OK, I gotta ask. Where does one get a bottle of Bobcat urine? I mean the
questions abound. How do you convince a bobcat that it wants to be checked
for drug use? How does a bobcat get it into a bottle? Does this guy have an
extra supply since I'm fresh out?
On a more serious note, I would assume that those housebound mice had never
smelled a bobcat before, so I wonder what reservoir of instinct caused them
to say, "Oh, shucks, I smell the urine of a bobcat, we better leave!" (I
have been told that mice are very careful with their language even when
confronted with a smelly bobcat. This is one of those surprises that just
brightens up a day.
How much would Jay Leno pay for this story?
