This Bobcat Thinks He's The Tiger King of the hill. please read the video description.

A lot of people have the opinion when they watch this video for the first time that my bobcat is being aggressive and that he wants to kill my domestic cat, but if you watch it again there are some things to look for that show very clearly that he's not exhibiting any aggressive behaviors, and is not meaning any harm whatsoever, so I'll do a little break down of the video and what is really happening. also a bobcat has never killed an animal that it was raised with from birth. So at the beginning you see a short couple second chase which sounds loud, but only lasts a couple seconds and covers about 3 feet. lol Then they stop and my domestic sits down and gives a small warning growl. Nothing too crazy, but just telling my bobcat to stop it. and notice the body language of my bobcat here. after the growl from the domestic he turns his head, then backs up. then yawns. lol and then Lets out a small high pitched "whine" sound basically saying, "come on. I still want to play. why are we stopping?" because right before I turned the camera on they were playing and wrestling. my bobcat then retreats, turns around and comes back, very relaxed, with no signs of tension, he tests to see if my cat wants to play by stepping a little closer to him, and my domestic lets out another little warning growl, still nothing too crazy, but just telling him he's done playing. and again you see my bobcat in a submissive posture, looking down, trying to look seemingly disinterested, smelling the oven, and then in complete submission just laying down. Then my domestic calmly jumps up onto the counter, not to get away like some people are saying, but just to get onto the counter because that's one of his favorite places to lay. If he were scared he would literally run away, across the house and try to hide somewhere. But he's not afraid, and has nothing to run from. and then my bobcat of course follows. Not fast, but curious. and my domestic lets out another little growl saying "stop following me" lol. then Benji lets out another little whine, then sits, then yawn number two. When a bobcat is being aggressive or is mad or wants to kill an animal they do not yawn. haha. Still nothing aggressive on my bobcat's part. and he jumps up on the counter, and gets too close and knows to stop before he gets smacked by my cat. Then yawn number 3. Then looks at me with that shit eating grin. and eyes almost closed because he is dead tired. Then you hear some sounds from my bobcat which are whiney sounds, spoiled brat sounds because he's not getting his way, and even though he is so tired, he still just wants to play. and then more sounds, that if people aren't familiar with can be misinterpreted as aggressive sounds, but definitely are not. just being a brat and not getting my way sounds Then finally, so tired, trying to keep his eyes open just slides down to lay down. .realizing that he's way too tired to play anymore and if he keeps it up he's going to get smacked by my domestic. and of course then we have yawn number 4. and trying so hard just to keep his eyes open. and people are saying he's trying to kill my domestic cat. lol. seriously? I don't know what video people are watching but it's certainly not this video. and they are now laying next to each other, completely calm and this is where they fell asleep and slept for an hour or so after I got done filming. A domestic cat would not be sleeping next to an animal that it was afraid of and would not stay there if it felt it was in any kind of danger. Hope this helps explain

[@egroegartfart]

That's funny because Casey Neistat, Jesse Wellens, McJuggernuggets, and several others must have bobcats too because when they use certain cameras you can hear the same sound. Interesting isn't it? Anyway I use the Canon 70D. and that camera has been knocked out of my hands and thrown around by my bobcat. I've dropped it while skateboarding. but it still works. It doesn't matter what equipment you use, and if you watch any of those guys I mentioned they have made videos about that it's not the equipment you use. You don't have to have the best camera or set up, but it's about the content. and evidently over a million people came to this video and don't make jabs about something so unimportant about the video. Why not be positive instead of round about putting people down? That only makes you look bad. and like Casey, jesse and the other jesse and many youtubers have said, it doesn't matter what camera you are using whether it's a camera phone, a point and shoot or an expensive camera, it's all about the content, connecting to your viewers and making something interesting. I'd much rather film with a piece of shit and make a million views than waste all my money on an expensive camera and produce content that's shitty. Having a better attitude and not putting people down may help to get you more than 47 subscribers. Using broken cameras, and mid range cameras has done really well for my success on youtube on my channels over the years.

[@jackbarnes9728]

@@bluwng If raised from a young age together, 6-12 weeks, there's no more danger than having a big dog around. Animals form a resilient bond together, especially if really young. Of course there's always a story that's an outlier but if the animal isn't unusually aggressive there's little to worry about. Especially between 2 animals in the cat family. I have one and 2 house cats and when the house cats were 8 weeks old the bobcat actually treated them as a baby, cleaning them, licking their butt even and coming from a different part of the house when kitten started to meow loudly to see what was going on. The bobcat is a neutered male too.

