p.1 #1 · Bobcat Leaping Sequence

The female kitten put on quite a show for me recently. For at least 10 minutes she batted around a small rodent that she had killed. At one point she threw it into a bush and lost it for a few minutes. It may appear like she is just fooling around, but sharpening her reflexes and eye-paw coordination will help her become a better hunter.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to comment on my other bobcat thread.

Thanks everyone! I was amazed that I had caught the entire sequence, since it was very difficult to predict where she was going to jump next.

Barry, outstanding sequence! My semi-wild kitty does that with a mouse too. What a thrill to capture this in the wild!
