Several calls came in from people on the Upper Tampa Trail about a bobcatThe bobcat was acting strange under this busy highway in a tunnelBig Cat Rescuers rushed to the scene with nets, gloves & carrierJamie finds it funny that her old mother is struggling to climb fenceJamie listens for sounds of a bobcat in the brush and looks for motionThe roar of traffic makes tracking by sound nearly impossibleRaccoon tracks and wild pig tracks in mud, but no bobcat printsSeveral good den options along Rocky Creek that could house a bobcatCallers had said bobcat was thin and not concerned about their presenceAll FL bobcats are thin, so we just wanted to make sure the cat wasn't in troubleAfter a long search we conclude that no news is good news. This bobcat sees people all the time.
The good news about not finding the bobcat is that it wasn’t injured and not sick enough that she could be caught. Jamie is pretty sure she has seen this cat by the trail before. The bobcat was staying just out of reach of the people who had called, rather than bolting away, and that’s what they thought was odd. Jamie and Carole blade and bike the trail all the time and will keep an eye out for her and have alerted the Park Rangers to watch out for an ailing bobcat. If she is not sick, and just the typically thin FL bobcat, then right next to the dump is a great place to find rats. Bobcats make lousy pets, but great neighbors.

I am confused?
Is Amanda living with Andre and Arthur, or is she living apart?????
They all live together, but Arthur and Andre hang out together and Amanda is more of a loner.
Well, that is so great!! 😀
