Hmmmmm, now that I think about it, that's cool.

Actually I wouldn't mind meeting a bobcat, it wouldn't have to be domesticated, just socialized enough with humans not to tear me up. I could probably socialize them with a can of tuna, but for them suckers it would have to be a large can of tuna.

I used to have a coyote that we raised from damn near birth that got abandoned.  He interacted great with the all the dogs we had.

There are also a big cat sancurary, several miles from us. Used volunteer even if it was to just clean muck up. I was kept pretty busy with all that life stuff, like raising kids, working, raising various smaller exotics. Plus there was the worthless ex who thought it was beneath him to work for any one else. So sadly I didnt get to do it on a regular basis.   It was definetly very private and no a show and go kinda place.

Touching a big cat is as awesome as it comes if your a cat lover.

Status: offline 		I hear you, Savage Faerie.  We had a school field trip to Marine World Africa USA and I was all attention during the science show.  The best part was being able to touch the puma and the cheetah!  They were both older cats and very used to being around people. The puma's tongue was all scratchy just like a domestic cat.  The instructor told us that the roughness is for licking the last of the meat off the bones of their prey.

I had a friend in Minesota whos mother thought she was feeding wild cats, when the mom went to work over seas my friend went out to feed them only to find that they were skunks. Lol.

In my home town we had bob cats, awesome little guys, until you forgot to take your trash out when you were supposed to, or if your dogs went too far from the house.

But these guys look like they are just chillin out, kickin it with the hommies.
