Back in my hunting days I only saw one bobcat over a period of about 25 years; they are elusive. About 4 years ago my wife went to an art festival in a small town just south of Gainesville. She came home with a kitten that a man was trying to give away, and he said the mother was a feral cat. This cat is like no other 'domestic' cat that I have ever seen. He has the classic ear tufts, a beard and huge paws. Henry is 4 years old now and weights 15 lbs. all muscle. My wife picks him up from time to time and he gnaws and claws as we call it. If he is really mad he will growl just like a lion or tiger. No meow and no other sounds that we have heard. I really wonder if somewhere back in his linage there might be some bobcat? Vet said it is not unheard of for a feral cat and a bobcat to get together.
