I Might Not Be The Tiger King, But I Am The Bobcat King.

- with the recent release of The tiger King on Netflix I just wanted to show that not all exotic animal owners are irresponsible. Most of us have our animals well being. health and happiness in mind. and don't get involved in drama. unfortunately there are people trying to get our rights taken away. and I won't mention names. and they have been successful so far. but we will keep fighting to keep our rights to help these animals and give them homes. thank you.

This botcat is better behaved than half the house cats I know
Tarbtano My cat doesn't relax nearly as easily from pets, and she hates it when you rub her legs. XD She's also nearly as big as this cat which makes me go "WOW". X3
Tarbtano it's being recorded at a good time. Even tigers and lions can seem gentle at times
eskoturn5000 Bobcats are easily petted
1nick1 Gamer 2 yea when they're happy doesn't change that if it attacks it can do serious damage very possibly kill you
1nick1 Gamer 2 aw!!!
Been married 27 years. The fear of wild animals is long gone.......
That's one of the best comments I've gotten in a long time ramanasei. Haha. That made my day. Thanks. I can totally relate.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Benji The Bobcat@ Please don't laugh at my predicament.....
Ramanasei......Bahahahaha!!! 😂
That will change within a second when your wife claims for divorce one day
Human : Here.. kitty kitty kitty..
Bobcat : No , You come here.
Sit Stay good human
Lol
@Koy you are to funny LOL!!!😂😂😂
@Steve G No dog in there right mind would even temp
@Victoria Troianas oh yes. I habe two cats.
Bobcat is like
Forget running around all day in the cold hunting for prey: I’ll be nice to MY hooman friend and be warm, eating like a king!!
I’m retired !!
Funny a retired bobcat
THAT is one gorgeous animal
Isn’t he
Indeed.
Agreed!
He looks like he's about to make you a skooma offer that you can't refuse.
LMAO!!!
Alex B. lol shit made me laugh real hard. I miss oblivion
May your road lead to warm sands.
Alex B. Nords are so serious about beards. So many beards. M'aiq thinks they wish they had glorious manes like Khajiit
Khajiit has wares if you have coin
He is so beautiful........
Thank you for taking care of this incredible feline.....
I don't think there's any need to take care for that bob cat..... ;-)
What an absolute beautiful cat, my goodness.
No doubt about that..Precious Gorgeous and healthy looking!
Glenn Chapman majestic looking animal.
What a beautiful beautiful feline unusually calm, really gorgeous to look at and its manners are perfect
Bobcat: "I own this piece of furniture now, Human. And that one, and that other one."
If you keep a bobcat, you'll quickly learn they own ALL the furniture. Which is why they feel entitled to shred it to pieces, lol.
What a sweet boy he is so nice with the dog. I love cats so much. I love him😍😙😙
I’d give anything to pet this incredible cat. You’ve done a wonderful job. Great Vedic! Wow.
Would you murder your whole family?
I wanna pet it too!
MC what an absolutely stupid comment! First “give” isn’t “do” second are you really just that stupid?
@@Nick-wn1xw I've gotten used to the idiotic comments over the years. Nothing surprises me now after some of the ones I've seen. This one is actually a pretty tame comment compared to some of the ones I've seen. lol. But I agree very stupid.
Benji The Bobcat
its really sad that on such a good video as this, people still find some way to be negative. thanks for calling this idiot out
What a handsome guy. Totally changed my impression regarding bobcats and lynx. Cute puppy
Nuno Soares you cannot domesticate a Lynx. But I Bobcats you can if you raise it from a kitten. They are said to be easier to train than a regular domestic cat and very affectionate
Puppy??
So proud and regal
Cinemas
That's not a puppy its an ostrich get it right
Damn, you are chilling with a beautiful bobcat, while I'm here stuck with a dumbass hamster.
Buy a bobcat feed the hamster to it Muhahaha
A7XHUKISS Me too. :)
That's messed up but funny at the same time haha
Ha, great comment. I feel the same way.
Lmfao!!!!😹😹😹😹
"I'm not fat, I'm big-boned".
😂
The ultimate "can we keep him ? " he's so cute...How few people have had the joy of caressing a bobcat..Great video by an obviously good person.
"Khajiit does not merely show affluence. Khajiit is affluence made flesh."
