Cool cat pics Ted! The mountain lion was one of my favorite animals when I was a kid. I had a whole section of my wall with dozens of pics of them I’d saved from magazines. Growing up I told my Mom I wanted one for a pet someday, and it scared her to death because she said she was afraid it’d eat her grandchildren. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Later I thought about maybe getting a Bobcat because it would be smaller and not as dangerous. Is BillyBob friendly? I wondered how their demeanor would be.

We have a Maine Coon named Jingles. They get pretty big, 20+ lbs or so. He’s ok most of the time, but he can be mean when he wants to. He was pretty grown when we got him though. He might have done better if we got him when he was smaller. We had another Maine Coon years ago that we adopted when someone dumped her out here, and she was sweet as could be.

If Bobcats can be tamed to where they’re not mean or dangerous, I still might like to get one someday.
