Family trying to save potty-trained pet bobcat's life

Kentucky Fish & Wildlife seized a Grant County family's pet bobcat in February. The family, and a district judge, are trying to ensure the bobcat finds a home and will not be euthanized.

    Euthenized if not placed in an appropriate home? He was in an appropriate home. What the hell. They did everything to assure the safety for the public, and the did everything to assure the safety and wellbeing for their cat. That is not fair. I say boo to the neighbor that stuck their nose into other people business. This may cost the life of a beautiful, happy, and loving cat. Boo to you neighbor!

    I had a cat whose only "crime" was being born on my back porch. If NY state had figured out what she was they would have confiscated my cat, euthanized her, then charged me with a crime of having an "illegal F1 feral" be born on my porch. She was the most affectionate mewling puking fluffball I ever had the honor of living with, even if she could be a bit of a "pet me now" pest.

    The bobcat can be sent to a sanctuary. It can never be released in the wild, since it was raised by humans and did not learn hunting skills from its mother. But there are sanctuaries which give them a home in a large, natural setting for life.

    I did not learn the part of pet history when all pets started out domesticated. As for this bobcat, he was created from domesticated bobcats. Since he's legal in the state he came from, most likely a long line of domestication, if he's from a breeder. Therefore they can argue the bobcat is as wild as a cat bred from a wild cat bloodline. The bobcat is domesticated.

    I rescued a bobcat kitten once. I was 15 and I found him all alone, his mother had been killed by a coyote and I felt obligated to take him in. My dad was worried initially but we started feeding him and just sort of learned along the way. My one female cat had been fixed but she raised a litter of kittens once and decided to raise him too. I called him Rob, we learned his feeding requirements and he was never hungry. My female cat Maz raised him right. Vet never complained about him and he was my constant companion till about 6 years ago. Rob was slowing down and getting old, he knew it and so did I. I had taken to giving him stuff for his joints and stuff for his aches and pains. The night he died we were discussing what to do when he just walked into the room curled up beside me and just slowly and quietly passed on. He saved us the pain of putting him down by doing it himself after nearly 20 years as a loved pet. Rob passed his lessons on how to cat to a pair of male kittens I adopted when he was 13 or 14. I still walk the woods hoping to find another one like my pal Rob Zombie the bobcat.

    @@QUINTUSMAXIMUS I used to have a cat that looked a lot like a bobcat. Little stubby tail , and the coloring was close. In the winter when she got her winter coat she had the cheek fur like a bobcat. And not a bobcat characteristic, she had polydactylism (extra toes). Beautiful sweet cat. She disappeared for a year and reappeared. She must have had kittens in that year and a dog must have gotten them because when she came back, she didn't like dogs near her kittens. I lost her when she snuck out when she was due to have kittens. Could not find her at all. Three weeks later my neighbor called to tell me she attacked their dog. He told me her kittens were playing on the lumber in their back yard and his daughter set their dog on them. Mama cat went after the dog and the lady got bit when she tried to stop them from fighting. Even though my cat was vaccinated the dog catcher took her and she was put down. At least I got the kittens so they could be bottle fed. They were too young to lose their mom. Had to go to court about it. Dog catcher said I violated the leash law. The judge got mad at him because he was stupid and thought leash law applied to cats. Dropped the case. I knew a lady that had a bobcat regular cat hybrid. He was the result of a bobcat mating with her cat. He was big with a stubby tail and he was quite the Romeo with the local female cats. Lots of stubby tailed kittens. He ended up saving the old lady's life when a man tried to invade her home. He broke out the window in her door and was reaching for the lock when the cat shredded his arm. Later he came back when she wasn't home and broke a window and threw in poisoned meat. Poor cat. PS. Almost forgot. The first time the guy tried breaking in, he dropped the Bowie knife he was carrying.

    There are so many strange inhumane laws in US. When I was in Florida, I found a baby opossum in a dead mother body. I started nursing him, but I have found in the law of Florida, people cannot keep opossum as a pet, but people can kill opossum legally. What a inhumane law! Unfortunately, the baby opossum could not survive, but I had a dream to live with him.

And leave the matter at that. The state government should be focusing on other important issues like solving homelessness and getting criminals off the streets.
