A friend of mine has a bobcat and 3 kittens living on her property...At first the cat was very reclusive but has appeared to have become more daring and can be seen during the day. She has 2 small dogs (maybe 10 lbs each) and is extremely concerned with their well being. DO you ahve any suggestions within the legal realm that we can undertake?

THanks

If this is in NJ, PROCEDE WITH CAUTION! Bobcats are protected in this state.

You might want to consult NJDF&W for advice on this one.[up]

Yes it is in NJ. I was thinking the same thing.

State F&W may be able to trap and transfer. Call them first!

In case anyone is wondering I fully beleive the cat should be left alone. But, im being pressured.

I fully beleive the cat should be left alone

[up] i dont think they will harm the dogs but if they have chickens thats a diferent story, i myself think bobcats are some of the coolest critters in this state. i wish i had a family of bobcats living on my property lol. where is this?

keep the dogs inside, the cat will move soon enough.

Call the state and let them handle it.
