“The bobcat went in. This was off outside and it pushed it in, got in through here, and then when it came down, it went back,” he said.Lichatz said they eventually captured it with help from a friend who is a licensed trapper and the animal was relocated.“They’re our pets, they’re our companions. They’re what people come down and see us,” Lichatz said.
A few days earlier, a bobcat attacked a man in Columbia after hiding under his truck. The man was able to kick it away. State wildlife officials said it’s rare for a bobcat to attack people as they will run away. When a bobcat does attack it is usually rabid.“Bobcats do go after poultry and stuff like that, so it’s not surprising that that could occur,” Howard Kilpatrick, a DEEP wildlife biologist, said.
Lichatz said the window is being reinforced and has barriers at the farm to discourage bobcats from hunting, but acknowledges it is an apex predator. “No matter what you do. You bury your fence two feet underground or a foot underground. You put chicken wire, you put gratings, you put fence. They’re going to find it. If they want it, they’re going to get it,” Lichatz said.
