Bobcats are rather more common around here than mountain lions, though rarely seen. And when I do see them they’re usually receding over a rise as fast as they can slink.
The single exception was when the boys treed one, and it was very small – like a very large housecat – and clearly wanted no trouble. Please just go away.
So I think of bobcats as harmless curiosities on the rare occasions when I think of them at all.
At the moment I’m thinking maybe I’ve misjudged them…
For the record, I’ve caught a shark before. But I’d have gotten extra-special badass points if I’d done it with my teeth.
