Bobcat saving his birthday dinner for later to play in bathtub

I have a 9 month old gray tabby kitten that does the same thing with her canned food. She'll eat what she wants, then try to cover the rest up. She'll keep scratching at/around it 'til I put it in a ziplock bag. Later, she'll paw at the bag until I open it up again. She's only six and a half pounds, but acts very much like her much bigger cousins.

[@BigBoybobcat2014]

How cute! When Big has finished eating he still covers his plate. Usually with paper towel I use to set plate down with. The other day I didn't use a paper towel and he got the dust pan and covered up his chicken bones when he was done😂

"These bobcats can take down prey 8 TIMES THEIR OWN WEIGHT" Bobcat: *plays in bathtub *

[@BigBoybobcat2014]

And I wish he was out in the wild doing that. He wouldn't be with me if original owner hadn't abused him. And had him neutered and declawed. Both of us would be much happier if he'd been left in the wild. With his momma. I didn't choose this life for Big Boy. He wasn't eligible for rehabilitation or release. It was me or be euthanized. I'm trying to make the best out of a bad situation. People get exotic and/or wild animals for the wrong reasons. Support your local shelter and adopt or volunteer. And always spay or neuter your domestic dogs and cats.

[@BigBoybobcat2014]

That video was on his 6th birthday. He's 7 now. I'm not a big person and I'm the only person he trusts. But I still never forget he's a wild animal. That only eats raw meat.....

[@lynnmartz8739]

Thank you so much for giving this kitty a home and taking such good loving care of him. He's probably much more expensive to feed than a regular domestic cat. And there are no vacations for you. But you have his company in return and that is good. Two of my cats bury their food until they're hungry. Neutered cats tend to put on weight, but unless they're grossly overweight it's not an issue; they don't have to be able to catch a meal or run from predators.

I had a kitten, in Hawaii, that turned into a 28#, 4' long cat with identical markings to your bobcat.
