The title is, unusually, four questions. Another unusual aspect of this article is that it is extremely short because the answers which I have provided to the above questions are one word in each instance, as follows:
- Do bobcats make good pets? NO
- Do bobcats eat cats? NO (qualified – please click this link for more)
- Do bobcats live in UK? NO
- Do bobcats attack humans? NO
I want out a quick qualifier to the second question which asks whether bobcats eat cats (presumed to mean “domestic cats”). The question does not asked whether a bobcat can eat a domestic cat, it asked whether bobcats do eat domestic cats, hence the answer is No. A bobcat is capable of attacking and killing a domestic cat but they don’t or it is so rare as to be insignificant. Wrong? Tell me, please.
Rarely, there may be someone in America who has a bobcat as a pet. That does not mean that they make good pets. The truth is that no wild cat species no matter how well domesticated makes a good pet. Some wild cats make better pets than others but they never make as good a pet as a domestic cat.
Note: the questions are search terms thrown up by Google. People use these questions when seeking info.
Well said Monica. I totally agree of course. I have met so called domesticated servals and they really are not pets in any shape or form. It is just madness to think these wild cats can be successful pets. Thanks for commenting.
