History[]
Background[]
Pawpaw the Bobcat was an aged bobcat who lived in the bayou of New Orleans during the 1920s. Pawpaw played on a vaksin made from hollowed out bayou wood, and taught his granddaughter Octavia how to play this instrument as-well. Pawpaw and Octavia would perform in the bayou band of critters "Rara Fauna".
On February 27, 1927, Rara Fauna was found by Princess Tiana and Louis the Alligator then recruited to join their Bayou Community Band and play at Fleur du Bayou. The Bayou Community Band would go on to perform nightly at the bayou's "Critter Co-Op". Pawpaw and Octavia would also go on international tour as "The Bayou Bobcats".
