An environmental activist on Sunday recalled translating a young bobcat’s actions for an amusing video showing the spirited critter’s release 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 stated on X. “This cat’s wild spirit then went viral and inspired millions to be feisty as hell.”
The accompanying footage, first published by the Center for Biological Diversity in 2018, contains McFadden’s sometimes salty translations as the kitten, being relocated after dining on ranch chickens, sparred with his well-meaning handlers.

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