We created a Rube Goldberg device to deliver his food without the presence of humans.  Attached to the side of his enclosure is a section of 3" pipe that sits perpendicular to the ground. At the top of the pipe is a lid that screws off, at the bottom of the pipe is a hatch door which slides out.  Attached to the handle of the hatch door is a rope that runs about 20' away from the enclosure.  The rope runs through a pulley attached to a post and then down to a bucket.  There a water hose timer can be programed to drip water into the bucket over the course of a half hour.  After a half hour there is enough water in the bucket to make it heavy enough to fall to the ground.  This pulls the rope, which pulls the handle, which opens the hatch releasing the food into the enclosure.  This device allows us to place the food, set the timer for 30 minutes, and leave the scene.  It is our hope that by removing ourselves from the scene this young bobcat will stop viewing humans as a source for food.
