I had a friend who had a very sociable stray cat that was about the same size and color (But had a long tail). He sat and purred while she petted him, he even sat still and allowed me to pet him. I thought at the time he was a huge fluffy Persian type, til I put my hand on his head and ran down his neck. He was a short hair with steel girders for a neck, he was a stray but didn't have a scar or mark on him. Kinda felt sorry for the rest of the cats, dogs and bears in the neighborhood.
Normally I don't get on the computer this early in the morning however, as I find myself "regularly *employed" lately - (putting up molding, baseboard, re-wiring - my church has a house that's long been in need of extensive repair/renovation) - and as I'd mentioned sometime back that 'in my working life' ... Well this tale could go long so belay that.
Anyway I see the title Rise and shine! I'm thinking at least in my neck of the woods here in deepest darkest Arkansas, I reckon I am. However, I wonder if the "good people" on Martha's Vinyard (wherever in the heck that exact spot on the Earth is I never knew exactly) Anyway ...
That fur looks soft , but if petting mountain lions is anything to go by - and I have - it's probably stiff as a scrub brush. Bobcats are closer to housecat softness, but a lot smaller. And however cute and fuzzy cats are, I do not think I'd want one that was higher than me on the food chain, whenever he got the notion.
House cats have been living with humans for about 10,000 years, and they're not yet fully domesticated. I would not want a Canadian lynx in my house, especially if I had small children.

Whatever you do, don’t rub his belly

ANIMAL CRUELTY shouts the morons at PETA.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY CAT I shout back at 'em!
Beautiful animal. Looks like he's been declawed.
Yawn. Don't care. I have a cat too. It doesn't shit all over the house though.

But it's a cute video moment.

ReplyDeleteEverything eventually goes to zero or reverts to the mean. Good luck with that one.
