Best Answer

Bobcats like to den under fallen logs or under the root mass of a fallen tree. When the mother has babies, she has to find a dry den that her babies will be safe in. In the spring, two or three kittens are born. Only the mother takes care of them. As they grow, she will bring live animals (like mice) back to the den, so the kittens can practice hunting. When the kittens are two months old, they don't need milk any more and can eat grown-up food. They stay with their mother until the fall. By then, they are half-grown and weigh about twelve pounds. They are ready to live on their own. Bobcats live to be ten or twelve years old.

i use to own bobcats so i would say that im pretty much an expert on their habits.

from my understanding the mother bobcat, once it has birthed the baby bobcats will keep them in the next until they are about three weeks old or so. all the while the mother is out getting food and then comes back and vomits the food back in the babies mouth. once the bobcats are ready to fly they will sometimes fall out of the nest area but the mother bobcat is there to catch them and help them learn again. eventually the baby bobcats learn to fly and they abandon the nest and their mother for bigger and better lives.

sometimes i get bobcats and birds confused but im pretty sure that's right.