This cat is so gorgeous! I love when his tongue pokes out just a little bit - so adorable! This cat is in heaven as happy as you keep him. You're a wonderful guardian to your wards! I hope he gets to stay with you forever! :-)
THank you Diana. I hope he does too.
Age logic
I don't know if you'll see this Diana but I hope you are doing well. I lost your email. I just stumbled on this comment you made 5 years ago. haha.
Yes, I hope you get to keep it too. It is gorgeous.👍
@Jim Jam Who cares? It's a bobcat inside someone's house. You don't see that every day.
This is mindblowing!! And then cuddling with the dog!!!
Hes beautiful, wow ,that's a cat I would love to have, so stunningly beautiful 👍
You seem like a great owner. Thank you for taking such great care of this beautiful animal.
Big kitty
Benji is death..he died 2016
What a beautiful bobcat.
He's lovely. Any attention from such a boy is admirable.
Doesn't look wild to me,but he's gorgeous!
Might be drughed .
More he was wild once, but not now
@Michael Ward Oh, he's not wild? haha. Oh you must be in the wildlife profession? Maybe a zoologist or animal biologist, or animal behaviorist? well, no. I guess not any of those because anyone in those professions knows that a wild animal is and always will be wild whether they are raised in the wild or in captivity, and they also know that it is not possible to domesticate or tame or train a wild animal like a bobcat. Oh, but I forgot, you're the expert. So what was your degree in again? One of my degrees is in animal behavior, which is a broad spectrum that covers domestic animals as well as wild animals. and covers body language, sounds. communication. feeding, hunting, diet. breeding, Animals in captivity as well as in the wild. .....etc. as well as a degree in education. But I've now spent 29 years in the animal field, working mostly with wild predators like tigers, cougars, bobcats, African Servals, tigers, jaguars, wolves, fox, deer, snakes, along with many others, but those are the main ones. and then I've also lived with wild predators for the past 20 years. I have directed a rescue for the past 25 years, and worked to educate communities through speaking engagements and workshops and classes on wild animal propagation, and husbandry. and have mentored over 240 people that were new and prospective wild animal owners and am available for technical support 24 hours a day. Basically when they get into situations that are dangeous or unusual and need help so that someone or the animal does not get hurt. But Hell, I don't know anything about the subject. Yah, you're right, He's not wild. he's very tame. In fact. I'll send you an invitation to come to my house to meet him so that you can see just how tame he really is in person. I will have papers drawn up just to be safe though so that I have no respnsibility if anything were to happen to you the second you walk through the door into my house. lol. But of course nothing would happen to you though right? because he's tame. yep, he's tame. Not wild at all. You're perfectly safe. Nothing to worry about. since youre the expert here, and since you said hes not wild. You must be right. Just curious though, what makes you say that he is not wild? what do you see that convinces you that he is not wild? I'm very curious.
Benji The Bobcat he purrs & looks happy, so i guess that translates to "not wild" to some of these people 😊 I don't work with animals, but I think I know more about animal behavior than most people. I've watched a lot of documentaries, & you also learn about human behavior as well. I know nothing beats working with them in real life. I even wanted to be a vet when I was younger. If I weren't a musician, I would've worked with animals somehow for sure! In the meantime, I love observing my furry roomies, my dog & cat ☺️. I'd get more if I had space, but I live in the city.
Make sure you feed him what he wants so he won't eat you remember he is wild and he has the last say....
It's that cat purring at you I hear it purring unbelievable I love this. Amazing
Yes Jean. Bobcats purrs are incredibly loud and if you're on a couch or bed with them it vibrates the whole thing. It's amazing how powerful it is.
Looks like purring and so content there is even some drooling...
@@egroegartfart how does she sound when she's watching birds at the window?
Isnt it supposed to be a sub sonic pitch that carries a couple of miles?
Bobcat: Hey. Just a chillin bobcat lookin for some food and pets, places to sleep. Maybe cuddles. I wanna be loved too.
Mouse to his friend:
"Lets sneak in that house and steal some food?"
Famous last words.
Lmao. And those were the mouses lAst words he ever spoke. Haha. That's great. Thanks. Very true also. He is an amazing hunter.
Benji The Bobcat did you raise him from a baby?
