Default Interesting Day at Work

This cute ltl guys is "Pisgah" the bobcat. His mom got hit the other day on the Parkway. Yesterday morning we found him laying in the middle of the road next to his mom's grease spot. He is very weak and we have sent him to a vet we know who does good work for us. As of this morning he is doing well so there is hope we can rehabilitate him and turn him loose back on his mountain. We spent the rest of the day scouring the mountain trying to find his den to see if he had any brothers or sisters but had no luck. Will keep looking but as weak as he was the chances are slim.

Even though it was a ltl sad it was so cool to get to hold a baby bobcat! His ltl face was so cute that I'm def in love! I hope the ltl guy makes it!

Neat! I have seen adult bobcat tracks while out in my Kayak but never seen one in the wild. To hold a baby would be cool. There is a guy on Supermoto junkie that has one as a pet. He has a special license and used to take care of big cats at a zoo or something. He posted some photos that were pretty cool of it just laying around the house.

How adorable! And how sad... to think he will be alone now. I hope you can find the den so he can be put back and hopefully get taken care of by someone/thing.

His mother was killed on the street. He wouldn't make it if left in the den. I doubt he has been weaned yet. Cute guy. I really hope he makes it.

I saw my first wild Bobcat just south of Nashville while out riding. I had know idea what it was and at first thought it was a coyote. It ran across the road and then just sat there watching me as I passed. Very cool looking animal
