California who had experience with bobcats. It seems his wife's white persian female mated with a local tom bobcat. I only saw one of the kittens, by then an old and venerable cat, very much a loner except to his people. The miner said the cat/bob cleaned up the neighborhood of dogs. Killed them all. The animal had very large paws, large white and gray/black areas on its body, and had a tail that was all curled up and perched on its rump. I didn't have the nerve to check out the tail in more detail. Don Chitwood tektronix!donch Advanced Research Labs Tektronix, OR
