Cougars and Bobcats attacking people all the time? Well, that is not really true at all. Most people will never see a cougar or a bobcat in the wild. A cougar is sometimes called the Ghost cat, because they are very elusive in the wild, same with the bobcat. Yes, cougar attacks have been known to happen, with people getting killed, but these are very few and far between. In fact, from the years 1890 to present, there have been 22 reported deaths by cougars. Now, between 1900-2000, there have been over 4,000 cougars killed by humans. I do not have the exact number of bobcat attacks on humans, but I would assume that number is even lower, but I know the number of bobcats killed by humans is well into the thousands. In fact, from 1996 to 2003, more than 18,000 bobcats have been killed by us humans. Can not find any statistics on humans killed by bobcats at the moment. This information was found in the books, Listening to Cougar Marc Bekoff and Cara Blessley Lowe, Editors, Foreward by Jane Goodall and Bobcat Master of Survival by Kevin Hansen
More Amber pictures? Of course I doOriginally Posted by Graciecat
I'm so glad to hear that Carmelo is feeling better and back to his "smarty pants" ways.
Speaking of new pictures, I hope you have some new Amber ones for me.
No, we never really did figure out what was wrong. May have been something with his food, but we feel it was just one of those 24-48 hour viruses. None of the others got sick, so that is why we ruled out his food being the problem.
Aw, at least it passed. Gosh, we humans have been getting those 24 hour bugs lately too because of the cold season, I wonder if cats get the same thing.Originally Posted by AmberThe Bobcat

Oh I hear you there, that's why my husband insisted on high speed DSL.Originally Posted by AmberThe Bobcat
Anyone live close by who has high speed internet that I can useI get so tired of dial up
I can't even get that, DSL is not available where I liveOriginally Posted by StacyD1987

No DSL? Yikes, that sucks. Your area's not planning on upgrading a bit anytime soon are they? With this day in age, it's almost a necessity with file attachments and such in emails. But yeah, I wouldn't resort to satellite. If it's as bad as my grandma's satellite dish with weather and solar flares, why bother even getting it, lol! I hope you find a friend with DSL soon!Originally Posted by AmberThe Bobcat
I can't even get that, DSL is not available where I live. The only high speed I can get right now is by satellite, but that is much to costly. You have to buy the modem, which is several hundred dollars, and the per month charge is quite high as well. So, I'm stuck with the drudgery of dial up, 28.8K at it's best
