Guys--I pet a baby bobcat yesterday. As in a real live wild bobcat kitten! I'm still not sure what it was doing looking all angry in a box in the Marine Fisheries headquarters, but it was there and I pet it and it was
superfuzzycuteomg.
I failed to take a picture but it looked quite a lot like this little fella:
Except he wasn't drinking from a bottle, he was making little hissy faces and clearly didn't want to be there. I think he was abandoned and then found by one of the Conservation Officers. They're sending him to a local zoo so he can safely grow up into this magnificent kitty:
Meet
Lynx rufus, the largest wild cat in Connecticut!
And I pet one. Sometimes, low-paying seasonal jobs are pretty damn cool.
In other squee-worthy news, I have a sock pattern currently being tested and the testers are finishing up and their socks look amazing and the pattern is getting really great feedback and I'm super duper excited about that and can't wait to release it. See? I had something knitting-related to say afterall...
Awww. that sounds amazing! I think that is such an experience, seeing it before it's fully wild and being able to pet it is just pretty darn neat :)
ReplyDeleteIt was! Thought admittedly it looked pretty much like any other kitten, just with shorter ears.
DeleteVery cool about the pattern! I'll be keeping an eye out on Rav.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll hopefully be able to get it up there by the end of the month.
