In reply to the discussion: Big cat roaming Detroit streets killed by Local Asshole with Gun, thrown in trash [View all]Warpy
(111,476 posts)61. I've held long conversations with the bobcat
in the big cat habitats at the local zoo, to the amusement of the handlers.
I can't imagine being frightened of one but there's no way I'd try to keep one as a pet, either.
My favorite feline is the Manul, housecat sized and with incredibly thick, luxurious coats, but if you try to pet one, he's likely to rip your arm off and beat you to death with it.

It is not that I don't believe "you", I don't believe that you actually investigated the issue.
