Our EXOTIC furbabies part 2

Since all of the old pictures in the previous thread are gone, I started a new thread about my big cats that everyone has come to love. I have a lot of new pictures to post as well, but give me about a week and they will be here. Of course, we have the new kid on the block as well. He is 4 months old, a male bobcat and his full name is Aiyajoono (Cherokee name for Thunderfoot) We call him Aiya for short. (Pronounced Eye uh) He is a rescue. You can find the details of his story at the end of this thread as well as a whole discussion on keeping exotic cats as pets here.http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76630 The new pictures will now appear in this thread.
The most recent pictures can be seen here on the old thread, starting with post #1401 http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...76630&page=117 Any new pictures will be posted here from now on. Enjoy!!

Thunderfoot is a great name for a bobcat. I've had cats with smaller feet make as much noise.

Looking forward to the new pics!

I was going to post some new pics today, but my wife took the camera with her. Aiya is such a cutie and he loves people. He loves to cuddle with us in bed at night too. Everyone is getting along quite well now I believe I have now reached sanctuary status, since 4 of my 5 bobcats are all rescues. In fact, on the exotic cat forum that I am on, they started a fund for anyone who wishes to donate on paypal to support my rescues. If anyone is interested, the site is http://www.exoticcatz.com/forum/ There is a link at the top of the page to help support little Aiya. I should have pictures here in a few days. Sorry for the wait. I wanted to post some today, but do not have the camera. I have so many pictures, it will take me a ong time to post them all

Wow, they are getting along already? That is great news. As always, can't wait to see the pics

Amber is still being a little grouchy, but for the most part they are all getting along. They still act cautious around one another, but no arguing or fighting. It appears they are going to be one big happy bobcat family. Aurora, our queen pixie bob still hisses at her a lot, but that is how she acts with all the other cats in the home. After all, she is the queen

John!!!! Congrats on the new boy! OMG! I can't believe I missed this thread! I will be watching for pictures!

When I am not at work, I am with Carmelo. He is a big sweet boy. Once I get high speed set up at home, I will start posting videos for everyone to see as well. His big purrs will warm anyone's heart

Looking forward to pics of your crew!

Ok, here he is....sweet little Aiya, our new little boy . He seems as if he has grown already, since he came to us. He now weighs 13 pounds and eats like crazy.
This is the day when he was brought to us. You can see Aiya looks a little nervous, but later on you will see that he has made himself at home






But not so nervous, that he didn't want to eat

Here are more pics of Aiya



His first day out in the enclosure





Exploring the long walkway.

Running and jumping through an entrance to the second enclosure.

Even more
Relaxing next to me on the couch




Natasha and Aiya starting to play!! For some reason, Natasha looks much smaller in these photos.

Yep....even more!!


I Love looking at myself in the mirror

Sorry, these are a bit fuzzy, but still cute.


More playing.

Sleeping in the tub!! He pulls down that wash clothe to sleep on it lol.






That's it for now, I hope you enjoyed. Now on to posting pics of Amber, Boris, Natasha, Nakoma and Carmelo. Oh and who can forget the queen Aurora. I will have more pictures tomorrow!!

Oh dear god, the cuteness is deadly!!!

He is freaking adorable! I just want to kiss his little nose! He reminds me of my Google with they way he sleeps and curls his little toes!

Maybe I should have added a cuteness alert?? I find it so darn adorable, that he likes to sleep in the bath tub, but has to pull down that wash clothe first, so he can lay on it. (even though he has a nice new cat bed )

he is too freaking adorable!! the shots with his chin on his paws... oh, my heart. Just too cute!!

Too, too, too sweet and gorgeous!!

He is such a good boy too. Follows me around everywhere. He was having a great time playing with Natasha last night, they are going to be great together. I have pictures of the rest of the gang as well.

He looks so little - won't stay that way for long, though, will he?

Beyond adorable!

Such a little baby boy....with such great big paws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bathtub/wash cloth thing is just too sweet.

I'm so glad it looks like it's all going to work out.

BTW - is there a reason you haven't created a charitable org to help with all the expenses of caring for all these rescue babies?
