I know what you mean. Bubba can barely see 25 lbs in the rear view mirror. He's not fat, either. I haven't seen any bobcats where I am. I'd love to see one. >>> http://www.lvrj.com/news/11006641.html >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > I haven't seen any bobcats where I am. I'd love to see one. I haven't seen any bobcats here (I think it's too hot a climate for them here in south Texas), but I have seen cougars not far from where I live (and once a coyote just two streets over). As fast as we're encroaching on their territory, we're going to see more and more of that. I just saw a fawn dead on the side of the road a few weeks ago - their former home, woodlands a half mile from my house, has been turned into a denuded, treeless subdivision of cookie-cutter housing! :< Hugs, CatNipped >>>> http://www.lvrj.com/news/11006641.html >>> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >half mile from my house, has been turned into a denuded, treeless >subdivision of cookie-cutter housing! :< It can get pretty warm here in Las Vegas. :^) I've seen cougar tracks, but never an actual cat. A couple of years ago there was a video on the nightly news of a cougar strolling down the street in the middle of suburbia in the middle of the afternoon like she/he owned it... There are periodic warnings to not tie dogs out in the yard or leave small children unattended. I've seen coyotes in packs within a few miles of the Strip. There are Bighorn Sheep in the area, but they stay far away from town. That article talks about a bobcat violating the Las Vegas Prime Directive (Don't Bother The Visitors) in a casino-hotel parking lot. Anyway, anywhere you might be there are more people and less room for wild critters. Those that adapt will survive. Years ago I had a Florida panther the same thing as a cougar it was standing on it hind legs half perched in our bay window staring down at all of our cats who were inside letting it know hey you this our turf each on was fuzzed up and growling at it. The panther had a look like what is making all that noise not these little things. I see them occasionally at night near our house. Hear them some times to during season. Now bobcats we hear all the time when they cry it sounds like a kitten or a baby >>>>> http://www.lvrj.com/news/11006641.html >>>> [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > Anyway, anywhere you might be there are more people and > less room for wild critters.

They whole family of Felids may differ in size, pattern, etc. but they all come equipped with the same items, sharp teeth, claws and depth perception and they aren't afraid to use them. .. >It can get pretty warm here in Las Vegas. :^) > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >Anyway, anywhere you might be there are more people and >less room for wild critters. Those that adapt will survive. There are points beyond which they cannot adapt. Time for less humans I think. >.. >>It can get pretty warm here in Las Vegas. :^) [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >There are points beyond which they cannot adapt. Time for less humans >I think. You first...
