Are these bobcats flirting or yelling at each other? Colorado video captures encounter

It turns out even bobcats might have a little trouble communicating what they want when it comes to love.

Retired biology teacher Robyn Sloan captured two bobcats in love Jan. 29. The two bobcats spotted each other, and once they got talking, it seemed like they couldn’t stop.

“Valentine’s Day, bobcat-style: Communication is key,” the Center for Biological Diversity said on Facebook. “In this video two bobcats negotiate a date via head-bobbing yowls, rapid tail twitching and awkward pauses. The female is the gray cat and the male is the red (rufous) one.”

Sloan captured the video of the bobcats from her home northeast of Lyons, Colorado, she said on Vimeo.
