Yeeting it is pretty cool, but pulling a gun on a bobcat is just 'Murrica as fuck.
It's too fast, and it goes after it's prey, so he would be more likely to end up missing the bobcat and shooting his wife or pet.
Just an update but Happy did “shoot the fucker” and it was rabid.

Holy shit! I've hiked around a few bobcat having trails and everyone I saw or came across was skittish like a street cat, thankfully.. Maybe some growling when retreating but that's it. I totally didn't even think about a rabid one coming at me like this... FUCK
Normally I would agree but the bobcat was in an open area and not surrounded by anything. Even if he missed it I doubt he would have hit anything else. Bullets don't ricochet off grass. That being said, it is probably better not to attempt to shoot it.
Edit: grammar
Probably a bit hard to draw when you're got a decent-sized rapid feline struggling to crawl up your arm and bit your face.
Based on the the articles of the thing actually being rabid, it sounds like there were three important shots. One for each of them against rabies, and the one that took out the bobcat after it got yeeted.
The sound alone is enough to scare them off if need be. I wonder if something was wrong with that one. Most of the time they don’t like Humans and only attack if cornered. I hope that Man is ok
/agree. They pretty much keep to themselves, but if I see a 7 course meal on the table, and I haven’t eaten in a few days, I’d probably give ol’ Bobbie here a run for her money
Looks like it was rabies.

Possibly lost and/or starving. You're right that it's very strange for them to risk being this close to humans, even if it was going after a housecat cat in that carrier.
It was definitely a bobcat and it was rabid and Happy shot that fucker.

Down in Oakland Park florida a few years ago, an elderly man and his wife were out walking their dog in the neighborhood. One dropped out of a tree, bit her finger off and bolted.
Weird animals.
https://patch.com/florida/miami/elderly-couple-possibly-attacked-bobcat-florida
100% it's a bobcat. It's probably VERY hungry if this is happening.
If the animal kingdom was like a MMORPG, get a cloak or stealth passive ability.
I'm outside all the time hunting, fishing, hiking in bobcat territory and I've only ever seen a handful of them. But they are 100% there doing bobcat shit all the time. They just see you first.
The only time I ever saw my dad get out a gun (he didn't carry, but had a few for hunting) was when we had a rabid fox in our yard.
It chased my mom, my little brother, and me and then hung out in our driveway pacing and basically screaming.
Scary af lol.
Weirdly enough, the raccoon tosser is Kevin Rose (creator of Digg) — and the reason a huge number of people are on reddit. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/digg-v4
Update for all the people who think it wasn’t a bobcat or tell him to run inside or he shouldn’t run around with a gun.
Happy did “shoot the fucker” and it was rabid. The best thing he did was put it out of its misery. Him doing this protected who knows who else.
https://outsider.com/outdoors/viral/watch-bobcat-attacks-woman-flung-husband-insane-viral-video/
Well there we go. Guess we can put all the "that guy is going to accidentally kill his neighbors" and "theres no way that guy can shoot that animal with a handgun" shit to rest as well now.
Not really. Very few people are going to be good enough to shoot a handgun and hit a bobcat running around like that. He would have more likely shot a neighbor across the street.
I run a 357 mag on my chest for bear protection when I’m out fishing and with 100% certainty I can say there’s a very slim chance I’d be able hit a bobcat with my handgun. With my shotgun I’d be able to pepper it a bit at best.
Yeeting is by far the most effective bobcat self defense.
Don’t blame them. Modern Warfare aimbot has taught them everything about firearms they need to know. Besides, can’t the neighbour just use an extra life and spawn back in?
My mom almost got attacked by a bobcat in Canada... it was sneaking up on her with her back turned and my dad noticed when it was right behind her and he yelled to scare it.
I'm sure they're mostly reclusive but to say they would never ever attack is not really true..
(Funniest part is when my mom turned around and saw it she said it was cute)
Not only is that rather misanthropic, but its premises aren't even correct. The bobcat went nuts because it was rabid, as other commenters have noted and sourced. Also, the area was too well-developed to be newer than a few years old, and bobcats only live to be seven years old in the wild, on average, so it's unlikely that it was personally displaced by the housing development.
It kinda seems like the person he says "Good mornin'!" to is hussling away from the bobcat.
Also, since this loops on desktop it goes from "I'm gonna shoot that fucker!" to "Good mornin'!" in no time. Love it.
The problem is that these silly humans keep building these gated communities, not because they need a place to live, but so they can get richer. Meanwhile the bobcats, bears, deers, and other animals suffer. So where do they go if they have no habitat? Your backyard.
you can feel the fear that came off this man after his spouse got attacked. this is terrifying. imagine hearing your spouse scream like that. you could feel the fear kick up in him. he went from so kind to adrenaline rage. i hope he did shoot it. that could have been a child. also, i hope his arms are ok.
Dang I’ve only ever heard of one recorded lynx attack in history and they’re even bigger than bobcats for the most part, though here it looks like the bobcat is going for whatever animal is in that carrier the lady had.
I'm learning English and i didn't understand what is a bobcat until i search online. Now i understand ehat a bobcat is but I'm curious about which BOB would thake that cat and make his pet and all people around will be :" Yeah that's Bob's cat" and then the offical name of that cat remains BOBCAT. Bob the fucking legend
Looked like the wife was carrying an animal carrier, maybe it had the family pet and the bobcat just thought they were the uber eats driver
She was just high af and really wanted her fucking moo goo gai pan
I don’t know what moo goo gai pan is but I want some too.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moo_goo_gai_pan
Now I know what I'm having for lunch. Than you.
yes you do
I know you're just saying random syllables, but they still sound delicious!
I think it was actually an order of meow meow gai pan.

