Trooper: The Bobcat Who Came in from the Wild

Trooper: The Bobcat Who Came in from the Wild

â€œA charming memoir about a pet bobcat, its owner, family, and friends. Readers who enjoyÂ .Â .Â . Irene Pepperbergâ€™s Alex and Me, will find much to love hereâ€ (Library Journal).
Â
When desert tour guide Forrest Bryant Johnson went on his daily walks into the Mojave, all was usually peaceful and serene. But one beautiful summer day in 1987, Forrest heard a cry of distress. Following the cries, he came upon a small bobcat kitten who was injured, orphaned, and desperately in need of help. Forrest took his new feline friend homeâ€”just for a night. But the little â€œtrooperâ€ clearly needed more time to recoup, and that single night turned into a week, and eventually nineteen years. Trooper became a part of the Johnson family.
Â
Over the years, Trooper lived his nine lives to the fullest. He explored desert flora and fauna, befriending kit foxes, jackrabbits, and desert tortoises while getting into plenty of mischief along the way. Trooper became a â€œbig brotherâ€ to a stray tabby named Little Brother, as the pair embarked on adventures and misadventures. He became a beloved patient at his local vet, and cherished housemate of Forrestâ€™s wife, Chi. And Trooper even managed to melt the icy heart of a tough guy neighbor. But most of all, Trooper became Forrestâ€™s best friend, as the two shared each otherâ€™s worries, musings, joys and laughter.
Â
â€œHeartbreaking, warm, beautiful, and emotional, this story didnâ€™t just tug on my heart; it stole it. A must-read for any cat, or indeed animal, lover.â€ â€”Rachel Wells, author of A Cat Called Alfie