James Kenway Cats also yawn to perceive the odors of the environment.

[@Miss_Maggie]

James Kenway Very true! Actually, even with my domesticated house cats, I’ve seen the yawn used 3 different ways... 1.) As you stated, the yawn can be used to show the cat is bored and is uninterested in fighting. 2.) One of my cats uses the yawn in the context stated above - as a TRICK to make the other cat THINK he’s disinterested. Then when my 2nd cat lets her guard down, he pounces on her in a sneaky but aggressive way to get the upper hand (kind of how we might interpret a “sucker punch” between humans). 3.) Then of course there’s the yawn that’s simply a yawn.

I agree he doesn't look mean or aggressive. But your cat does look stressed by the bobcat - who is a different breed & size and has a very different, more aggressive way of playing. That's the issue I have. Your cat doesn't like it and it's not just about the "spoiled" brat getting his way. All feelings need to be respected. Even fed up, stressed cats who don't want to play. They're both super cute btw.

[@egroegartfart]

Thanks Maria. But they are best friends. If you saw my other videos you would see that. If you have pets, they will have disagreements and get pissed at each other once in awhile.

Thanks for sharing. I'm not to familiar with keeping a pet Bobcat, but I'm very familiar with domestic cats. And your Tabby was very chill. He even loafed on the island which is one of the most non threatening/relaxed positions a cat could be in. I saw no danger here.

[@egroegartfart]

Thank you foxy. Yes. I'm not sure what it is. I think maybe most people are seeing his movements and hearing the sounds he makes and are just not used to any of that and just assume he wants to kill my domestic cat. I would not have them together if there was any danger or if my domestic cat was suffering at all mentally, emotionally or physically because of Benji. They were best friends. They slept next to each other, groomed each other all day long and played together. And they played very hard. Bobcats are rough when it comes to play but my domestic kept right up with him. But he tired out a lot faster. Just like in this video. I tried to turn the camera on while they were wrestling so I could show that but almost as soon as I turned it on of course my domestic had had enough playing. And then what you are seeing here is their daily ritual and aftermath after playing. Benji never wants to stop and wants to keep chasing and getting chased and wrestling but my domestic was pooped. So eventually he had to let Benji know he was done. And Benji never had any idea that my domestics were done playing until they smacked him on the head and hissed at him. Then he would immediately roll onto his back and submit or give up. He gave up here and then they laid down and took a nap for an hour and then continued right where they left off. My domestics were all alphas to Benji because they were older and we're there first and that's how bobcats see things. So they are subservient to them. When they put their first.......or paw I'm this case down. Lol. He would listen. It was an interesting pecking order. Kind of similar to what you see with wolves. He didn't know it but if he wanted to hurt or kill them he could have in an instant. But when bobcats are raised with any other animal they love them and do not hurt them. Or want to hurt them. He killed ground hogs, possums, raccoons. Tons of birds that got too close to his enclosure outside and he would have killed their neighbors huge dogs if they would have gotten too close. But that's only because he wasn't raised with them. They are very protective of their habitat and their family. His habitat just so happened to be my house and property. And his family was my animals and I. He was amazing. And I miss him every day. The most amazing thing to me which still amazes me today was my deer. We rescued the deer and him the same week. They were both 3 weeks old. The deer was not planned. But we took her in with the intentions of finding her a home after she was better and old enough and before he matured and saw her as prey as bobcats hunt deer in the wild regularly. But they followed each other around all day. They groomed each other. I don't know if you saw that in any of my videos. We always said he was tenderizing her for when he wanted to have her for dinner. Lol. Just no. Stop grooming. She would be soaking wet from his saliva from grooming her. Lol. But he just loves her and he protected her. If my domestic animals went up to her he would run and get in between her and them so they couldn't get close to her and then outside in the enclosure people from my town came to visit them every single day. To feed her carrots and talk to Benji and just watch them interact and play. And all my animals would be in that enclosure playing, chasing each other. Jumping in the pond and swimming and wrestling. My rottweiler. My deer, Benji, my boxer, and four domestic cats all out there just having a ball. And people loved watching them interact. I had a barrier so that people could not get closer than three feet away from the enclosure just for safety because bobcats are very dangerous. But if he thought someone was getting too close to Athena my deer,. He would sprint over just like he did with the domestics and stand in between her and the people protecting her. It was amazing. And the most amazing thing.....and this is the last thing I promise. Lol. Sorry this is so long. But the most amazing thing was bobcats are food aggressive. Every single one. Just because they are a wild predator. You can see him eating a chicken or rabbits or deer in my videos. Not my deer. Lol. But when he ate he growled the entire time. And if you got to close he would scream and snarl and even lunge at you. Eventhough two minutes before that he was on my lap purring and. Being lovable. Food just makes them very aggressive. So when I fed him I would put him out in the enclosure and lock the doggy door so none of the other animals could go out there with him while he was eating. Every animal except for Athena, my deer. And it happened by accident. Somehow the one day when I fed him I didn't see that she was already in the enclosure. So I actually locked her in the enclosure with Benji while he was eating a big chicken. I just happened to walk outside maybe ten minutes later to see how he was doing with his chicken. He wasn't growling. Just eating calmly and I saw her laying literally touching him right next to him as he was eating that bloody chicken with organs and feathers and blood all over the place. She's laying here licking Benji's back. I freaked out. But I realized almost immediately what was happening. Nothing was happening. He was just eating. And she was laying right there next to him. I almost made a huge mistake there by not making sure all the animals were out of the enclosure. I got very lucky. But from that day on she was always in there with him when he ate. It was just crazy. But anyway I just wrote a book here. Lol. Sorry about that. I'd love to make some more videos telling these little stories about Benji and my other animals. Not sure people would want to hear them but I have so many. He was just constantly doing something funny or crazy or just amazing. So I have a ton of these stories like this. Anyway thank you foxy. Hope you have a nice day.

