one of the most interesting things, to me, about cats is they all move alike - whether a fluffy house cat, bobcat, leopard or what ever. It’s just that some have bigger bites and claws than others ;-)
“Caressing the tiger” sometimes said of living with house cats. Oddly, Cheetahs are the only big cat that purrs like a house kitty.
We have a part time house in Oro valley, yet to see a bobcat.
Maybe if I went out back and popped a can of Fancy Feast?
Exactly. The skeleton of a 7 lb. house cat and the skeleton of a 800 lb. Siberian Tiger are so similar that if you shrunk one down or enlarged the other, they would be nearly indistinguishable.
Or so I am told...:)
And they have a lot of similar behaviors. When you see a housecat catch an animal and, turning to look at you with the still twitching prey its jaws, you see in its eyes the wild, unhuman, pitiless, predator.
It is the same animal you may have stroked the chin of as you saw it walking down the street, but it is clearly tapping into a more primitive part of its brain.
I find cats fascinating.
