  • During the Chips forest fire on the Plumas National Forest, a baby bobcat was orphaned. While the Forest Service restored the forest, the bobcat then known as Chips, recovered at a wild animal rehabilitation facility. Recently, Chips was returned to the wild.

      +Afmedic85 I would want to but it isn't good for the kitty. That is unless it has to live in captivity, then I would ask the handlers if I could.

    For those saying that Chips should have been converted to veganism: You don't know much about cats. Cats are obligate carnivores and *have to eat meat*, as the majority of their diet, to thrive. Depriving any cat of meat is cruel animal abuse. Humans can survive, and be healthy, without meat. Cats cannot (thisv is the case not "only" for big, wild cats, but also for pet/house cats.

      Some people are hands down hopeless cases! Avegan bobcat... 🤦🏻‍♀️ A horribly corrupting influence on so many levels. Unlike you I can't even get going and explain the details, because certain types of people refuse to be taught substantial knowledge anyway due to their blinded, self-satisfied, pseudo-ethical agenda in life! If If that species of not reasonable but inconsiderate hardliner vegans took over the world in order to save nature and label themselves gracious humans, ironically and dreadfully, fauna and flora would die out within a few years! Raise a vegan bobcat... 🤦🏻‍♀️ That's in no way consistent with nature, it's quite frankly the epitome of ignorance, stupidity and human destruction of the natural circle.

      Saying that cats should convert into veganism is like saying sharks, lions and wolves could last a week without meat. Not only is that animal abuse, it affects their body from that sort of diet.

    My bobcat is as gentle as a lamb,I have had him since he was 5 weeks old. He sleeps with me, takes food from my lips so gently I can barely notice it. He is also so smart I am teaching him to use the toilet. Since my German Rottweiler died he has been my guardian while I sleep.

      I'm really not trying to discredit your experience, but you really should not be keeping a bobcat in your house, or even have one as a pet in general. It's important for your safety, as well as the safety of others who you might want to introduce the bobcat to. You may feel as though you've made progress in domesticating it, but they are still wild animals... It's not worth the slight chance that it will resort to its feral nature and attack you for some reason unknown to you. Believe me, it can and does happen. I'm just trying to give you a bit of advice as someone who has lived in areas where these types of animals commonly roam. I would NOT under any circumstances ever bring one into my house.

    I think the hardest part for these great people who help these animals is not interacting with them after a certain time. I know i would just want to cuddle and love Chip and spoil her. But she is not a pet and deserves to live the life of a wild Bobcat. Thanks for all the great work you guys do.

      @khalilrazak6486 8 лет назад +20

      Me too, I would cuddle her every second. She is just too cute and adorable, I love little naughty cuddly Bobcat babies and Bobcat's. I used to have a beautiful tabby cat and he used to snuggle right next to me on my bed all night and then in the morning he would rub his cute soft face next to mine to wake me up so I didn't need an alarm clock but unfortunately he died and when I look at his BEUTIFUL photos it brings a tear to my eye because he understood me and I understood him. He was so kind, loving, affectionate and a great companion he will never be forgotten as he has a special place in my heart. My children were completely shattered until I bought home another little cute, cuddly, soft, furry baby tabby kitten and my kids are so happy know and he also reminds me of BARNY my great cat gone but never forgotten.

    What a privilege to be able to get close to all of these wild animals. All of these rehabilitators even though they are trained professionals, the risk is always there for wild animal behavior. Yet, they always do it so gracefully.

    I belong to a wildlife rehabilitation group in Northern NY, North Country Wild Care. Its really hard not to get attached to an adorable critter like her. But its in her best interest that she is returned back into the wild where she can thrive. Teaching them how to be wild again is rewarding. You get a real sense of accomplishment when they are able to make it on their own.

    I hope Chip is happy in the wild.
    The wild is not the romantic place Disney makes it out to be, but it's where they are meant to be.

    I thought this was going to be a video about cuteness, instead it’s a video about the forestry service.

    God bless people like this. We need more of them in the world. Making a special effort to care for another living creature outside your own species is the sign of a genuine and beautiful heart.
