Bobcats are not house pets, however if the cat distrbuition insists✨

My mother when she was young in the 50’s had a bobcat she raised. It was with her from the time she woke and came home from school. Never hurt anyone and was a big baby. 😸😊

I had a pet bobcat for nine, almost ten years. I rescued him from a concrete culvert at the start of a hurricane in Beaumont, Texas as the culvert was rapidly filling with water. I was about nine and his eyes were still not open yet. He never hurt our toy poodle, our domestic animals or any human. He was very social and loved meeting new people in our home. He had the run of our small acreage and didn't even try getting into the chicken coop. We had a toy poodle at the time and he was most deferential to her. She dominated him thoroughly. Great memories of walking "Cattycake" (baby brother named him) on a leash and people asking to pet him, in awe and amazement at how much he loved the attention. Probably not legal nor a good choice of a pet for most people (liability issues maybe?), but I treasure the experience and the memories, even after almost sixty years.

Oh my, when in the car in your arms he raised his eyes to look up at you and that look melted my heart. You were so lucky…finding…this baby.

Как мило рысенок прижался к человеку.Животинки за добро всегда отвечают большой любовью❤❤❤

I know they say you shouldn’t but I also would be unable to leave a baby kitten like that by himself. Thank you for saving him.

The love and relief in this kitty's face. Clearly lost his mum bless him. Wild or not, any baby is gonna appreciate a home, safety and kindness.

So precious. That baby needed love and nourishment ❤️

When I was an infant, my mum left me on the front lawn in a pram for a minute while she ran in to grab the phone (70s, Eastern Canada). She came to find a tabby cat curled up with me. She put up posters, etc. No responses, so she kept him. He just kept... growing... She had assumed he was an adult, but he was a kitten. He developed a few spots, tufts on his ears and very big feet with serious tufts between his toes. She took him to a vet, who said he was almost certainly half-bobcat, half-domestic-tabby. She decided to keep him, but gave him free access to the outside. He was not friendly to strangers, but he loved my family, and he adored me. I could pick him up, rub his tummy, etc. He slept with me every night until he died when I (and he) were 18yo. He was my first real experience of love. 30y later I still remember him. Thank you, Tufty.

My mom had a friend who had a bobcat, and he was known as Bobby Buttons, as he got into her friend's mom's sewing kit and was happily playing with a box of buttons. He lived to be about 23 years old, and was oddly enough, the protector of the chickens. He ran off coyotes on a regulat basis, and loved to climb under the covers at night to cuddle and sleep. Loved playing fetch with a tennis ball as well...acted like a cross between a dog and a cat. Incredible cats...❤

That look the Bobcat gave to the rescuer was the pivotal moment of trust & bond!!!

He grew up beautiful. 🙏🏼♥️

So glad he found you. Such a beautiful creature he has grown to be. Bless him and you. ❤❤ frm Malaysia

The way he looks up at his rescuer. My heart melted

I rescued a baby field mouse then raised him and took care of him until he sadly passed 9 years later. Yes that’s right, 9 years. “Whiskers” knew his name and would come out of the little cabin I had for him when I’d call him. He behaved just like a little dog almost and would even let me rub his tiny ears. All that to say, every life is precious no matter how small. ❤

Oh, he is do handsome 😘🥰😍 he’s beautiful!👍🙏 thank you for saving him and lovingly care for him🙏🙏🙏

OMG, such sweet love. Thank God you came along. He's beautiful.

The way that baby cuddled you on sight is so beautiful and a testament to your true nature. He trusted you and knew you’d love him and take care of him. Aw, what a little sweetie 🥰

Right from the start he was not scared or aggressive. He looked happy and at home. He grew to be a majestic animal. You did well as he most probably would not have survived on his own. 💞💞💞💞

Wow....the sheer beauty that cat grew into❤❤❤❤❤....Loads of Love and Blessings 😘😘😘

Dear precious little soul. I'm so happy u helped this baby. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

He grew into a majestic creature. Thank you for finding love for him.

That little baby is so grateful to have somebody find it you could see it in his eyes and the way it hugs you.

The way he looks at you just melts my ❤️. I used to have a bobcat when I was younger and he was the sweetest animal I have ever owned. I rescued him from being in the street as well. The love! You can tell that he picked you as his new mommy when he cried for you. Thank you for saving this precious baby! ❤❤❤❤

From a "kitten" to a big cat. Stunning❣

To you precious people who gave this little one a chance at life, you're very kind. Your video touched my heart. The holding you on the rescue ride shows such relief on that little face. This sweetheart grew up to be beautiful 💎 💖 🙏

I could never leave him also. Instant luv!!❤❤❤❤

Awwww. He’s snuggled right up in your arms. That look of” I’m gonna be ok now”. I would do the same thing for it. Precious baby and precious new parents. May you all live long lives together in happiness!!!😊

Awhhh the love in the eyes, the comfy snuggle position, and the outstretched paw with the claws hooked into the shirt so that the snuggle is extra secure completely shows that the sweet baby not only desperately needed that love but they wanted it and to reciprocate it as well .

