A friends pet bobcat.

That's sweet. I see the dog in the picture wonder how they get along?? He's really pretty

[FattLip]

Pretty neat!

[kurt68]

That's really cool, but not for me, I'm a dog person.

You know why MOST people don't have large house cats like so many of us have large dogs? Dogs are LOYAL, cats are not. If you were to die in your house, and nobody found you for a while, when they did find you, your dog would likely be dead of starvation, laying right beside you. Die in a house full of cats and they'll eat your body. Dogs see you as a leader, a friend, a family member...your dog truly loves you. Your cat sees you as the dude that puts out my food and cleans up my poop. If we had 100 pound house cats, they'd see us as that dude that tastes really good....hey, somebody's putting a key in the door...LUNCHTIME!

Txfireguy, I've been a funeral director for 25 years here in Texas. I've got a few stories for you about dogs and their owners. The last one I was a part of, lets just say the little white toy poodle was red when I removed his owner from the front yard. The cops that were their were freaked out!

[Brannon74]

I had one come into the clinic for a few years that a guy had gotton before it open its eye. She got to about 26 lbs and was not to be messed w/ definatly a wild animal. She did fine w/ him and his family, but she would have to be locked up before anyone else came over because she would attack them. I would not advise anyone owning one. I wouldn't touch her until she was sedated.

One of my good friends had one for years in Dallas when I was in my 20's. I can assure you they are not like a housecat....the time his wifes schit-zu(sp?) had puppies and was locked in the bathroom...ol' Zach busted through the door and killed all the puppies and scattered blood all over the place....mass carnage.

I have more stories....he was really cool thought.

[Night Wing]

Beautiful animal. I've only seen two while bowhunting and that covers a span of 45 years. One was out of range, but the other was around 15 yards. It didn't know I was there. I watched it for a minute or two. Then it walked off. Made my day since it was the only unique thing I saw that morning. And I felt good about letting it walk.

[windwalker]

Thats is Sooo Kewl. I want one or maybe even two

Ditto on this! There were two women here in Houston that recently died somehow and they did not find them for a little while. The dogs had no problem helping themselves to the food source.

hey Thumper got any pic's of your bengal Kitty?

[RdRdrFan]

They are really cool creatures. I hear they mark/pee on everything more than regular cats.

[oneforthewall]

do you not have to have some type of licesnce to have one!

There is no state law regulating bobcats, it is left to the individual counties. Check with your sheriffs office. A taxidermy buddy of mine has one and he feeds it two chicken thighs w/leg each day plus all the fresh squirrels and rabbits he finds on the road.

[Texastaxi]

Not sure about the legalities, if it were in Texas, but a bobcat would be a cool pet UNTIL it reverted back to its roots and tore up all your stuff!

Cool pictures though.

That's pretty cool. Wasn't there some one on here that had a pet racoon that drank beer and hung out at the pool with them? They were at some big ranch and had lot of pics with this racoon hanging out with them. Any remember that?

Is this the coon you're talking about?

Probably not a good idea if you are a bird taxidermist!

[Honky_Tonk]

Very Cool!!!
