Hi Y’all
Remember the scent? I mentioned about the scent? Look at these claw marks!
And here they are next to my Human Papa’s foot.
Let me tell you, I marked that spot!
The man that keeps the bee hives says there is a big cat around there. He’s a BIG cat! Must be what was marking that tree…remember the tree I showed y’all last year?
We thought it could only be bears, but bears don’t usually go high into trees. Now seems more likely that it is a big cat. Not your ordinary house kitty, my friends.
Bobcats are common, but big cats are usually heard and not seen in these parts. Tales of panthers are common, but I’ve never seen one. Hope I don’t run into this fellow on our hikes!
Y’all come back now!

Holy Big Kitty, Hawk Dog. I hope you don't run into it also. Stay safe my friend.

That looks like it might be one big kitty kat! No need to go looking for him. Keep you and your humans safe!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, those are some awesome huge claw marks! You be careful though Hawk...I wouldn't want to come up against him! :-D Grrrr...
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Be careful out there!

That's definitely NOT a kitty to mess with!
ReplyDeleteOn our recent trip to Myrtle Beach, there was a wildlife rehab center that during the day displayed a couple of tigers. We walked by the place at night with the dogs. The tigers had been returned to their larger habitat offsite, so they weren't there. But both my dogs were intoxicated by the smell. Wilson was fascinated and poor Jimmy was absolutely horrified. The scent must have triggered a deep seated instinct to get away from a big cat!
That's not the sort of cat you want to meet on a dark night.
ReplyDeleteSheba.
Uh oh! You need to stick close to your human on walks in that area!
ReplyDeleteStay safe! Gosh - those big cats scare me - they are so very stealthy!
ReplyDeleteWow! You and your humans had better be careful out there Hawk! that must be one huge kitty!

We have BIG Mountain Lions here....they are very sneaky and LOVE to follow ~ sometimes we see their tracks when we turn around and this is QUITE the surprise!
ReplyDeleteBe safe out there, my furiend!
Little house cats can be scary enough! Don't think we are ready for big cats!

Hey Hawk, Jet here.
ReplyDeleteThose look like monster prints, dude. Mom thought bear, too... however, we have panthers here in the tropics (not too many, they're endangered)
Please be mindful and stay far away, those meows will come with a big bite.
that's pretty scary! We hope you don't run into one either!
ReplyDeleteOmigoodness! Be safe, Hawk. Be safe!
ReplyDeleteThat last be safe? Me. Stupid fat fingers on a keyboard. *smh*
ReplyDeleteBig cats are scary cats. Heck..sometimes little cats are scary cats. They all have nails and teeth!
ReplyDeleteNot a cat I'd want to tangle with, that's for sure!
