Cats Impersonating Bobcats

[donnae]

donnae - Although the Lone Star tick is the primary vector for the protozoan which causes Feline Cytauxzoonosis, there's a recent U. of Illinois Vet School study which showed the American Dog Tick as a strong secondary vector, and there are several open studies (Missouri Vet and U. C. Davis) which suggest that the Black Legged Deer Tick might likewise be a vector - in addition to their reputation with Lyme Disease.

We have the black legged deer ticks here in NY? Pretty sure that's what bit myself and my son. Hershey has gotten bit by brown deer ticks too.

yes 1CatOverTheLine that is definitely calendar worthy! We should have a calendar picture contest some month!

donnae - All you have to do is make the rules and start the thread. I'll donate the prize, as long as no one minds the prize having blue eyes and four white feet!

We do. I haven't seen them in Niagara County (and I'm in the woods out back most days), but there's a USDA map online for NY here:

Let me give you something to go by.

Once I saw your picture this picture of her just popped in my head.

Thanks, she loves that chair, I think her onesie made the picture sweeter. (And funny for a bobcat comparison)

Less cute than Korin, and more bobcat like...

As a lynx point with lynx tips, Hex is always impersonating a lynx! Here are some of his most lynx-like photos, one from all the way back when he was a baby. That's not me holding him that way, so don't look at me lol.

This is his most lynx-like photo imo. Just look at that big head!

Here's him chilling in a box, but even in such a domesticated scene, you can still see the lynxishness here.

And here's baby Hex. Again, it wasn't me holding him in this pic. But even here, he looked like a baby lynx. I had no idea what a majestic creature he'd grow into, though.

Edit: I could have sworn the title of this thread was, "Cats Impersonating Blob-cats." Oh well, his name is Bob at least.

1CatOverTheLine told me to include Raistlin here, so I must obey

It’s cute, but it is a baby onesie. It was when she was spayed.
