That’s crazy. How strong do you think a bobcat is?

[EEGator]

He is either very brave or very stupid...

[wildbill]

How strong? I have no way of knowing but judging from the Ocelot, I’d say they were pretty strong.

I was amazed at the strength in the legs of the ocelot. They look soft with all the pretty fur, but they are pure iron under the skin.

[EEGator]

I’m surprised they’re that strong for just 30lbs. Humans are really weak as far as animals go. I guess that’s how we got the brains.

That Cat seemed to careless about the Humans, looked to me he wanted the high vantage point of the Auto to scout pray.

[rintense]

Awesome. Cheetahs are my favorite.

She was one smart cat- took the high position to scout for prey. She wasn’t at all interested in the people or cars.

[rintense]

We have at least one freeper with a bobcat as a pet. Can’t remember who it is, though. She posts pics all the time.

[EEGator]

I thought cheetahs were supposed to be timid...I guess not.
I think you’re right. I was surprised how thin they are.

[EEGator]

She’s braver than I am. Bobcats can get pretty large I believe.

[wildbill]

Think about this: A running cheetah’s average stride length on each jump is about 25 feet.

Bob Beamon’s Olympic world record, almost super-human, long jump in the thin air of Mexico City was about 29 feet.

But a cheetah matches that every jump, every day of its life in order to eat.

[EEGator]

Can they do gene splicing yet? I want some cheetah genes...

[wildbill]

yeah, but what would you do with them?

Sure, it would be cool when the wife says, “Honey, I need some milk, would you run down to the store.”

But you’d probably be bouncing off the walls indoors with all that engine under the hood.

[EEGator]

I could win the 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 110m hurdles, 440m hurdles, long jump, high jump, and decathlon, in the same Olympics. Then I could buy this:

I have always wondered if some civilization didn't breed them for pets before vanishing. The cats then went wild but something in them keeps bringing them back to hang around humans.

I think your idea has merit.

[ican'tbelieveit]

Saw a cheetah purring on some show once, drooling and all.

[Daffynition]

She was just wanting the warmth of the engine...and was wondering if some good eats would be coming outta the *oven. :)

[TheOldLady]

Thank you for the ping. What a beautiful animal she is.

Her behavior must have been learned, and she knows that no one will move if she sits on a Jeep. That’s very interesting.

[Slings and Arrows]

You’re welcome, and interesting point.
