BOBCAT IN HEAT URINE
Like many felines, Bobcats are solitary animals. The bobcat is extremely territorial and marks its boundaries with urine and droppings, as well as by digging up the ground. Like other cat species, when a bobcat approaches the scent mark of another, it raises its head with its mouth half open, and upper lip slightly withdrawn. This look gives the cat a grimacing or growl-like appearance. It will stand still, rotate its head, or appear to be staring. This behavior is called "flehmen". They will flehm after smelling any unusual odor. When they do this, they are not expressing any anger suggested by the growl-like look, but in fact activating an organ in the roof of the mouth behind the incisors. This organ is called the vomeronasal organ (VNO) or Jacobson's organ. You can see the openings to the VNO on your domestic cat. They are two small holes in a slightly raised area on the roof.
This organ allows the cat to detect molecules of substances called pheromones. Pheromones are too heavy to be inhaled and detected by typical nasal methods. Pheromones are found in the marking and birth fluids of cats. They provide a way that cats can identify each other more closely or determine if a female is in estrus, ready to mate.
Size: 4 FL. Oz.
