Trooper: The Bobcat's Incredible Journey from Wild to Tame

K. Fox: One of my favorite reads about wild animals from the unique perspective of the man who adopted and was adopted by a bobcat. I enjoyed his explanations of bobcat behavior and his first hand stories of life with Trooper. The reader doesn’t know what to expect next when Trooper experiences new adventures or other animals. The story of Trooper’s evolution is gripping and entertaining. I especially like how Trooper shared his food and water with “new friends.” Great read for animal lovers.

Danalee Lavelle: Not every cat or every person should be domesticated. Do it with care and great planning, it can be quite rewarding.

Ricky's Girl: Loved this book. So much so that I wish I lived closer to nature. Nature heals the soul. Gods animals are such gifts to us.... wish more of humanity recognized how much the earth and animals give to us. Humans think they can just clear cut forests for their own use, and hunt animals for fun.. that is so wrong.

Amazon Customer: I found this story intriguing in the way it investigates how bobcats live, communicate and understand other species. I had a few concerns about occasions when the author seemed to drift into fantasy

Veronica 👍: Trooper was very much a baby when Johnson found him in a cactus he was using for protection after Coyotes appeared to have killed his mother and littermates.
And so an adventure began for this amazing duo. Humans on meeting Trooper were never sure of the Bobcat kitten however he continued to surprise even those around him in a beautifully positive way. l would Highly Recommend this book to Anyone and Everyone as it is written so well as to be thoroughly entertaining.
R.I.P Trooper, you were one in a million! 🌹💜😻🐾🙏

Medusa1: I couldn’t put it down - so I read it in one go. It is a well written book and the adventures of Trooper the bobcat and his owner make an utterly fascinating, very touching and heartwarming read. I read it yesterday and the thought of Trooper is still with me - I can almost hear him pur.

healthysean: Firstly I must say I am an animal lover and also a softy with animal stories...

I fully understand the love and relationship between an owner and his loyal and loving pet, but a Bobcat is certainly a different type of pet!

The author tells this story with honestly, a lover of all animals, did not know what he was doing when he brought home a bobcat kitten. The stories of their life together with his family, the love, the stress, the decisions on a daily basis are heart warming and also frightening as you will see when you read this entertaining book.

The author explains so well his life, his work and how his life was changed by a pet with a complete
different character, and a personality that brings smiles to your face as you are reading.

Some interesting escapades throughout his time with Trooper, nineteen years together.

Told with honesty, humour and a great read and recommended.

The author now in his eighties and still living in Las Vegas, and I am sure with some cats !
