The Bobcats at the Brandywine Zoo

This is Mia, who is about 14 years old.

And this is Mia's mom, otherwise known as "M&M" (which stands for "Mia's Mom").

M&M, who is 17 years old, rejected Mia at birth, so M&M and Mia have lived in adjacent exhibits at the Brandywine Zoo for a long time.

Sometimes, when M&M is near the fencing that separates the two exhibits, Mia comes over.

To an anthropomorphist like me, this appears to be an attempt to be get her mother to accept her after all these years.

But M&M just snarls and hisses.

It does not appear that she has had a chenge of heart.

Maybe tomorrow will be different.
