Not climbing?
Caught 2 bobbers yesterday, 1 was just a little bitty kitten that climbed a huge fir tree. Turned out on a completely snowed over track around noon and the dogs ran it great and got it jumped and it got into a creek right beside the road we turned out on and just started running the brush like a rabbit. Plenty of trees to climb but eventually the dogs killed her on the ground. Haven't had that happen a lot but been a few recently and just curious if anyone has an opinion on what makes 99 percent climb and that 1 percent that just refuse?

I wouldn't be able to give an opinion from experience but if I had to guess I would say natural selection. Congrats on the run!

Re: Not climbing?
Always been a mystery why some refuse to climb, do know from experience you can make those kind by jumping them out and course not harvesting.

Re: Not climbing?
Al definitely have created a few females that will not tree by jumping them out as few as just 1 time. This cat wasn't one of them. I just don't get them staying on the ground with trees all around. May need to learn to speak bobcat to figure it out, wonder if babble offers a course

Re: Not climbing?
These non-climbing cats have a disease. It causes them to be more afraid of heights than hounds. It’s called puss-itis and is very contagious. I know several people that have contracted it.
Lol, of course I’m BSing you. I
Don’t know any more about cats than I do women except cat hunting is cheaper. I have cat hunter friends and I’ve heard this topic discussed several times and they still don’t have an answer either.
