Those last 2 of Nakoma certainly show how he has been thriving in your care!

Yeah just a cold, but on my first day of vacation

Hmmm, I have to ask him. Maybe he is trying to find Radio Moscow

He is such a good boy. I am so happy that he is here with us. He deserves nothing but the best

I was thinking the exact same thing!!
John, I wish all big cats could have as good a home as you provide for your three. They all look so happy and well-cared for! Have you written any articles or, even, a book on caring for bobcats? If not, you should.

Just want to add my 2 cents in - we DO NOT get tired of seeing pictures just so you know.

Golly they are beautiful animals. I'd give anything to trade places with Terri in that one picture.

They are awesome as always, John, and it's so good to see Nakoma looking so at ease. He's a handsome fellow!

Sorry you're under the weather. Bummer when that happens on your vacation, isn't it? Hope you're feeling 100% soon.

Those last two pictures of Nakoma, that is obviously a seriously stressed out bobcat (not!)
. I wish I could be so relaxed!

Wow, what beautiful animals. I never knew it was possible to keep bobcats as pets, but you seem like a great owner, and the cats look very happy to have you.

Actually yes, I have. Not so much as an article on how to care for bobcats, but on how I became interested in owning them. A "how it all began" type of article. It was posted in the FCF (Feline Conservation Federation) bi monthly news letter and on an exotic cat website. I will be writing an article on bobcat care soon. I have also been selected as part of the cat element representitive, for a new exotic animal orginization that is forming. This is going to be a lot of work, but should be a great learning experience as well.

What even makes this even more special is that Amber normally doesn't let you cuddle this close. Boris will however. Not saying that Amber doesn't love, she just likes to have her own space more.

Well, at least I am getting my rest
Last night I had 9 hours of sleep and it felt so good. I am feeling much better today

I wish I could give him a kiss in that picture, but that would be pushing it just a bit. He is really coming around however. I can sit next to him and feed him by hand. I tell him every day that he is such a good boy and that he will always be loved now.

I am happy that you enjoyed Liz. By the way, are you on the east side of Cleveland or the west. We are in Geauga County, you know, that place you always here about in the winter with all the lake effect snow

Yes, they are. Amber is losing her orange coat and Boris is almost all brown already. Nakoma is still orange, but you can see his longer belly hair coming in and also the white tipping on all their coats is starting to show. Their tails are getting fuller now too. It's funny, during the mid summer, their tails are so skinny, they almost look sick. But come fall and winter, the tails get nice and full, more than double the thickness of the summer.

Hello, I'm someone new


I'm a sweet girl named Carmella and only 13 weeks old.

I love to play...

Look out windows...

Have LOTS of spots, for the moment anyway, and have a long tail.

Who or what am I? Oh yeah, I love my new mommy and daddy very much
