A well-mannered bobcat knows not to mouth its humans, and certainly is aware if it's teeth are offering danger to its humans. Ours have never even mouthed us. But if the worst happens and you are bit, well, you'll live, and hopefully you will learn from the experience and it won't have to be repeated. That's part of the appeal of these magnificent creatures - they are potentially dangerous, they are willful, and yet, they have given their love to you, their surrogate parent human. You have forged a very special relationship - it must be constantly nurtured and you must understand you cat completely if you are to maintain a safe relationship.
Bobcats are a lifetime commitment.
Generally they are less stranger-friendly as adults and form a bond of trust only with the humans they know personally. Therefore they are less transferable as adults and you will find it hard in most cases to find another home for your discarded pet. Bobcats are adaptable, intelligent, tenacious creatures - that's why they are not yet endangered in the wild. We got into bobcats two years ago. He was the start of eleven year association with dozens of different cougars and today we house and care for nine resident cougars.
