Well, I spent a good 30 minutes browsing the amazing Exotics thread (beautiful!) and was totally shocked at the sight of the bobcats. We had always joked that my parent's little baby boy Porthos looked like a bobcat. I didn't realize how much until I saw Amber's pictures.
Is it....possible? I mean...the resemblance is way scarier than I thought!
Here are some comparison shots:
I didn't get permission from Amber to post pics of her babies but here is a random bobcat I found by google at a zoo. A REAL Bobcat:
I mean...I normally wouldn't entertain fanciful ideas like this because seriously he's a petite cat, I would think he would have been bigger. D: And I thought bobcat hybrids weren't possible....
But here are the similarities:
1) ticked and spotted coat (as opposed to typical tabby stripes or marbling)
2) darker markings ONLY on his legs & tail & face
3) tufted black ears
4) black tail tip
5) stocky build
6) high prey drive
Here are the differences:
1) small
2) long tail
3) short legs & long body
Haha, it's so silly but he really does look like a bobcat! Anyways, whether he is or not he's still my favorite of my Mom's kitties. What do you think?
