Find a Bobcat, You're On Your Own

If you've spotted another Leif Bearickson or even a cougar--not that type of cougar--lurking in your backyard, feel free to give the Washington State Fish and Wildlife critter-catchers a call. But as for a bobcat? You are on your own, say Fish and Wildlife officials. They recently told a Bellevue woman she had to fend for herself and hire a nuisance control company to remove the furry bobcat that's been hanging out behind her home.

    Scared of a bobcat? Really? They're the size of a small- to medium-sized dog (16-30 pounds). They hunt small animals, but as they are quite skittish of humans it's unlikely that one would come after a pet. The only slightly scary thing about them is the scream they make sometimes, which is guaranteed to freak out six-year-olds camping in the woods.