Well I raised an bobcat 30 years ago and he was afraid of mice his whole life😉
@@steffenrosmus9177 he should've spent time with my Maine Coon Gynsy. She has caught 5-6 outside. Her videos are on UA-cam.
That giant cat adores you.
I've absolutely fallen in love with this big sweet kitty! He's adorable and I wish I was so lucky to have my own :)
your bobcat looks tamer than my supposedly domesticated tabby cat.
haha, yes, a lot of people say that glen. He is a wild animal though although from watching my videos you would never know that by the way he acts. Hard to explain but a good example is when they are born in the wild they only accept and bond with their siblings and parents. With them they are just like Benji was with me and my animals. Benji was with us since he was only a few weeks old so we were all he knew and he accepted me and my domestic pets as his family. Now if I would have brought someone else in the house or another animal you would see the wild animal come out because he would have immediately attacked the person or killed the animal. When they are raised in captivity they don't lose their wild instincts. They are just comfortable where they are raised. and also in my videos I never show anything that was bad or him in a bad mood but there were scary moments every single day. Luckily I have many years of experience with them and knew how to handle each situation. but they are wild no matter where they are raised. but yes, he was raised in a very calm environment which is very important when you have a bobcat, or even a domestic cat for that matter. They learn at a very young age how to act, I've seen so many people with domestic cats that act so wild and attack their owners all the time and chase and bite at their hands or feet and that's because they've played too rough with them when they were young. making them chase their hands or making them wild. I see so many people doing that with kittens and laughing and thinking it's cute, but when their cat becomes an adult and is still doing it, it isn't so cute anymore.
Benji The Bobcat Thanks for the reply that was really interesting. I used to play fight with my kitten he's 18 months old now and we still play fight but when he gets to wild and I say NO he stops I guess all cats still have a wild side to them hence why domesticated cats can still become feral. If a stranger came into the room would Benji actually attack or try to get away? I guess a wild cats wild side is closer to the surface than a domesticated cat no matter how tame they appear.
glenwoofit no he would attack. It was illegal for me to let anyone have any contact with him, but when the vet came he had to get out of the house fast because Benji was going to attack him. bobcats do give you a warning, which I like a lot, but you don't have much time after they let you know. and then another person who also has a lot of experience with bobcats and other wild animals came in one time and it was the same thing. Bobcats in the wild hide from people. They just want nothing to do with people. and they won't usually attack you unless you invade their space or they feel threatened. Most people think they are afraid of people but they are not. Their downfall actually is that they are fearless, and will attack and fight any predator no matter what size or animal it is, but sometimes they choose the wrong animal. But when raised with people they won't hide when people come around. I had people stop to visit him almost everyday. but they just talked to him while he was outside in his enclosure and he loved that. but there would always be one person that he just didn't like, and there really was no reason for it. and he would attack the fencing on the enclosure wanting to get at them. With a wild animal they are just unpredictable so owners have to be so very careful because we are very liable for anything that happens.
Benji The Bobcat Thank you so much for all the info I appreciate it. I live in the UK so the only wildcat we have here is the Scottish Wildcat they are like large tabby cats but completely wild and sadly very rare. I'm loving watching your videos it's fascinating watching cat behaviour no matter what type of cat, Lion, Bobcat or Tabby as they all share the same behaviour but I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of any of them.
glenwoofit Thanks Glen, I'm glad you like my videos. Sadly Benji passed away last summer. I miss him a lot. He was in over 800 videos, It was like he knew when I turned the camera on. Like he just had to show off. He was so funny. He always made me laugh and made my day so fun. I haven't heard of the Scottish Wildcat. I'll look them up. Thank you. Yes, you definitely don't want to get on their bad side. Bobcats are a small animal. only 30 to 70 pounds but are very dangerous. I cherish the years I got to spend and live with bobcats. Those were very special years of my life. Thanks again. I do have some new videos of my pets coming out soon. Not as exciting as seeing a bobcat, but I have missed filming and want to keep doing it.
Wow how beautiful! very lucky to have him to cuddle with , ❤️ it !!!!
Aw, beautiful, sweet-natured, majestic-looking bobcat with beautiful patterns on its fur.
I never knew wild bobcats could be so friendly and well behaved. She's a pretty kitty!
That is one incredibly domestic "wild" bobcat...
