Bobcat v Kitty

[David Metsky]

A friend on another website posted these pictures of a bobcat that showed up outside his window, and seemed interested in his housecat. The two seemed playful, not antagonistic, and investigated each other (through glass) for 15 minutes or so before both wandering off.

The bobcat must have been a juvenille, who hasn't yet been told that housecats are good eatin'. This is in the southwest US. And yes, they occasionally interbreed.

Fantastic shots Dave, thanks for sharing. Kitty doesn't appear to be too alarmed by the situation.

Amazing! I Love it!

HA! My cat would have been jumping around and chattering his teeth, ready to strike. These are awesome pictures.

Great pictures- never knew that house cats and bobcats mate! Maybe the owner should have opened the window

Wow!!!

And to think, my house-bound kitties are thrilled to encounter large moths!

I've seen that same look on my cat ... just before dinner.

Nice shots but if I were the feline inside I wouldn't assume the body language was entirely amorous.

My cat's afraid of ants!

Points out every moth that enters the house, though.

Very cool pics. Perfect timing. I was admiring th emotif and thought, wow, they really did their patio up in a Southwest style. Then I read your post (instead of going just to the link) and got a chuckle out of it.
