An adult captive bobcat weighing about 20-30 pounds, probably.
Enjoying a nap in the warm sun.
All cats seem to like that.
Shucks- people do also .
Back to my conversion efforts.
Color vs B&W

Colour for me Charlie. The critter does look quite friendly, so why not pet it?

Color.

Somewhat off topic but fascinating to crazy cat ladies like me:

Some captive (bottle-raised) bobcats grow up to be super friendly. Bobcats aren't as social as, say, lions or wolves but they're evidently a lot more social than people tend to give them credit for.

Take my friend George's 2-year-old Benji, for example. He's a lot of work and you have to know what you're doing - imagine having a hyperactive puppy that can kill you - but you can pet him all you want! Or, more accurately, he'll pet you.

I don't recommend keeping a pet bobcat, but some of my friends have made it work for them and the cat. (Many cats are returned to the breeder or re-homed when it dawns on the unprepared owners just what they've gotten themselves into.)

Thanks Don, Ken, Socrate, Scott, Marcelo, Christian and Morris.
Yeah, the color is my preference, but I was happy at how the conversion came out.
Don- There are historical reasons why Americans do many things different than the English. I know- the country is UK- but we never had problems with the Welsh, Scots or Irish. England is our close friend now, but it wasn't always so. But you know all that . I must correct you about your "Canadian" speech, though. Those Canucks who end sentences with "eh") always make it a question, i.e. "Americans can't even spell colour, eh?" .
Many domestic kitties will lie on their backs like this- but if you rub their bellies a bit too long, they might nip or scratch their loving owners. They ARE cats after all .
Christian- Isn't "Crazy cat ladies" slightly redundant? (I've been to a few major cat shows ).
Having a bobcat, or grizzly or lion, (even wolves) for "pets," is inherently extremely risky, regardless of whether a few people have made it work. Those few have been very good with animals, and have been very lucky. Most people who have exotic pets are just being show-offs, which is perhaps the dumbest of reasons. Even expert animal trainers are at risk, i.e. the White tiger act in Las Vegas a few years ago.
Of course, if it's legal, they are certainly within their rights. I just hope they don't have small children around.

Thanks Birdie, Geoff and Ted.
I've had cats and I've had dogs, and belly-scratching was always welcomed- although they would never scratch MY belly . Harumph!

Colour (that's the correct spelling this side of the pond) for me.

Thanks Paul, Kenny, Tim, Herb and Ron.
The more I look at the pics, the more I want to scratch (gently) M. Bobcat's belly fur.
After all the comments favoring the colour () version, I was pretty sure it was better.
But then Ron said he preferred it- and now I'm undecided again . (Your turn, Ron.)
