Collage of two white-flash night camera trap photos of a bobcat lounging on fallen log ...and closing its eyes.
Daytime camera trap photo of a fisher in the snow.
OTD last year- bobcat doing bobcat things #isAcat; and in '22 a surprising midday appearance by a fisher #NOTaCat.

Here's your #FelidFriday video. And it won't disappoint. #bobcat comes back up to the quail block platform. 🔊 up for the announcement of HER arrival.
Folks: I think this clearly shows this is a female, right?
It's #FelidFriday!
Get rid of this mound o'silt from monsoonal run-off in the chute, or just leave it as the #bobcat litter box it seems destined to have become? 😹
This may be the same young cat from the saguaro bird-seed stand. Jiggly bits (balls) or no? I can't tell.
It's #FelidFriday, and I've got some #bobcat antics for you. Love our #SonoranDesert bobs!
🔊 for first part of video
(Sorry so choppy. To meet size req. on BS, had to chop the original that is over on X).
Bobcat captured in lower right of the cam, white underside of tail showing, and two ears sticking from left side of its mouth. Closer inspection shows a rabbit draped out the right side of the mouth.
This shot, where the cat has advanced away from the camera, illustrates very long legs/body of what is probably a jackrabbit in the cat's jaws. Poor bun. But kitty's gotta eat, too.
It's #FelidFriday, and this #bobcat caught quite the prize. Appears to be a #jackrabbit, given sheer size and rabbit-leg length.
It's #FelidFriday and we've got a smaller #bobcat coming down the chute this week (vs. last week's larger bob/s at the wash, who has a clear white V on the tip of his tail).

Smol and gorgeous grey tabby giving major side-eye, daring me to move my arm while she's settled on it in a tiny ball.
Xippie *daring* me to move my arm. One-handed typing and coding it is I guess...

A gorgeous but exhausted gray tabby sleeping on her side with the bottom ear slightly folded and squished whiskers, next to her human / slave, who is working with a computer on her lap.
No one and I mean NO ONE puts in more work than this one. Just *look* at the exhaustion.

A beautiful gray tabby giving some serious side-eye while sitting next to a woman with a laptop.
Could not ask for a better supervisor 😹 She strikes the perfect balance of keeping me on my toes without #micromanaging, encouraging but also not afraid to express her disappointment if I don't meet her expectations.

Gorgeous gray tabby cat in shrimp mode
I'm so lucky to have such a dedicated little helper as I finish the last big tasks for this revision. She's definitely helped me push through the most frustrating bits.

For #FelidFriday this week, the first lions I ever saw in the wild! I know this isn't a very good photo - I had a crappy camera at the time (this was so long ago it was taken on ACTUAL FILM!), and I was also losing my mind with excitement ...

Pallas's cat, also called the manul. It's native to the steppes of Asia - you can see the thick fur it has to keep warm.

#FelidFriday Leopards are usually solitary animals. I was lucky enough to see this mating pair in the Serengeti, taking a break from their amorous activities!

For #FelidFriday this week, a tiger performing flehmen. This grimace draws air over the Jacobson's organ in the roof of the mouth, providing greater analysis of scent.

An interesting lion for #FelidFriday. At first glance, it looks like a lioness, but it's actually a castrated male! A castrated male lion will lose his mane, or just not grow one if it's done before adolescence.

#FelidFriday A rusty spotted cat I saw at a zoo recently. This species vies with the black-footed cat for the title of World's Smallest Cat, and is ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS.

Lioness for #FelidFriday. Lionesses in a pride are all related - mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts. Female cubs stay with the pride they were born into for life, whilst males leave at adolescence.
