My bet is that the bobcat was rabid. Normally, bobcats bite only what they plan to eat, or they bite when cornered and are engaging in self defense. The behavior described of the bobcat in this story is abnormal.

You don't have to go camping to be around bobcats. I live about 24 miles from the heart of downtown Los Angeles, and have seen a bobcat in my own backyard; one of my brothers has lived for decades where bobcats are plentiful, and while "Bad Bob," as he calls any resident bobcat, has gotten more than one of his domestic pet cats, Bad Bob has never once bitten any person or dog in the area; on the contrary, Bad Bob has gone out of his way to avoid such confrontations.

She’s very lucky Finny. Usually they go for the back of the neck.
