(Taken from a second floor window. Oh and, "THAT" Bobcat had paws as big as my hands.
I think if you would have seen it you wouldn't want to walk right up to it. However they are not as menacing as say a Cougar or Lion. Then again we tend to hear worse stories about those than we do about Bobcats. I did know a girl once that had a few long scars on her arm, and when I asked how she got them she said she had stuck her arm into a cage containing a recently caught Bobcat that was set to be released into the wild. Apparently she tried to pet the thing to calm it down, and the scars were the result of that bad decision.....
