Cafe would love giving her one of those famous nibbling massages she gives our siamese/bobcat! Our dogs are cat lovers as you know. Juan had a real
bobcat as a pet but it got stolen in BOLA....he's jonesin for another one.
the first picture I took of her looking to the right was when the vet's big german shepherd came around the corner...she sure sensed him there...he
was tied up but she was concerned.

Shari a couple of years ago I read of a for pay group in Arizona that would take clients out on mountain lion hunts, not to kill but to photograph.
This man joined one of the trips and wrote about cornering a girl cat and how the animal made one leap along the cliff face, swatted three dog's off
the cliff (they were only a nuisance to her, not a danger) to fall to their deaths several hundred feet below and was gone over the cliff ridge in one
leap.
He wrote of the majesty of these animals (this is from memory although I remember the book) and how an adult male 140 pound animal can bring down a
1000 pound Elk. They are immensely strong and will get on the prey's back, get it by the head and break it's neck.
The animals prefer to eat the heart of the prey first and the last human killed by lion in San Diego county was identified by the heart being eaten.
They will kill humans as we encroach and surround them and take the main food source, venison, from SoCal.
The book guy said you can take all of the bones and hard parts of an adult lion and pretty well fit them into a shoe-box. They are all sinew and
muscle and can leap 20 feet from a sitting position.
What majestic and amazing creatures they are.
If I happen upon a Bobcat in my travels I'm thinking it would find a home on a promontory next to the sea in BA. Whadda ya think?

Hey Shari, Great photos. If you guys do adopt, I'll volunteer to bring you down as much Costco bulk cat food as I can load up - just let me know how
much you want! But if you find a zoo in the US willing to adopt, we could try to smuggle her across the border like we did with little Pacifico.

The GN veterinarian referred me to another veterinarian who is the municipal PROFEPA representative regarding the housing of these gorgeous wild
creatures of Baja. The agency is interested in preventing the illegal trafficking of Mexico's wild animals.
I enquired regarding the osprey who has been rehabilitated and is being temporarily kept in Mulege. She will never fly again, and so can't be
released. It would be in her best interests to be transferred to a bird sanctuary, here or in the US.

Cisco,
I agree with you about the beauty and majesty of these big cats....just want to clarify cat is a cougar, not a bobcat.....

Sorry for the confusion.
I was referring to Juan's losing his bobcat in BOLA. The rest of my post was regarding mountain Lion, Puma, Cougar, Panther...and whatever else they
may be called in different parts.
Good hearing from you. Any more bikin Baja trips planned?
