The Autopsy on the Bobcat

Showed that she had Feline Parvoviral Infection, also known as panleukopenia, which house cats can get as well. The poor girl had NO food in her stomach or intestine, and no feces either, which shows she hadn't eaten in awhile. Life in the wild is not easy for these cats, that's for sure.

While it isn't as dramatic as the snake bite theory, I'm glad that we didn't inadvertently kill her, since she ran under the tree to get away from us. I guess we just happened along when she was nearing the end, and she used her last bit of energy in her final run.

May she rest in peace.