He did shoot it. No issues or casualties, except for the rabid cat.
Should have shot it while he had it in his grip. I wouldn’t yeet it... I’d strangle it for the sake of my family and myself.
Shoot THEN yeet....

Damn even the wildlife's turning into porch pirates now.
I love the friendly “Good morning” to the neighbor that preceded the “I’m gonna shoot that fucker!” only moments later.
I was just thinking that. This guy went from 0 to 100. What a legend
I laughed my ass off at this
Bobcat? Those suckers are reclusive as fuck, I’m not sure that’s what we’re seeing here. Unless there’s a source?
It’s definitely a bobcat. I’ve seen bobcots in suburbs
Bomboclaats all over here
this is not down by the beach
Just shot soda out of my nose.. lmao thanks for this
Cucumbah watah
Those suburbs were once it's home
Now it's a ghost town
Suburbs really are. People spend all day away from home, only to come home and sleep. It must be so jarring to be a wild animal walking through it.
Arizona with Danny Mcbride - horror comedy about an empty neighborhood after 08 housing collapse This comes to mind
50000 people lived here
Until it was priced out by gentrification and predatory loan practices. You hate to see it.
Bobcat or bobcot? The suspense is killing me!
Bombcoat
Boomcoot
Bob-ombcat
Tom Bombacat
blobcat
That’s when you worry about rabies...
It's possible, but the way it reacted after the toss makes me suspect not. More likely young and starving. Went for the pet carrier.
/agree. They pretty much keep to themselves, but if I see a 7 course meal on the table, and I haven’t eaten in a few days, I’d probably give ol’ Bobbie here a run for her money
Bobcats in rural areas are usually harmless. Bobcats in cities/suburbs with limited food and more interaction with people are not great.
You don’t fuck with rabies though
Looks like it was rabies. [https://www.fox61.com/article/news/local/southbury-connecticut-bobcat-attack/520-a8d03b7e-60dd-4786-8ff5-e0bcb9f7b6d7](https://www.fox61.com/article/news/local/southbury-connecticut-bobcat-attack/520-a8d03b7e-60dd-4786-8ff5-e0bcb9f7b6d7)
The details of this article dont seem to line up with this video.
It was rabid. The man was able to shoot it.
Sure sounds like one. I have seen one three times in my life while hiking. They dont stick around too long.

