  • WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO LET HOPE EAT CATNIP!

  • @SUNBEAM880 Never, Hope was actually released back into the wild about a year ago! :)

  • Awesome series. I remember back in the sumer of 2008 the vet facility I worked for had a bobcat kitten that was found abandoned and sick in the wild. We attempted to nurse it back to health and contacted BCR about his future. You all said that there was another kitten about his age that was there. Could this be her? The facilities our little bobcat would be in are very nice, but unfortunately he passed away due to uncurable epileptic severe seizures. =[ Do your bobcats have seizures?

  • It could well of been Hope, yes. Fortunately none of our bobcats have seizures

  • That's good, I was wondering if it was common or something. We tried to treat him for epilepsy, but nothing worked, unfortunately. He's in a good place now though. I'm glad I got to experience taking care of a wild-cat kitten, it was very educational and touching.

    How is Hope doing by the way?

  • At least you did your best and he's resting in peace now, Hope is doing great and turning into a real wild, hunting bobcat!

  • YAY! Another Hope update!

  • It is! Go back and see the earlier videos of Hope. They're great! She was so young, a domestic mother cat, who had two young kittens of her own, nursed Hope and they have been together since. The kittens and mom will be place into homes at a certain point. They romp and play like siblings. Interesting because in the wild, a Bobcat would kill and eat a domestic cat if able to catch it!!!!!

see all

  • It's interesting to see that Hope's eyes reflect far more of the dim night vision light than the domestic cats. Something I didn't know.

  • that bug that flew up to the camera @ 3:25 = SO COOL :))

    xx

  • lol

    

  • the grae and wighte cat looks like my sisters cat pigen

  • Awwwww Hope is just so adorable! ^^

  • @ceilingkatt The point in filming with night vision is so WE can see what's going on, not for the cats.

  • @ceilingkatt they can't infrared waves, they have more rod cells in their eyes. plus they have huge eyes compared to humans.

  • 暗夜中可爱的小精灵
