She and her sister Mogey were the first ones to spot the bobcat.</div><div><br></div><div>“I thought they'd be scared, I thought they'd run away,” said the cats’ owner, Bucky Marshall.</div><div><br></div><div>This newfound courage may not be such a new thing after all. These cats were born in a scary place.</div><div><br></div><div>“Pima and her sister Mogey were born in a dumpster in Colorado,” Marshall explained. “The rescue people called us and we said, ‘No, we can't have any more cats.’ Then we met them and the rest is history.”</div><div><br></div><div>And now, three years later, an unexpected visitor literally arrived at their door.</div><div><br></div><div>“That day was Friday the 13th. I had no idea Friday the 13th would be my lucky day,” Marshall recalled with a smile.</div><div><br></div><div>When Marshall saw the bobcat he grabbed his camera, just hoping to be lucky enough to get a picture of the wild cat. Instead, he got some incredible video of Pima pawing at the glass door, desperately trying to get the bobcat’s attention.</div><div><br></div><div>“Pima would get up here and was pawing at the window, pawing at the window. ‘Pay attention to me, pay attention to me, I want to be your friend’,” Marshall explained while pointing at the spot where the two felines interacted.</div><div><br></div><div>After a couple of minutes of ignoring Pima, the bobcat reached up and the two cats exchanged a tender moment: a bobcat and a domestic house cat, trying to touch paws through a glass door.</div><div><br></div><div>“At first when it happened I thought the bobcat would get aggressive,” said Marshall. “But instead it was quite the nice little interaction where the bobcat almost wanted to play.”</div><div><br></div><div>---------------</div><div><br></div><img src="cid:BF8426A8-90EC-4D82-BBFF-44C69C53AAF0" alt="image.jpeg" id="BF8426A8-90EC-4D82-BBFF-44C69C53AAF0" width="640" height="480"><div><br></div><div>Video</div><div><a href="http://www.MoscowCares.com/BobcatMeetsHousecat_ABC15_050512.htm"></a><a href="http://www.MoscowCares.com/BobcatMeetsHousecat_ABC15_050512.htm"><a href="http://www.MoscowCares.com/BobcatMeetsHousecat_ABC15_050512.htm">http://www.MoscowCares.com/BobcatMeetsHousecat_ABC15_050512.htm</a></a></div><div> </div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); ">-----------------------------------</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469);"> <br></span><div>Seeya round town, Moscow.</div><div><br></div><div>Tom Hansen</div><div>Moscow, Idaho</div><div><br></div><div>"If not us, who?</div><div>If not now, when?"</div><div><br></div><div>- Unknown</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div><div></div></div><div></div></div><div></div></div><div></div></body></html>
