Here's a funny cat

I think I might be able to do that too, if a mountain lion was chasing me.
You, and I, would likely try AND fail. :muttley: My amazement is totally about how unfazed the bobcat was. Surely (and do not call me Shirley! :mad: ) the bobcat was stuck with ONE spine needle at least scaling the cactus escaping the mountain lion, especially in its paws. Yet, judging from the pic and the video (thanks @Juggernaut ), the bobcat was pretty meh about the whole experience. Like he or she does it EVERY day.

I mean, just HOW IN THE HECK does any living thing, that does not have scales or any exoskeleton for body/skin, CLIMB any cactus unscathed? That is still knocking my curiosity around with a baseball, not the escape from the mountain lion, which was still very cool to learn.

If you've ever seen a saguaro cactus up close, the needles are usually a couple of inches long. I suppose it's possible the bobcat knows how to swipe them down, like the spines of a fish. I have no idea how he was able to lie on top though, unless he has extremely thick fur underneath.