You are correct. He ranted in a comment below that he bought it from a breeder.
coredumperror I thought I was wild 😂
bradyspace yeah because so many people hace bobs cats as pets. Shut up already.
bud389 shut up
Ive always wanted one To bad I live in New York state freaking state is lame as hell. I Gotta get the hell out here
Oh Benji, you have stolen my heart!
Yes, a total wildcat, and I have never seen such a savage creature.
😄
😸
I know right? I feared for the guys life. The way he sleeps on the table is terrifying 😬😂
He's like a quadruple size housecat, wow
yes. he was around 45 to 50 pounds in the winter but in the summer he would get down to 35_ or so pounds. he was a big boy. there's 12 subspecies of bobcats so their sizes can range from 18 to even 70 pounds.

YESSSSS
haha
Magnificent animal! Thank you for sharing.
It's looks like a tiger but it's tame and so beauty anyway..
all cats are pretty safe to have as pets, as long as the size difference is such that they don't see you as a candidate for a meal. if you are too big to be a meal, the cat will avoid you unless it trusts you to not be a threat
Absolutely gorgeous cat
cute,looks exactly like my cat,but 5 times bigger :D
Hi Benji! You are...meraviglioso!!! 😁❤👍👍 kisses from Italy!
3:50, dog is mans best friend but lynx is dogs best friend 🐶❤🐯
Rottweiler + bobcat = home security on eight paws.
Lol its just like a normal cat except its a bobcat xD
Evil's Bass Mixes Its not a normal cat, this is way more aggressive and stronger and weighs over twice as much as a regular cat
...
A little bigger than a normal cat tho
Evil's Bass Mixes name him Bob XD
Jose Rodrigo - This bobcat looks like it is mixed with a regular domestic cat. It may not be from it's direct parents though. It could have had those traits passed down from one of it's grandparents or great grandparents.
It doesn't seem that wild to me.
+Abraham Lincoln they are still wild even when tamed cause they can still attempt to kill you if they wanted to for what ever reason
The word "wild" means it was taken from the wild, which this cat obviously wasn't.
I figured 'wild' meant that they would survive if let back out into the wild...still having wilderness survival skills.
When stationed in West Germany in the 80s, a platoon sergeant’s half bobcat, half domestic cat attacked a burglar and chased him off. The cat was sitting on a piece of furniture next to front door cleaning the blood out of his paws when my platoon sergeant got into the apartment, he had pulled up with his wife as the burglar came running out of the building holding his face.......
You may think they won’t attack, and they probably won’t, but don’t think the cat doesn’t have the ability.

Benji is awesome, cute pink nose! Beautiful fur ball. Thank You for sharing your bobcat with us.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💞💞💞💞💞
He’s so beautiful!
That's one fat housecat !
Can't imagine cleaning the cat box .
The title says its a 'bobcat', not an 'fat housecat', its more to as an 'big housecat' ;3
They can Lear to use a toilet.
probably shits less than a german shephard
@@kubppkq_1765 He was clearly joking.
@@fraukeschmidt8364 and i was too. You should calm down and take a chill pill, though it might not do you any good... Replying to this with a angry comment would start a fight (maybe..) but anyways im O-U-T.
This channel was the first one I subscribed to on UA-cam. It was so beautiful watching the interaction between Benji and your family. I go back and rewatch the episodes.
Know you still miss him, but also know that you made his life so good and happy.
The world needs more people like you and your family.
Thank you so much linda. I really appreciate that. I miss him so much. I wish things could have been different. Thsnk you for watching my videos. That was the happiest time of my life.
@@egroegartfart Benji is always with you, in your mind, in your heart, and in your soul. And he is patiently waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge. You will be together again.
@@brightlight864 thank you linda. I cant wait to see him again. I know he is happy and playing with athena and other animals that hes made friends with. I just think he left us way too soon. He had so much more to give this world. I still get messages weekly and daily how hes touched peoples lives and just made their day so much better. He wasnt supposex to survive even a couple weeks when i got him so im glad he had those four years to show the world just what kind of animal he was and to break down some of those barriers and stereotypes people have about wild animals. For sure he was an exception to what most wild animals are. Ive never met one like him and likely will never meet another thst is like him. But he was just amazing. So smarg. So caring. He was thd first wild predator thst i experienced unselfishness from. And still havent met another with that quality. I vould go on and on linda.
