Here’s a bobcat kitten in Utah who is cute but fierce and might not exactly be on Santa’s “Nice List” this year!
Caught eating chickens in Kanarraville, the bobcat kitten quickly earned the nickname “Mr. Murderbritches” from his “fans” on the internet. That is to say, he’s shown giving wildlife officers a handful upon his humane release back into the wild.
Mr. Murderbritches was set to be released back into the wild outside of town. And he was not shy about showing the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources officers who was cute but fierce around these parts!
Watch yo’ fingers if you want to take them with you into the future–sheesh!
Here’s the original video that was posted in November to their Twitter account–be sure your sound is on for this little firecracker!

So while this video is amusing to us, it also serves as a true testament to how these gorgeous but fierce cats are not meant to be kept as pets.
Too often in the United States people who admire wild cats think it’s a good idea to make these wild cats into pets. And Mr. Murderbritches is here to set things straight! I am not a pet!

While Mr. Murderbritches has likely soon forgotten about us on his mission to slay all the chickens, we won’t soon forget about him.
And apparently, he’s even up for a reward as “Utanh of the Year”!
Released to their Facebook page, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources made the fun announcement.
They’re encouraging fans of Mr. Murderbritches to pay him the respect he deserves by casting their ballot for this bad boy kitten:
But one thing is for sure, he’s got my vote! #VoteMurderbritches
Big Cats Don’t Make Good Pets!

I have my own domestic “murderbritches”, in the form of a deceptively sweet-looking grey kitty. After two eventful years, she has been officially downgraded to “Miss Crankypants”. Word of advice: this experience has taught me that anyone who thinks they can tame any wild cat, has enough challenge in owning a cranky DOMESTIC kitty! Trust me!
Going back in the cage kinda broke my heart.
He appears almost to want to stay in the cage. Kind of sad in a way. I’ve known of people to have Bobcat and domestic cat mixes.
i know someone who rescued a kitten attacked by a bobcat she was lucky despite very severe injuries to survive https://www.facebook.com/Bobbi-the-Survivor-816745158403834/?tn-str=k*F
