender, Indian Summer etc. Their original owners really have weird sense of humours for naming those cats that.
AdvertChild98 1 year ago
@AdvertChild98 You can tell them apart when looking at their tails, the bobcat's tail as a black tip just on top, while the lynx tip is black all the way around :)

Bobcats are so catty. They remind me of one of my neighbours' cat! Why mother nature has to make them as wild animals, not tame domestic cats??!!

I was once sitting at my computer during a thunderstorm and I heard a low growling. I thought it was the wind, since it sounded so unearthly. It continued, coming from behind a pair of sliding window doors, blocked by venetian blinds. I went over, pulled over the blinds, and staring at my face was a giant bobcat.
It scared the crap out of me. I literally jumped back and scampered up the stairs to the upper floor of my house, since I was so shocked.

Bobcats are so beautiful <3 I love how you can see the different face shapes in each of them.

Uhmmmm ... not to be all nit-picky and all, but aren't some of those "bobcats" actually lynxes?
And - those cats that are former pets and still want human interaction (as some seem to) - do you allow it? If not, don't you think that's kind of mean? The cat is accustomed to receiving human affection, and rejection or disinterest could be hurtful to them.
CanadianBroad2008 1 year ago
@CanadianBroad2008 We have a couple of lynx/bobcat hybrids included in this video.... Some may see the lack of interaction with the cats who appear to want it to be mean, but this is the safest and only option for us now. We don't allow contact with any of our cats it's simply too dangerous, they are still wild and very unpredictable.
