WEST PALM BEACH, FL (CNN) - The search continues for a bobcat that attacked a Florida woman this week.
A man on Friday spotted an animal, believed to be the same bobcat the bit the woman in the leg.
The woman was attacked at her home on Thursday, and her husband came to the rescue.
"It came from the neighbor, jumped his fence, came across the road, bit my wife by the mailbox, jumped my fence, came under here, got my puppy, came in my garage, and attacked my puppy again. I hit it with a four-by-four, and then a broom," Rick Arnold said.
The victim got a series of rabies shots at a hospital, and is now back at home.

For a short time we had a panther living across the street. he was eating the wild hogs and deer.
Now we just have bobcats, otter, raccoons, possum, herons, and the hogs the panther missed.
Cats are a whole 'nuther kettle of fish. They don't fight fair and have more weapons than dogs. At least they use more weapons. I don' wanna fight no cats...period...unless the cat weighs less than ten pounds or is really, really sick yet sans rabies.

“I live in Arkansas and every time I walk my dogs, or walk to the mail box I have my S&W Mod 29 in 44 Mag on my hip. You know; just in case.”
I didn’t realize that there are bears in Arkansas.
If called by a panther,
Don’t anther.........

I tend to share this attitude. As an avid cyclist I have been chased by dogs many times. They can sense fear, but they also know when you don't show any. I'll jump off the bike if an attack seems imminent (and it is a dog I can't out sprint) and bow up at him, yelling and posturing aggressively, and so far that has always shut them down. Except one big old hound out in the country in Arkansas. He didn't seem impressed so I had to give him a whiff of pepper spray. That did it.
Cats, not so easy to scare away. Think of an 80 lb. bobkitty, probably not going to attack you. Now, a 180 lb. mountain lion, you better be armed and ready. Those things are solid muscle and fighting spirit.
Rabis?
LOL I broke my coccyx once, it involved my Siberian Husky, a snow disk and too many Harvey Wallbangers. Most painful thing to break. Cannot cast it....
I once kissed a girl on the veranda.
I was out hunting for hog and think I saw a panther a short way off through the trees. It was just a shadow about 50-75 yds off through the thick brush and trees.
I was praying he wasn’t stalking me. There is no way I would see him coming if he chose me for dinner.
Was she cute?
That's the same thing as killing it.
Relocated animals rarely survive.
How would you fare if somebody snatched you off the street and dropped you off a few hundred miles from home?
Wish I was...even have pictures of the cat sitting there licking its paws in the early morning sunlight. It happened 3 times...all 3 times I was told the same thing...the cats were here first and the local building was scaring them out of their hiding spots...that they will just go find another place and that my phone calls were noted and not necessary.
Pretty fine actually in the modern world.
How would you do there?
Can't be my mother then. My father passed away in 1994.

Did the cats call and complain when you moved there. You know they probably did not like the smell. LOL
