Here's our pet bobcat, Rufus, relaxing on the barbecue last summer!
Here's a picture of Rufus playing with our dog, Mattie - yes, he's really a pet, taken from his mother before his eyes opened, bottle fed - we got him when he was 8 months old - he's declawed so he couldn't be put in the wild - he was raised in a pet store with puppies before we got him so he loves dogs. We have a scientific research permit for him - he gets rabies shots just like a regular cat and they test the efficacy of those and they've tested his DNA, etc. He's a lively but fun pet!
He's not really your pet... is he?
Rufus is beautiful anyway :)

wow, Rufus sure looks like he could turn dangerous in a hurry.

It looks like tiger or lion ;)

He is beautiful, but yes a bit scary.

Hi all,
Yes, he's a pet - we got him when he was 8 months but he'd been bottle fed from birth by another family - he's declawed - I just took a picture of him outdoors playing with our dog and I've added it to the blog - also if you scroll down in the blog you'll see Rufus in the kitchen over Xmas lusting after the turkey!!!

He is the new BBQ Master! He will, however, cook everything on the, uh, rare side.

My dog has been acting very aggressive the past couple weeks and my cat is also acting strange. I hope they haven't contracted rabies. I'm going to have to take them both to the vet.