I think anything in the cat family is ,astoundingly BEAUTIFUL!!!🥰😍

❤Baby full of cuddles and Sweetness. Absolutely Gorgeous as it Grows. ❤

Precious baby. So beautiful.

When it shows the kitten full grown it took my breath away. 😻😻😻

Absolutely amazing. He lost his mom, but found his family.

Thank you for taking him home. He's so sweet.

He is so beautiful please love him everyday 😊❤

My heart melted when I saw him sleeping - I recently lost a cat that could be a double but quite a bit sneaker. He’s a beautiful well cared for animal that is endangered. Thank you to all those in animal care and rescue. Sometimes you have a day so hard that think you that you just can’t let another one in. But there they are giving us the unconditional love that we all NEED and DESERVE!!!!! Forever a (wild) cat lady.

You can see the contentment, trust, gratefulness and almost love already in this sweet bobcat kitten. How could you not save this beautiful baby....he/she was smart enough to seek help. Poor mom probably passed away. Thank you for saving this beautiful baby ❤

🔥🐾♥️🐾🔥God Bless U all for saving this Bobcat.

Love is the only thing that allows us to understand each other across species. Thank you for your help. It was a very valuable experience. I'm jealous.

Thank you, on behalf of all orphaned animals! So glad he or she is with you!❤

The look of love in his eyes ❤ normally i would say he belongs in a rescue to go back ro the wild, but i feel like you were meant to find him, and ge was meant to be happy with you 😊

Какая красота выросла из этого маленького котеночка рыси. Благодарность людям,проявляющим доброту к зверушкам,попавшим в беду!!!❤🎉

Gracias por rescatarlo y cuidarlo❤

I love how relaxed he is when you first got him. You can almost hear his sigh of relief.

The look in those eyes when s/he looked up @ you🥺💜🫠 Thank u for rescuing this baby & giving a loving, safe home. Bless your 💜

WHAT A BEAUTY !!! TAKE GREAT CARE OF IT, PLEASE !!! 🙏🙏🙏

That’s so amazing!!! What a gorgeous bobcat!!!! Thank you for taking care of that list little kitten when you found him/her…so many would have left him to fate. Thank you ❤

Just started ballingmy eyes out seeing him in the car, rescued, looking into your eyes with admiration and thankfulness, with his little face and paws hugging you.

She's absolutely gorgeous! Bless your soul for saving this beautiful cat!

Dios Bendiga a estos Sres. Por ❤!😊

That's a fortunate gift from mother nature ❤

You just made a old man drop tears. This just hits me differently.

My buddy rescued a bobcat kitten. It lived a spoiled life and then one day. It left... broke my bro's heart... he's 240lbs of ranch muscle. He still gets tears telling the story. Love is a powerful force... and it lingers...

Aw... such a cute little cub!

Awww, so sweet and innocent eyes ❤❤❤

When you get them as kittys like he was they can be domesticated under the right circumstances and the right parents. This looks like it worked out great. I knew a family with a bobcat and he never tried to ever harm us. This was 30 plus yrs ago when i was a preteen. And judging by the comments its been done many times successfully before too! Thanks for saving and loving him bc he wouldnt have made it alone that young out there. ❤

Thank you for taking him in loving him.He grew up with love and grew into a gorgeous Bobcat.God bless you and him.❤

So adorable they are!! I wish I was in their shoes, wow! It is a magnificent creature indeed!!😍❤️❤️❤️

Soo cute looking at his mom adorably.

He made himself at home in your arms. How precious! 💛🧡❤🥰

How absolutely precious!!! Such a gorgeous animal! The babies' face says it's home, it's happy and it's safe! It wasn't even scared... because it needed you and sensed your goodness! What a gift, to you both! I love animal lovers! You are amazing! ❤😢😊

Divina criatura, qué bellos ojos!😻😽❤️

So sweet. Animals are so pure

Ohmygosh. That animal is gorgeous. As he lay in your arms looking so deeply in your eyes and blinked i knew then it was a relationship of mutual trust. What an amazing gift for the both of you

This baby is clearly loved and looks so happy and content. I’m so glad you took it in. ❤

We raised a full blooded Timber wolf. Everyone said we would be sorry, but she was the Best furbaby for. Almost 15 yrs. She thought our 2 grandkids were hers. Very protective. Ig i weren't 74 yrs old i would have another. Miss my Wolfy❤

The way he looks up at her at first when he opens his eyes while she holds him on her lap....omg😢❤❤❤❤❤❤. "I sure luv you mama"....
