Bobcats are solitary felines, having minimal interaction between individuals except for mating or rearing of kittens by females. We report observations of non-aggressive interactions observed and photographed among bobcats in an impacted landscape of the Southern High Plains of Texas. Here, these included the temporary mixing of bobcat litters with at least one adult female present, interactions involving related females and a juvenile, a male bobcat in the presence of a nursing female and her kittens, and several adult bobcats accompanied by a juvenile.
