A couple live in my old backyard’s woods. I used to call the cops because the bus stop is right at the corner and all of these kids are right there and this bobcat is just sitting there licking its chops...cops would just tell me to stop calling “cat was here first”.

I said I just want it moved out of the area, not killed you idiots.

I’m pretty sure a call like that around here WOULD result in Texas Parks and Wildlife coming out to trap the thing, no problem. It’s their animal after all. Hell, they’ll come get turtles if you have to drain a pond.

You must be joking.

I'd just respond to "it was here first" with, 'Well, I'm also YOUR boss and since you seem to taking up for the 'first resident,' try getting HIM pay your salaries, union dues and retirement!!! See you in the bread lines guys."

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?

If you see a bobcat near your home, there is no need to panic. Bobcats rarely attack people. However, if a bobcat does attack a human, it generally will have symptoms of rabies.

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