Somehow my day ended with a bobcat on my face.

A woman lies on the ground laughing as a small bobcat nuzzles her face.

@fitzbew248 He’s actually quite small for a bobcat. Runt of the litter, apparently.

@IdahoLark @fitzbew248 I didn't know bobcats could be domesticated. Do they like other humans or just you?

@IdahoLark @boby_biq Um, I have to ask, how did this happen?

@IdahoLark

Do bobcats purr? Was it purring? How it'd feel smooshed up against your face?

IdahoLark

@NevadaWolf He was purring! I couldn’t stop laughing at him rubbing all over my face.

@IdahoLark @NevadaWolf I believe that's one of the differences between big cats (as opposed to large cats) and their smaller brethren. Big cats roar but don't purr, small cats purr but don't roar.

@IdahoLark @NevadaWolf All cats purr, but only small cats purr continuously, big cats purr intermittently.

@IdahoLark @lisamelton what an experience! There must be quite a story behind it.

@IdahoLark This is it. This is how I'm gonna die. I'm gonna run into a bobcat somewhere (I live in Oklahoma -- it's not far-fetched) and I'm gonna remember this picture and I'm gonna go try to hug the bobcat so it will lie on my chest and purr and instead I am going to die under the adorable floof's deathblades.

It'll be worth it, but sheesh. 😆😉🖖🤘

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me a bobcat on my face or give me death!

@IdahoLark I feel like this is setting unrealistic expectations ma’am

@IdahoLark

this is on my bucket list. bobcats are small enough so that unlike the “great cats” they can purr. and they have mighty loud purrs.
