Melissa and Mick McAllister from Melissa, a small city 40 miles northeast of Dallas, got their first pet bobcat, Gypsy, in January.

Just two months later they adopted another, named Monaco.

If I won that Mega Millions, I’d be looking into an emotional support Honey Badger.

Training it to eat commies on sight would be VERY emotionally supportive, I should think.

That’s the most creative lottery winnings dream I’ve ever come across!

My heart is pulling me toward getting a pet raccoon...

Yes, definitely attention seeking and not only selfish or self-serving, but most often not caring about how others are affected by their attention seeking ways.

If you want an exotic cat, why not get a domesticated breed like a Savannah or a Bengal cat?

I’m going to correct the info in the article and say that some varieties of bobcats are far more than 2x a house cat, if they’re referring to body mass. One at our local zoo is easily 5 house cats.

Lol!

The only cats around here are mountain lions outside, so hopefully they would be safe from a pet raccoon...

Now isn't this an odd topic to show up out of nowhere?

Bobcats...

who sleep in their bed and even use the toilet

They'd better not argue if the bobcats leave the seat up.

All cats have sharp things on them, because God created them to grab and kill. So you take a chance with any cat in your house.

The bigger the cat, the larger the risk.

Your basic house cat can be a double handful in the right situation.

Yea, try giving my 18 year old, 10 pound scrawny cat a bath. There will be blood....LOL.
