Recently, a TikTok video has gone viral on the Internet, documenting the moment when a black cat named Shadow spotted a bobcat in its backyard. In the video, Shadow is standing behind a glass door, meowing non-stop outside. At first, the owner thought it was driving away birds, only to find out that it was actually a little bobcat. In the distance, there was also an adult bobcat (possibly a female) lurking. The homeowner was extremely nervous and thanked Shadow for the warning.
The video received nearly 6 million views within just a few days. Netizens joked one after another: “The bobcat thought, ‘You actually live with humans?'” “Little bobcat: Mom, look at this mini leopard!”
The lynx belongs to the genus Lynx. It is smaller in size than other lynxes (such as the Canadian lynx), has strong adaptability, and its habitat ranges from deserts to forests. They look similar to domestic cats, but their fur color is mostly light yellow to brown with spots and stripes, and their ears have tufts of hair. Although they are cute in appearance, bobcats are not pets. Experts warn against attempting to domesticate them. If you prefer cats with a wild style, you may consider domesticated breeds such as Bengal cats or Savannah cats.
