    On the way out to rescue Dan from being stuck in the woods with a dead truck battery, I found a bobcat kitten all alone and laying on a dirt road. I rescued her and took her to a wildlife rehabber. There is a sad update at the end of the video 💔

    I came over from tik tok to see the rest of Banjos story… I was wondering why she may have been left on that road alone & then you mentioned she had seizures. I wonder if the momma sensed this & that’s why she abandoned the baby (Banjo). I’m happy she wasn’t alone & got some love near the end! ❤️

    makes no sense… it looked heathy… why would it have seizures.? someone leave the kitty alone with some young kids - and blame it on seizures.?

  • @hilohaw
    @hilohaw 2 роки тому +78

    I wonder if momma bobcat abandoned her because she witnessed seizures. Nature can be cruel, but apparently the momma's instincts were solid, if my guess is correct.

      The mother Bobcat saw this as weakness, as with most wildlife, almost all of babies born with some kind of weakness are abandoned or straight up ignored like with some birds, weak babies either just die in the nest, abandoned nearby or the mom kills it. Squirrels just kick their weak babies out their nest hoping the fall will kill it.

    My wild guess is that momma knew that kitten wasn´t healthy and just left him. If this is is the case, I wouldn´t look at it as story with bad ending. Kitten wasn´t alone, hungry and in cold. Was with somebody who took care of him.
    That doesn´t mean im in tears now, year ago I found little kitten who couldn´t eat and was left alone. Luckily, I knew someone in shelter and the kitten took 14 days to recover. I can tell you, this was the longest 14 in my life and I couldn´t even sleep. Now she is happy cat :)
    Just wanted to give you something with happy ending :)

    Sad to see this story, maybe by serendipity, on youtube. I had a bobcat that I found in a burned tree as a kitten, post a forest fire in Central Calif; his name was Teddy. He lived a great life with us/me and grew up to a ripe old age and had many outdoor adventures (akin to some of the other bobcat, lynx, panther and mountain lion vids you can see on youtube). I love to flyfish and he would always accompany me on long hiking and camping trips - never running off but staying with his "family" (I had a dog and a domestic cat that came too). Your nice little bob' kitten was likely abandoned by it's mother when she experienced the kitten's seizures. Nature seems cruel at times but it is consistent, if anything. So happy you took action to give it comfort.

      Not a great story since it's illegal to own a bobcat in CA as a pet. They're an apex predator. Not a pet. You were lucky not to have been injured by it. Talk to the woman who had her face ripped off by her friend's chimp.

    This is not normal behavior for wild cat even this age. It should be hissing at you with a high energy level. Something is seriously wrong. He looks dehydrated and disoriented and stumbling when walking. When they appear this tame, they are very sick already. Poor little thing. Thank you for your care and concern. Very sad he did not make it.

    We found what we though was a tiny baby kitten as well. Still had it's Eyes closed. By the side of a busy road. So we turned around stopped and took it home. Later to realize it was a baby bob cat faral cat mix or hybrid. We bottle feed it and raised it. He is 6 months old and bigger than a full grown house cat. Though he has a long tail. He has the hind legs, and large paws, the ears and facial including the large nose. We call him buzz. Because of his activness. He has the ears of a bobcat and markings , and does not meow, he gurgles and purrs are extremely loud. He gets along with our sheppard husky mix, Rio. One thing for certain he lives beef and not fish or sea food. All he wants is cat beef and gravey. He is an outstanding hybrid and has no fear. But sure loves to play.

    That could be the reason the momma left, because they know if a baby is sick or has a disability & they sadly abandon them when they’re like that, so she probably knew it suffered from seizures or had brain problems. (If it had it at that time, that is) I say “it” because I don’t know if it’s male or female.

      That's what the vet told us. That more than likely it was sick and momma left her. We did everything we could. It was also the wrong time of year for there to be a kitten that small. This was in September when it was 100° outside and not to far from winter. I don't know if it would have even made it at that young age in the cold. Not the way we wanted it to end but it was sweet and loved before it left this world. Thank you for the comment!

    Look how tame he is after just meeting you. Kind of destroys all the bull we've been told about them having to be bred for thousands of years by humans in order to get the wild out of them, like domestics have been. This guy is as tame as a domestic kitten and likely has never been close to or maybe have never even seen a human. That's so cool.
    Actually, my domestic was born away from my brothers house, and they were wild as they could be. Took 3 days staying in my bedroom to go from wild, to sleeping on top of me... another reason not to believe the aforementioned myth unless we believe that thousands of years of breeding was removed in 3 days, plus, those wild domestic kittens would never have been wild at all if the myth were true.
