A baby bobcat is called a kitten. Just like domestic cats, bobcats give birth to kittens. These kittens are born blind and rely entirely on their mother for the first few weeks of their lives. As they grow, they start to explore their surroundings and learn essential survival skills from their mother.
Bobcat kittens typically stay with their mother for about 9 to 12 months before they become independent and venture out on their own. During this time, they learn how to hunt and navigate their environment, which are crucial skills for their survival in the wild.
