    They are impressive, but I sure wouldn’t want our beagle in the yard when they are around. He’d be an appetizer. Bad enough with coyotes.

    Yes, you really have to watch out for pets around here too. We have had wolves, an odd cougar, foxes, black bears and of moose and deer in the city from time to time over the years.

    I used a device called a Scraminal to train my cats to stay off tables and countertops. It's a motion sensing alarm. Something like that quickly would train those larger cats to move on.

    I am impressed by the size of their paws. Real snow boots.

    They can be good pets..if... they are raised from tiny. Friends had one and a couple (6) bobcats, and three Thai leopard cats, and one Thai Tree Cat, a Cougar sized love bug. Oh Yeah, one very nervous house cat!

    They had a cat door to the outside and a really big sandbox there!
    Also the biggest problem with the big cats is, during puberty, the males want to mark everything! Crystallized salt can be a serious "pong" mess.
    I was never scratched during the hours I spent with them.
    Imagine a Bobcat Queen bringing you her new litter, eyes not yet open, one by one into your hand for approval. I miss them, even after 35 years.

    Yes, more like snowshoes though. It really helps them get around in the snow.
