When a Bath County couple happened upon what appeared to be a cuddly male feline alongside Route 29 last spring, they thought they’d found a new family member. After two weeks, the couple noticed distinctive markings which revealed that their new pet was a bobcat destined to grow to about 25 pounds. That’s when the cat made the trip to the Virginia Wildlife Center in Waynesboro.
He was just impossibly cute when he was here,” said Edward Clark, president of the Virginia Wildlife Center, “but when he weighs 30 pounds and eats the poodle, the charm’s gonna wear off.”
The bobcat kitten spent two months at the Wildlife Center before being shipped recently to its permanent home, Maymont Nature Park in Richmond.
