Lil bobcat on a log.
« on: January 04, 2011, 07:42:44 PM »
Thought this was a cool photo of a bob kitty, I was trying to get pictures of deer for archery season and ended up with this kitty and a few moose and a few nice bucks. Thought I would share  :)

Man those spots are amazing but something about the face just makes it look like a house cat.

Hard to be certain, but the face does look thin like a house cat and I don't see any tufts on its ears but who knows...

Must be one hell of a kitty then, My camera was set up 3.1 miles away from any roads and atleast 4 miles from any houses. I was thinking it is just a young one, i think if it was a house cat you would be able to see its foot long tail hanging behind it. But oh well still a cool photo.

I agree Devin.  I think it is most likely a young one.  Not 100% but I would guess bobcat kitten.

Now Dat's Funny!

Actually, 3-4 miles for a Ferrel cat to rome isn't all that far.  I think what's throwing us so much is the shape of the face. The markings are quite varied for kittens. Absense of tail 'in the photo' doesn't mean much since we don't have a broadside shot. It's a tough call with only the one photo. Could be... Might not be...
