Here in Arizona we have some bold, surly Bobcat's!!

Took this photo just over our back fence.

Just what is this look saying???



God bless,
Birdgun

You call me a "cute, wittle puddy cat" again and I'll show you my cute, wittle claws!

Paraphrasing Peter Capstick, he's looking at you like you owe him money!

An encounter with the female at the nest didn't faze this kitty.

Could be. I'm pretty sure I got it from one of Capstick's books but he might well have borrowed it from Ruark. I enjoyed both of them.

So, you're telling me it started in cactii, moved to bobcats, of all things, from there to sheep and from sheep to humans. Fine. I got it. But now we got freakin' ZOMBIES tryin' to eat our brains. So can you get up from the microscope, pretty please, and use that .50 to HELP US STAY ALIVE?

Mice? BS, I didn't travel all this way just to rid your yard of mice. Now get that little yappy dog out here cuz I'm freaking hungry.

His look says, "Justice for P-Nut" !

Old Elmer once wrote " If a bobcat was as big as mt lion we would have to get rid of all of them. Ornery little buggers. So true.

In the OP it looks like the kitty is saying stuff that would earn me points or worse.

I once saw a video of a bobcat just trotting down a dirt road. Rattlesnake was sunning itself on the road and when the bobcat got close it rattled. The bobcat jumped about 4 feet sideways and a few steps past the snake. It turned around, killed the snake after a short battle, left it there dead and went on its way. Any creature that uses murder to cover embarrassment could definitely be classified as ornery.

You again?

Continuing the Clint Eastwood theme...

"Do you feel lucky punk? Well? Do you?"

I've only seen one in my life, up on the Skyline Drive, one ran in front of the car. I had hard time convincing my wife we did not need to "save it". But then she tried to give a dog biscuit to a bear once too. For a bright girl, she can get some silly ideas in her head.

Don't have to worry about predators up here.

Even the eagles will want to watch me get down.

The bobcat in the OP sat and looked at me for a while. Robert (bobcats don't like being called, Bob) got up and slowly walked away. Robert then looked back at me....

Where’s Antonio Banderas when we need him? Shrek reference if you need to know LOL

Maybe "You feelin' lucky punk? Well do you?"

"Don't even think about it."

I am relatively sure that if I translated that look I would get a few forum points. No thanks.

The main difference between most domesticated kittehs and their big cousins is the big ones will do the nasty things to you that the little ones want to do. Don't believe me? Give a cat a bath. Anyone who has done so knows things that other folks don't.

We certainly know a few words which other people have yet to learn. Having said that, I had a large, but not wild, house cat that actually like me to take her into the shower with me. As long as I didn't get her face wet, we were okay with getting wet. Once her face got wet it was game on and I never won those challenges.

You have a choice throw me a T-Bone or that yapping dog!!

As for the CAT on the cacti, He/she is saying: "Come and get me if you dare."

Got chihuahua?

We had an 8 pound cat that was weaned a bit too young and was not well socialized. She was raised by our first dog (Rott X) and bonded to the Rottweilers and Rott X Pit who came after Tiny. She was nasty to everyone other than us. She took 3 people and a blanket at the vet, and was banned from a boarding facility. It was not unusual to see her and the dogs out in the yard for a group pee and then just laying about, and many Saturdays I woke up in a pet sandwich - a dog on each side and the kitty on top of me.
