We are dedicating this #TipTuesday to all the turkeys out there. Friendly advice: lay low! We know you have a lot of pride and strut around like you own the place, but this time of year, it's best to keep a low profile. We're not saying you have to pack your bags and flee the country, but maybe consider hiding out in the woods for a little while. Perhaps you could all wear fake mustaches and glasses as a disguise? Whatever you decide, just remember: we humans are a persistent bunch when it comes to our Thanksgiving dinner. So, for your own safety, we suggest you stay out of sight until the holiday has passed. #Wecare #BobcatNation #Thanksgivingweek #YumYumYum #GobbleGobble
