RAMONA HAS A PET BOBCAT
You can sense the strength in Bobby’s front legs and shoulders. The
sound that he makes comes from way down deep inside and scares
away the faint of heart. Even polecats are afraid of Bobby.

Bobby is the pet bobcat belonging to Ramona Werst of Mertzon. When
her husband took her to the place that sells bobcats, she chose Bobby
because he was so playful.
“When you get a bobcat as a baby and bottle feed him, he’ll bond with
you,” says Ramona. “He doesn’t know he’s a bobcat. In fact, he would
be a disgrace to bobcats. He’s afraid of mice.”
I sat down with Ramona and Bobby and we had a nice visit. Ramona
says Bobby is spoilt rotten.
“When I was bottle feeding him, he used to get me up at two o’clock in
the morning for his bottle, then do the same thing at four o’clock and
six o’clock. Now we have an automatic feeder that comes open for him
at two o’clock and six o’clock. He likes that a lot.”

Thank you for supporting the Children's Wish Foundation. Your generous gift will provide the resources necessaij
to make wishes come true for children whose life expectancy has been cut desperately short, children like ..
...Matthew, 11, who has acute lymphocytic leukemia. His wish was to meet David Copperfield and spend
time with him.
. Jennifer. 4. who has neuroblastoma. Jennifer wished for a shopping spree at Toys R Us.
...Robert. 7, who has cy stic fibrosis. Robbie wanted a big computer complete with his favorite software and a
pnnter.
For most of us. childhood holds fond memories of playing catch or of days at the beach. But for many children,
there will never be pleasant memories, only memories of hospital stays. ArCWFI, we hope in some small way roti
the unfairness in tic life of a child wuh a life threatening illness. Ln our cy cs. die greatest tragedy is when a childc
dream dreams but is denied the chance to pursue them.
She got the bobcat five years ago.
By agreeing to help with this labor of love through your generous support, you're bringing a smile to a child's
facc-and the memory of a lifetime.
“He was small enough to fit in the palm of my hand, just a little bitty
baby. Now he weighs around forty-five pounds.”
Wishing,you much happiness.Arthur J. Stein. President/CEO
The bobcat lives in a fenced in area beneath a second-story deck.
“He’s got a ramp that leads directly into our bedroom. He can come and
go anytime he wants to. In his space under the deck he’s got his own
jungle gym, an igloo that’s got a blanket in it and all kinds of balls to
play with.”
P S Won't you volunteer at a local children's hospital or ask your child's school to create cards for sick children in
y our community ’

When visitors come, Bobby goes away.
“We’ll show Bobby to our guests, then lock him up in our bedroom and
his pen. We do that in case he doesn’t like a scent. Or he might be
hungry.”
Bobby has a domestic house cat for a brother. He thinks the pet dog is
his mother. He plays fetch with a tennis ball and tug of war with a sock.
When he’s playing tug of war, he sounds ferocious. His growls would
make most people head for the door. Bobby has a special diet.
“Every three weeks my husband David and I have to chop up raw liver,
raw hamburger and cat food and mix it all together and freeze it.
Bobby’s a little particular. He has to have his food just a little bit
frozen.”
At night, Bobby sleeps with Ramona in spite of his loud purring. “He
sleeps right on top of me from my shoulders to my stomach..” She says
she’s never been afraid. When he misbehaves, she smacks him on the
nose.
