so the best thing about this is that bobcats, like just about every feline besides lions and domestic cats, are pretty solitary. they donā€™t really have friends. they arenā€™t really equipped to make friends.Ā 

domestic cats, on the other hand, do know how to make friends. they are friendly to the point that lots of feral cats live in coloniesā€” the females hang out together, even raise kids together, and the males like to spend nonsexual time with their baby mommas. they groom each other, play around, and have a particular tail position to signal to one anotherā€” straight up with the tip curledā€” that theyā€™re friendly and happy to see each other. cats learned how to be chill with each other in order to take full advantage of human food sources: an ancient granary supplies enough rats for a lot of cats, as does a modern lady with a big bag of frisky bits, so it would be a waste of time and energy for any one cat to try and stake the entire foodsource out for exclusive use. less fighting means more eating and resting which means a longer, nicer life and a lot more kittens.Ā 

so this stray cat, she obviously has no colony if sheā€™s wandering around and sneaking into zoo enclosures, so sheā€™s likeĀ ā€˜hey! thereā€™s food here! what up, other cat, letā€™s be friends, letā€™s be friends and share that foodā€™. and the bobcat is likeĀ ā€˜??????ā€™ because actually wild cats are pretty cautious about initiating hostilities and anything new and aggressive makes them very worried. and the domestic cat is likeĀ ā€˜haha cool, ok, weā€™re friends now, big guy. no problems.ā€™ and the bobcat is likeĀ ā€˜????? wellā€¦?? ok?ā€™ and then they are friends.Ā 

the super interesting thingĀ about most wild cat species is they donā€™t really have the capacity to make friends on their own, especially outside of sibling bonds, but,Ā if someone comes along and does all the friend-making themselves, theyā€™ll totally roll with it. zoo cats can get really attached to their caregiversā€” or, in this case, a very confident little calico demonstrating exactly why her species has been so darn successful over the last nine thousand years .Ā 

so anyway that is the best thing: bobcats are not equipped to make friends, but luckily for this bobcat this homeless lady did not give any shits and made friends anyway. and now they are both happy.Ā

So apparently ā€˜female adventurerā€™ was early 1900s slang for lesbians/bi/pan women.

EXCELLENT.