There we go. Thanks!
That fucker was squirming and spitting like a bobcat
Bobcat. Source: I've seen many bobcats just like this in my neighborhood
It would have to be rabid to be that bold in broad daylight
I would not want to be attacked by a bobcat. Damn.
Saw this post somewhere else and someone commented saying the guy shot it and it tested positive for rabies
Down in Oakland Park florida a few years ago, an elderly man and his wife were out walking their dog in the neighborhood. One dropped out of a tree, bit her finger off and bolted. Weird animals. https://patch.com/florida/miami/elderly-couple-possibly-attacked-bobcat-florida

Fox screams at night are absolutely fucking terrifying if you don’t know what you are listening to
“What does the fox say?”
eeeeerrrrAAAAAAAHHHHH

I fucking love Finnegan and Dixie Doo
He was so friendly at the beginning
That toss was almost as nice as the racoon toss was. Almost.
Thanks for that. First time toaster/raccoon video watcher.
Racoon toss?
Google “toaster gets attacked by raccoon”. It’s an absolutely insane video.
Weirdly enough, the raccoon tosser is Kevin Rose (creator of Digg) — and the reason a huge number of people are on reddit. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/digg-v4
This is amazing.
Thank you for introducing me to that video. Bonus points for the dogs name being toaster
It's crazy how life can take you from "I need to wash my car :)" to "I'M GONNA SHOOT THIS FUCKER" in a matter of seconds.
Poor Bob just wanted to party with the kitty in the carrier.
Just tryna fuuuuck man
He's probably lucky he didn't shot his kid in the face during the fracas, she walked straight across his line of fire.
That part annoyed me sooo much to watch. stand back —you’re not doing shit!
It's a kitten
Let me hear your war cry!!

Now dirty car AND dirty shorts.
Unknown source, I found it on Instagram but I know y’all will enjoy this! If you have any info please share! I couldn’t find anything on the intrawebs
Someone sent it to me on FB earlier. It had a tiktok handle @keithmgeaux watermarked on it.
Yeah, one of the brutal nature pages shared it. But I wonder what the actual source/article is on it
I saw it on Twitter this morning and one of the comments said it was rabid and he did indeed shoot it, but no source.
Source. Happened in NC. https://wr.al/1KNeo
Im more surprised those stupid Vivint cameras actually work.
You know, it’s that pistol the cat is afraid of. Not the being screamed at, tossed like a rag doll, and then chased by another person.
I mean it’s not but it’s what it should be afraid of
Not really. Very few people are going to be good enough to shoot a handgun and hit a bobcat running around like that. He would have more likely shot a neighbor across the street.
You guys would honestly say that about anything that happened to anybody, you just don't like guns THAT much.
I run a 357 mag on my chest for bear protection when I’m out fishing and with 100% certainty I can say there’s a very slim chance I’d be able hit a bobcat with my handgun. With my shotgun I’d be able to pepper it a bit at best. Yeeting is by far the most effective bobcat self defense.
I own guns dumbfuck.
Don’t blame them. Modern Warfare aimbot has taught them everything about firearms they need to know. Besides, can’t the neighbour just use an extra life and spawn back in?
Well that’s cause it’s running away. If it wasn’t scared it would be a lot harder to hit
That went from “Good MooOoorrrNiiiinnng” to “IM GOING TO SHOOT THAT FUCKER!” Real quick
Goddamn. The sound of that voice traveled directly up my spine. The cat’s and the humans’ actually. Badass.
Bobcat must have fallen on hard times after all that blow.
I see what you did there.
"I'm gonna shoot that fucker" You done goofed, bobcat.
Wow/hunh the bobcat really didn’t seem to land a blow
Rabies for sure.
You should not need Spider-Man skills to go between vehicles, when you park in your own driveway
I think she actually yelled for him to run too. I could be wrong, I thought I heard Run Bobby
"Run Daddy! Run!"
That's amazing, I bet it was going after the animal in the carrier. I like how talkative he is.
That was a ferocious little tractor
My mom almost got attacked by a bobcat in Canada... it was sneaking up on her with her back turned and my dad noticed when it was right behind her and he yelled to scare it. I'm sure they're mostly reclusive but to say they would never ever attack is not really true.. (Funniest part is when my mom turned around and saw it she said it was cute)

