BOBCAT ATTACKS
Bobcat attacks on humans are extremely rare because they are very elusive, rarely out during the day, shy creatures who prefer to avoid the sights, sounds, and smells of humans. There has never been a single fatal bobcat attack on a human in all of recorded history, but thousands of people per year die from attacks by domestic cats and dogs.

How to stay safe if you spot a bobcat.
IF YOU DO SEE ONE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY, HERE'S WHAT TO DO:

1. Always secure children and pets inside, far away from the animal.
2. Keep a far distance.
3. Give the bobcat some space.
4. Make loud noises and try to make yourself appear larger.
5. Don't run or turn your back.

 

That is interesting, Pac. You almost hesitate going outdoors.

 

Things we take for granted just walking thru our gardens is now a troubling decision. I hope the wildlife division sends a live trapper out.

 

I hope they never come out with a hybrid between deer and stinging insects. That would be really scary!