[@egroegartfart]

Just a disclaimer. My domestic cat was in no danger here. Yes, benji sounds all mean and nasty, but when he gets too rough with the cats even though they are less than half his size all they have to do is swat him or bite him and he immediately submits. He is submissive to every animal here because they were here before him. Yes he does pick on them, but he wants to play, but his play gets a little out of hand after just a few minutes so they do not put up with him a lot of times. He could hurt them if he really wanted to, but he has never ever tried hurting any of them. I do keep a close eye on things though just in case. Thank you for all the kind and funny comments.

Stressful for the cat ?... The cat looks completely relaxed through the video. He looks like he is saying "go away, I'm too tired to play", and then trying to decide if the counter is a good place for a nap. Besides, if he felt stressed or threatened, he probably wouldn't stay on the counter lying down next to the "threat". Nothing is stopping him from leaving, running away, or going to hide somewhere. He probably stays there because he wants to. Or, knowing cats, more likely because he's just too lazy to move : the bobcat isn't bothering him enough to warrant expending energy by moving elsewhere.

Benji The Bobcat my degree is in Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology. My emphasis was on vertebrate behavior. Mostly the canine and mustelid families. Mink and Coyote here in Ohio. I did run into a few wild bobcats during my research assistant days at The Ohio State University. You don’t see them for long usually, maybe 5-10 seconds if you are lucky. Them and Badgers are in Ohio but rarely seen due to their nocturnal behaviors. Looks like your domestic is the dominant cat. She obviously wasn’t afraid to put Benji in his place. I have 5 domestics myself and have one cat that the others don’t mess with.

[@judinebrown6612]

During the enormous number of years I spent in the field of animal training and medical care and accumulating invaluable experience with a wide variety of critters, I saw many examples of unusual cross-species relationships in which one of the animals involved was disproportionately physically superior to the other. And/or in which one was wild and the other domestic. And/or in which one would have normally been classified as "prey" to the other. These relationships were friendly and even loving..... until they weren't. Every pairing of animals that would not under normal/natural biological conditions occur but which has been arranged by humans *always always always* places the lesser one at serious risk. I've personally been familiar with at least a dozen of such pairings that lasted peacefully for as long as five years (and one that lasted for over eight) - but terminated in one causing the death of the other. When these relationships do not result in death or serious injuries, *please* believe that is a rare situation - and I beg you to provide your animals with companions who are appropriate and safe for them and spare yourselves a potential tragedy! While we tend to view these uncommon relationships as being something of beauty and as being enjoyable to watch, the fact is that they are dangerous for the animals involved - and often to family members who may find it necessary to intervene in an attack. I wish I could adequately explain how traumatic these situations can be for everyone involved. Trust me, you do *not* want to see these things happen - especially to your own pets....