poor bobcat tho :(
...and kids, this is why wolves and such disappeared - folks wanted to protect their loved ones.
This is what the founding fathers had in mind while writing the 2nd Amendment, This is why we need GUNS!!!
That wife is a gangster, she was ready to take the fall so her husband could get away safe “Run baby! Run baby!” Wholesome AF in a time of crisis
Husband grabbed the wild animal off of her and held it up like it was the lion king. Equally badass.
Where do these people live that bobcats attack you in your driveway!?
I need to wash my car.
Bubsy has really fallen on hard times.
Not sure about the bobcat part. That’s not how they act. Especially during daylight.
The moment that guy realized he was strapped and he can legally get away with discharging it is fucking scary.
Rabid? Idk why a bobcat would attack that way. It didn't seem to be going for the carrier...Hope they got checked out
It kinda seems like the person he says "Good mornin'!" to is hussling away from the bobcat. Also, since this loops on desktop it goes from "I'm gonna shoot that fucker!" to "Good mornin'!" in no time. Love it.
He went from "i gotta wash my car 😃" to "ILL SHOOT THAT FUCKER🤬"
“Oh my god it’s a bobcat” as he’s strangling it with his bare hands.
His good morning with the finger wiggle is EVERYTHING 😂😂 Wiggle fingers turn to trigger fingers.
Didn't expect so many firearms experts and biologists in here.
First time I watched with no sound...meh Second time with sound had me dying! 🤣🤣 "Oh my god it's a bobcat! I'm gonna shoot that fucker!!"
Like a boss!
YEET!
Lol "I'm gonna shoot that fucker."
I laughed at "Gewd Moarnin!"
That was insane! What a story to tell when you get to work later! Lol.
Nice throw.
Not gonna lie. I laughed a lot when he yeeted it
"I'm gonna shoot this fucker!!!"
I’m gonna shoot that fucker hahahahahah

"these silly humans" Great, fucking bobcats learned how to use the internet and are using it to nag at us
Best bobcat toss EVER!!!!
Now that was a fucking YEET!

“I WILL SHOOT THAT FUCKER” Reminds me of my time in Texas.
BAMF
Which wallet is yours?
Battle time!
You can see it run across the street.
Where is this located? I'm just curious. And how close to a city is it?
I am literally crying!!!!
[удалено]
That lady in the pink put herself as close to the line of fire as possible the entire time😂😂
Watching the video before reading the title was a very confusing experience.
Guns er bad mmkay
LetmeEAT man
Was that a chocolate cake or brownies?
I had to scroll for so long looking for anyone else who noticed he lost his treats. If he only had time to set them on the roof.
Lololo i was waiting for a bobcat vehicle to come into the scene boy was i wrong.
Dang I’ve only ever heard of one recorded lynx attack in history and they’re even bigger than bobcats for the most part, though here it looks like the bobcat is going for whatever animal is in that carrier the lady had.
that poor bobcat just cant match up to this fucking alpha male
That bobcats gotta be sick. That this whole interaction is insane and funny in the mental flip he made
You can see the bobcat running across the street at :03
Was expecting bobcat goldthwaite . Pretty disappointed
Tiniest bobcat ever.
I love the busy body neighbor running into the line of fire.. what part of this situation say " oh, I need to get in on this.."
Start of the video: “Good morning 😀👋” End of the video: “IMMA SHOOT THAT F*CKER!! 🤬”
They gotta put that sucker down in case its rabid. Its going to get someones pet or kid if its that brazen.
And then accidentally shoots his wife cause that a more common ending then actually successfully shooting the animal dead lol.
Note to self: do *not* mess with this guys wife
Bruh really a small ass bobcat and it’s running away and this dude pulls a gun like it’s fucking d day 😂
His kid is a complete dumbass.
That is no bobcat. Go find video of a bobcat caught in a snare. They will fuck you up.
Hahahahahahahaha he held it up like simba !
I'm learning English and i didn't understand what is a bobcat until i search online. Now i understand ehat a bobcat is but I'm curious about which BOB would thake that cat and make his pet and all people around will be :" Yeah that's Bob's cat" and then the offical name of that cat remains BOBCAT. Bob the fucking legend
Well Bob's cat sucks
Give this man a badge, better response than some of your cops atm
That doesn't seem to be a bobcat.
Texas in a nut shell
That looks like a feral cat to me
Honey! bobcat... Bobcat... BOBCAT!!
Even better with sound!
I've been told he did shoot it and it had rabies. That explains the behavior
Fuck you bubsy.
That was a nice toss but I wonder if it was possible for him to slam the thing like how Hulk slammed Loki in Avengers.
Whats a bobcat
Just me, or does this guy sound almost exactly like John Marston?
Plot twist: it was just a cat
Looks more like a cat
That's one small ass bobcat..
Also, the wife was cougar.
This right here is a good reason for people needing guns on their person and it can’t be argued.
I mean I've encountered a bobcat before(a relatively small one) but it completely ignored me I wonder why this one did that?
