I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. Something’s wrong. Lady Human! There’s a weird scent on the air!
Me: Yeah, Tall Man just told me he heard a bobcat growling nearby. Heads up!
Sweetie: A cat named Bob? Who would do such a thing? And we already have a cat around here so…nope!
Me: A bobcat is a wild animal, way bigger that a house cat like MoonCat.
MoonCat: Yeah, leave me out of this. I do not now nor have I ever associated with wild cats of any size. And not about to start.
Doodlebug: I can deal with it.
Me: No, sir, you can’t. Bobcats climb fences and they hunt small animals.
Sweetie: Well, I’m not small so that leaves me out.
Me: Not really. I say again, Heads up! I’ll be going outside with you for the time being. It will probably move on back into the trees by the creek. It won’t like the presence of humans.
Sweetie: So you are good for something, Lady Human! I knew we would find out what it was sooner or later.
Doodlebug: I still don’t know why someone would name a cat “Bob”.