[@rebexxa]

Richie Rich Yawning can mean very very different things depending on the animal in question. Now if you’re talking about baboons or other monkeys, yawning and smiling are signs of aggression/showing dominance. If you’re talking about dogs, they may yawn to show stress or excitement, or to say to another dog, “chill out, i’m done playing.” When a parrot yawns, it simply means it’s tired. Now to the animal in question. When cats yawn, it could mean they’re tired, obviously, or it could mean that it’s very relaxed and comfortable. A cat would never ever yawn in a stressful situation. See how this differs from dogs? Yes, yawning means, “i’m tired,” but it can also mean many other things.

Judge Joe Brown LOL. It's kind of hard to explain, but in the wild bobcats accept their parents and siblings as their family. It's the same in captivity. They accept the humans and any other animal that they are raised with as their family. I never worried about him hurting any of the other animals. Now, if he would have come in contact with an animal that he wasn't raised with he would have attacked it with the intent to kill it because they don't accept animals they don't know. and a lot of times other humans as well, That's why the laws state that they can have no contact with anyone other than their owners or trainers. So we were very careful about that, like when people came over to visit he would go outside into his enclosure. Also he was well fed, a little too much sometimes, lol but Bobcats only kill when they are hungry or feel threatened.

Dogs are more likely to be risky than a bobcat. The neighbors had three big ones. One tore up the yougest real bad. Very aggressive to begin with. It has that aggressive growl and lunging at the fence when I'm outside and not there's a stranger growl or barking alert. Tried to calm it down and show no fear but feel it's dangerous and gave up but will do what I have to if attacked if it gets over the fence. Could be inbred and abused.

It seems like all members of the lynx family/genus make weird ass noises, including barking, whining etc. that you wouldn't expect from a cat.

Yes, I know that sound well wrist. Benji makes it and it scares the living daylights out of me because I'm not expecting it. I know exactly what you are talking about. Yes, all lynx can do that. I forget the exact number but bobcats have like 20 or 25 different vocalizations that they make. I said I was going to try to capture all of his sounds into one video awhile back and I still haven't done that. I think it would be an interesting video. Some of his sounds are just awesome. and some downright scary. there's a couple sounds that have woken us up from a dead sleep that you would think was a grizzly bear. A sound so deep and big coming from such a small animal. It's quite amazing.

[@catnipnbone]

egroegartfart I'd love to hear all of the sounds he can make! I wonder what my own domesticated cats would think of them. One of my cats comes running if I have video of kittens meowing but the other one could care less. I went to Kenya on a photographic safari and I still remember the sounds of the lions at night. We were staying at a tented camp and they had armed guards patrolling at night. It was a little scary to hear the lions so close but, it was also absolutely magical.

Just a tired kitty that doesnt know when to quit playing.

@@darrellknox6435 thanks Darrell. I'll keep that in mind. I guess it's just been luck then over the last 20 years of living with bobcats that none have ever gotten hungry enough to eat my domestic cats right? Lol.

Your “pet” bobcat is hunting your domestic cat. This is your fault! Shameful 😣

[@houstonmuhammad843]

I agree completely. This guy is some kind of passive pervert.

[@timothyofallon8246]

Obviously not. If the bib cat was hunting the domestic, the domestic would of been dead way in the beginning. Just play.

[@Joe-3.]

Timothy O'Fallon yeah.. but people think otherwise. the domestic cat would have fled the scene when the bobcat jumped up on the counter to join it, wich it did not. it’s just playful, or mean. no intention to kill.

[@dopeblacktherapist]

Did you read the description? The two cats were playing and do play together. Older domestic cat was done, but younger bobcat wanted to keep playing like a little annoying brother or sister.

[@rantle450]

Your filming this? How would you like to live in an abusive home with stress all the time? Bobcat needs to be sectioned off in another part of the house. I speak from experience regarding Bobcats.

