Bobcats weigh about 15 pounds.“

Yeh, don’t know where these people are located. But, it’s not texas. I live in the DFW are in texas, God Bless Texas. There are bobcats all over the place. Hardly a day goes by that there’s not bobcat videos posted on NextDoor from somebody’s security camera. By the way, do your Google search and you’ll only find a few incidents of a bobcat attack. One was rabid, another was some idiot tried to catch one that had strayed in his garage with a dip net. Another was when a person out walking inadvertently got between mom and babies. However, not only do bobcats eat rats, squirrels, rabbits and such they also enjoy small dogs and house cats on occasion. Also, hawks and owls enjoy small pets for snacks. Bottom line; these predators are thriving and adjusting to suburban life very well.
I lived in Houston for ten years. Saw lots of bobcats and coyotes. Barker Reservoir had some fabulous catfishing.

Thats crazy!
Every once in awhile, a bobcat walks through my backyard.
A couple of weeks ago, one of my father’s cats barely survived a bobcat attack. Said cat is recovering and is now an indoor cat.
