You're welcome I haven't weighed her in a awhile, but when we first got her she was about 15 pounds. She will reach her mature weight in 2-3 years. She responds when I call her using bobcat sounds. She comes running, jumps on my back and puts her rear end on my head
Arielrain, how are you? Haven't heard from you in a while.

I LOVE Natasha!

Carmelo has turned into such a BIG boy!

They are beautiful as always John!

Natasha is such a cutie. I have a feeling she is going to be big trouble when she gets older. Not that she is a bobcat, because I have been spoiling her rotten
Yes, Carmelo is a big boy. When he stands up on his rear legs, his head reaches my chin and I am 6'3" tall

And in your face They make all types of sounds, but they do not meow. The most frequent sound is a type of barking, that sounds like a smaller sized dog, but not one of those yappy sounding dogs. They also make these deep throaty grunting sounds. Both the bark and grunt are friendly greetings. They purr loudly and growl a lot, but the growl isn't always a "I am mad" sound. They growl at each other when playing. However, when they let out the scream that makes your hair stand on end, you walk away and leave them be And as big as Carmelo is, he still lets out his bird like chirps

That comment just gave me goosebumps!

Not to in any way try to compare my boys to your crew. Takoda will start
puffing his breath out his nose and that's when I know he needs alone time.

The first time I was screamed at, I was like Oh my God!! But, that is their way of just telling you they do not want to be bothered at the moment or they will do the same thing when they have a toy that they don't want anyone else to have. And oh boy, if they are eating
That's cool how Takoda does that. Bobs do that a lot, especially Amber

Beautiful pics as always, John. Natasha is lovely.

Carmelo just melts my heart.

Oh those close up pictures are gorgeous!!

I should have a new computer soon, so I will be able to post more pics. Natasha is such a brat though I can tell she was an only cat at her previous home. Anytime we even try to pay attention to any of the other cats, she comes running over and makes sure she puts herself in front of you. It's all about Natasha, me me me

Sure is, especially when she wakes us up at 2:30-3:00 AM and we both have to get up at 4:00 AM for work Of course, you can't be upset, not with all that purring going on Reminds me of when Carmelo was still living in the house with us. He would wake us up around the same time, because he had to use the litter box to go pee. He wouldn't go down stairs on his own, we had to get up and walk with him to the box

Speaking of litter boxes it never dawned on me how big yours would have to be!!! How much litter goes into one box?

I don't use regular litter boxes either. I use these large plastic tubs used to mix concrete in I have 4 of these tubs. I use Yesterdays News litter and when I empty and clean the boxes, I use a whole bag to fill 2 boxes. The bobcats also like to go outside and go there, so that saves me on some litter. They like to poo in the gravel that is in the enclosure. So, I clean the boxes inside and also scoop outside in the enclosure.

She is gorgeous As well as Carmelo
