... bobcats are considered to be the “easiest” exotic feline to start with if the care of high-maintenance animals is your preference. Hand-raised animals are just simply not the same animals as those that roam in the wild, so pet bobcats are not “wild.”

...If a potential owner is willing to understand the non-domesticated behavior of an exotic feline species, Bobcats are one of the more rewarding exotic mammals to own and keep content in captivity.

...Bobcats are known for taking large prey relative to their size. Despite reaching a height around that of a medium-sized dog, they often hunt animals like deer with impressive skill. With such a capability, this may call for labeling bobcats as “potentially dangerous” to humans, however, outside of animals infected with rabies, there are few, if any, incidents of bobcat attacks, as well as no recorded deaths from them, wild or captive.

A forty pound tom bobcat will kill and eat a baby or toddler

And it’s happened with exotics

Nuts to think bobcats if raised in a home will be like a housecat

I think people at that site are dirt people naive about wild animals
