An environmental activist on Sunday recalled translating a young bobcat’s actions for an amusing video exhibiting the spirited critter’s launch into the wild.
“One of the highlights of my life was naming this chicken-poaching bobcat kitten Mr. Murderbritches and ‘translating’ his growls on video,” Russ McSpadden said on X. “This cat’s wild spirit then went viral and inspired millions to be feisty as hell.”
The accompanying footage, first printed by the Center for Biological Diversity in 2018, incorporates McFadden’s generally salty translations because the kitten, being relocated after eating on ranch chickens, sparred together with his well-meaning handlers.

After viewing the footage, many may share the sentiment expressed by the Center for Biological Diversity within the authentic video description:
“Long live Mr. Murderbritches!”
