I had an experience with a litter of bobcat kittens several years ago when my lab Annie was still alive. We were out checking cameras on a lease place here in east TX, and Annie wondered off. I called her to leave, and she didn’t come to me. I heard a weird noise and found her by a hole under a tree stump, and there were three baby bobcats cussing and swatting at her. I figured the mama had to around somewhere, so I grabbed Ann’s collar and made her leave. We had about a quarter mile walk back to the Ranger, and Ann kept trying to wander off the trail and out into the woods. I kept calling her back to me. Finally, I got a glimpse of something paralleling us about 25 yards out in the brush to our left, and it was what I figure was the mama bobcat. Needless to say, I quickened our pace, and we got the heck out of there.
