We’ve had several bobcats in out neighbourhood in the past few years. I have tons of photos of them in our back yard. I’ve seen then nose to nose with our big fatso cat who was on a leash. We have “several” free ranging use cats that I see wandering all the time, and they aren’t disappearing. I honestly don’t think bobcats are much of a problem to cats. I’d bet it’s coyotes eating cats.
Another thing, I find dead rabbits half eaten and hidden for “the next meal” by bobcats and I never find dead cats in the same ways. A coyote would grab the cat and run away to eat it, bobcats tend to stick pretty close to the home. It’s gotta be coyotes and the bobcats probably don’t need to be or deserve targeted.
