On Friday, 9 April, 2021, Happy and Kristi Wade were going about a normal morning routine, as shown by their security video. Happy can be seen setting a cup of coffee on the hood of his car, and placing a box of sweets in the back seat.
His wife Kristi comes out. She hears a cat growling. She takes a step back, and a bobcat attacks her from behind. Screaming, she darts between the two family vehicles, with the bobcat biting as it climbs up her back.
Her husband, Happy, comes to her aid. She turns around, and he grabs the bobcat off of her as it nears her neck.
Holding the cat above his head, he suffers three bites until he throws the cat across the yard. After throwing the cat, he draws his concealed pistol, pursues the cat, and shoots it to prevent it from attacking another neighbor.
Later, it is reported the cat had previously stalked a different neighbor, earlier that morning. From wdbj7.com:
WECT reported, Kristi received a number of puncture wounds, scratches and was bitten several times. Happy is then seen grabbing the bobcat and carries it away onto his front lawn.
“I just remember seeing this face and it was trying to bite her right there in the side of the neck,” Happy said. “And so I shoved my arm in and that’s how I ended up with it like this [above his head].”
Happy said he was bit by the bobcat three times before he was able to throw it.
“I thought: ‘I’ll throw it this way,’” Happy said. “Two options: one, it’ll see an escape route and it’ll take off or it’ll stop just a moment where I can get a good shot at it.”

Husband grabs, throws, shoots, HE SCORES!
His name is “Happy”?
No way would i have kept that as a first name after age 18.
But some families are different.
Wasn’t there a Happy Rockerfeller at one time? She was from the wealthy family.
Thirty rabies shots each for the husband and wife...
The video would be hilarious if that damn bobcat wasn’t rabid. Looks like a Python sketch.
The rabies shots are going to be awful. Thank God though for the quick thinking husband

Figures, rabid.
Bobcats, coyotes, mountain lions, possum, skunks, gophers, roadrunners, egrets, hawks, owls, eagles, rattlesnakes where I live. They can get aggressive, such as when going after your dog or cat for a snack, but mostly want to be left alone.
Beware of a cat named Bob with rabbies. He’s after your babe.
Bobcats’ Lives Matter.
I thought there was a new treatment for rabies...............
Why couldn’t he just shoot the teeth out of its mouth?
Why didn’t he just call the cops? Nobody needs a gun.
...Joe Biden
I hope he had a license and proper trigger locks and so forth on the gun and it was properly registered because otherwise this man is a danger to society and belongs in jail. In fact, he was likely infected by rabies. I don’t think rabid individuals should be carrying firearms. And... was it a semi-automatic assault pistol? Just common sense gun laws - that’s all we ask.
Sure sounds like the “old treatment”; shots in the stomach. Not a fun day.
That sounds like something Whoopie would say on The View. Followed by applause from idiots in her audience.
Poor kitty. It must have been sick or something. I hope they checked for kits? Maybe it had a litter it was trying to feed or protect?
I am glad he was able to finish it off before it hurt anyone else. They are going to need rabies shots, which will hurt!