Beautiful feline.. Thank you for sharing. ☺❤🐆🐾🐾❤🐅🐾🐾❤🐈🐾🐾❤
His purr says it all he’s one happy kitty
Holy shit that thing would tear a Pitt bull a new asshole. Yet adorable and terrifying all at the same time.
A pitbull is not going to get beat up by a bobcat...
Nathan Alspaugh lol you don't understand what these things are capable of I've seen them take down wild hour and a buck not at the same time
Sorri but you're only saying that because you're so used to seeing pit bulls and this new cheetah-looking things looks scary. A pit bull would fuck up any bobcat
my neighbors rhodesian ridgeback has brought home several Bob cat carcasses.
@@doomtrigger they only weigh 20 pounds. a pitbull could kill it

The most majestic, beautiful and magnificent housecat I've ever seen on the internet!
So majestic , so handsome and beautiful , so cute .... unreel !
This Bobcat is no longer wild it is domesticated... And by the way what a beautiful creature.
Bobcats are beautiful
Tess S - no it takes many, many generations to domesticate a wild species. Even ordinary domesticated cats have kept some of their wild ways.
This gorgeous bobcat is simply used to humans and has become comfortable around them, and enjoys being taken care of by them so therefore has a certain amount of trust in these humans. But cross it or threaten it in some way... I wouldn't want to feel those claws or jaws.
I believe the word is "tamed" rather then domesticated. Gorgeous creature.
He was a domestic house cat in one of his previous lives 😊😊
It's possible. He loves people. Ty
Aww! So sweet & gorgeous! Thanks for taking care of him!
Thank you so much m f. I was so glad to take care of him. And actually he took care of me in a lot of ways. Just showing me that different species can coexist happily. Even predator and prey can be best friends. I don't know if you saw any of my videos with my deer, but they were together 24/7. and just best friends. It was amazing.
Gorgeous kitty. What a face!
Oh, yeah, look how wild he is.
Chaos inc. Lol agreed, that ain't no wild cat. My domestic cat is wilder than that lol

King of the castle haha👍🏻
We’ve got them out by where I live in Northern Michigan. Wouldn’t mind having one of my own.
You will go thru many kittens to find that one that has the qualities that you'd want to domesticate that animal. It is very rare to find a wild that can be this domesticated, even if bottle fed from day one. Every animal has their own personality traits, just like we all do. Finding that one is like finding a needle in a haystack. Benji is one of a kind and my heart sunk when I found out he is no longer with us.
o_0 *WILD* ! well it is surely timid !. & Cute ! Thanks for uploading this !. Very cool !.
👻👍Just gotta luv the bobcats so cool. I want one. Hear kitty kitty❤️
Wild animal purr? Funniest thing ever! :D
Please, please, please tell us the story of how you two met! Was he a baby lost when you found him? My God I would give anything to snuggle and take a nap with him! He’s mesmerizing!
stunning creature..♥️👍🇬🇧
What a beautiful creature!!!
That reminds me so much of my Aunt's bobcat Morris. He was a big old baby like that and would lie around. She had him declawed because he never went outside. You couldn't make him go outside. He was such a sweet baby. HEAVY though but sweet. He had to be in your lap though. And when Morris wanted in your lap - by George he got in your lap! LOL
Declawing is illegal in Australia, and for good reason. It falls under animal cruelty. Large cats are considered wild and aren't allowed as pets either, only with a license can someone own wild breeds. I'm sure your friend treated the cat well, it's just unfortunate that declawing isn't outlawed in the USA.
Declawed??? Wtf. That's inhumane. Fucking lunatics. Go fuk urself.
Declawing wow. People that have cats declawed should have their fingernails ripped out. It should be illegal but of coarse everything in the US is legal except your privacy. Lol.
lazy and spoiled , as a cat should be :)

So adorable
Behaves so well
Thank you salvation. He definitely was so well behaved. He was amazing. Thank you.
He’s is gorgeous that face is amazing!, did you bring him up since he was a kitten? I would think that’s probably the only way that would work. Looks like a sweetie
Absolutely beautiful! More people should have native animals as pets - if only as a conservation strategy to preserve such species. 👍
Thankyou for sharing your beautiful cat.
