With a gray to brown coat, whiskered face, and black-tufted ears, the bobcat resembles the other species of the mid-sized Lynx genus. It is smaller than the Canada lynx, with which it shares parts of its range, but is about twice as large as the domestic cat. It has distinctive black bars on its forelegs and a black-tipped, stubby tail, from which it derives its name. – from Wikipedia
In my meditation this morning, the animal that knocked to come in was “Bobcat”. She offered that she had some thoughts to share, and that her kind will be showing up as guides for more and more people. She said that Bobcat has even been accepted as a “pet” in some homes, although, in her mind, the Bobcat moved in as a guardian.
She says:
- Look to us as guides about being adaptable to environment. We inhabit wooded areas, as well as semi-desert, urban edge, forest edges, and swampland environments. You think that you can survive in only one place. Begin to experiment with being in different areas.
- Find a healthy food that agrees with you, and eat mostly that food. Your body will become healthier, leaner, and better able to support you. You will be immune to diseases that plague others that eat a multitude of different, unhealthy foods.
- Understand the time of day that provides you with the most energy. Bobcat moves when our prey is active - from just before sunset to midnight, and again for about three hours around dawn. If your work does not fit your sleep pattern, perhaps you should change your work, or, simply ask for a different schedule.
- Our coat is multi-coloured so that we camouflage easily in all terrain. How do you camouflage yourself?
Blessings,