[@claraalebrook3857]

Do you? Do you really? I find that hard to believe

[@leslie7872]

Did you read the description. These two cats are best friends. The domesticated cat just don't want to wrestle anymore

[@rantle450]

@Lil Leslie Thanks for alerting me to read the full description. I didn't even know it was there. I feel much better. I have half a bobcat and she is mean. I have her in a separate place in the house away from my other cats.

[@KassiusCalix]

@@rantle450 sounds like you dont know how to raise a halfway decent cat then lmao

[@KassiusCalix]

@@rantle450 also theres only two recorded instances of live birth from a cat and a bobcat. So you dont have a half-bobcat. Nice try mate.

[@elizabethyoung1633]

So fascinating! I have not seen an interaction like this or heard those particular sounds from a bobcat. Thank you for sharing this. How in the world did you decide to raise a bobcat?

[@egroegartfart]

Thank you so much Elizabeth. Bobcats actually have 26 vocalizations they can make. I tried for years to record the sounds but it's so difficult to do because you just never know when they are going to say something. I would always just miss a sound. These were just a couple of the sounds. But they are just amazing to hear. The have happy, sad,. Mean, scared, and immitating sounds. The mean or mad sounds are so scary it will make the hair on your body stand up. It's really funny. Campers each year call 911 on average 50 times each year reporting hearing a woman screaming. Saying it sounds like a woman is being murdered. Of course the police have to always respond to the call and investigate the calls. Alot of times it's at campgrounds where it's happened many times so the cops already know it's a bobcat doing it. But it sounds exactly like a woman screaming. It's the males that make that sound when there's a female in heat. I've heard it many times and it still makes the hair on my body stand up. I heard it the first time in the middle of the night several years ago with Benji my ex and I woke up immediately hearing this blood cuddling scream. I and it kept going as I walked through the house. Sounded like it was right outside my house in the back yard. And that was because it WAS in my back yard. Lol. So I found the culprit......Benji when I went outside. When I was fully expecting to see a murder scene out there. Lol. I also see that my neighbors were outside on their back deck looking over. So I apologized and then I quickly brought him back in the house. From that point on at night I made sure to lock the doggy door so that he couldn't go outside at night and wake up the entire neighborhood.2 other neighbors said they came outside when they heard it also. Luckily nobody called the police that night. Haha. But yah I always wished I could have gotten other sounds on tape. But it was just impossible to do.thsnks again and have a. Good day. :). I forgot to answer your question. I decided to start rescuing them after I had volunteered for two years at an exotic animal sanctuary. I just loved working with the bobcats so when one came up for rescuing I decided to do it.

[@EndertheDragon0922]

I never knew that much about bobcats, but wow they look a lot like domestic cats! Clearly they sound different though, haha.

[@planariahysteria]

ITS NOT WILD IF ITS TAMED AND LIVING IN YOUR HOUSE LMAO

[@XwolfbaneXx]

you can take the animal out of the wild but you cannot take the wild out of the animal. it's still a wild animal.

[@chickenstrangler3826]

It was raised in captivity but I know what you mean @feral jaw

[@RobLucci3]

There's a huge difference between tamed and domesticated.

[@CC-mm3bl]

Exactly. He's comparing apples and oranges. Cats and dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years. Bobcats and wolves? Very, very comparatively small amount of time, if at all.

[@happycrush159]

feral jaw But what about house cats and dogs? They used to be wild long ago but people now consider them domesticated

[@taffypulller]

“Why are you being mean to everybody” because it belongs in the wild or in a cat sanctuary.

[@thesoccertrotter1]

That poor domestic cat has to have that thing around ready to pounce at any moment

[@chochamsprime]

@YourNatureBoy27 but u dont know that and its a wild animal... Wat so hard to understand?

[@egroegartfart]

@YourNatureBoy27 Well said, Thank you nature boy. and you are absolutely right.

[@egroegartfart]

Oh, I just love the people who watch one video from a channel and think they know everything about a situation. Guess what? This is a sanctuary. and if I were to put him in the wild I would be arrested and face a five year prison sentence, since as a rescue facility taking in injured or sick animals that can no longer be in the wild has the responsibility of caring for that animal for the duration of that animal's life. But you would know that if you watched more than one video. and you wouldn't have made a stupid comment like that.

[@egroegartfart]

@@chochamsprime Actually he does know that and he's exactly right.

[@--Paws--]

Serval kittens sounds like a small drill, bobcats sound like an upside-down bowl being scraped across a wet table.
