Title: A bobcat walks into a bar and... Post by: laserpat on March 27, 2009, 06:35:02 PM COTTONWOOD, Ariz. (AP) -- A bobcat has attacked three people in the central Arizona community of Cottonwood, including two men who were bitten by the animal after it wandered inside a bar. Officers called to the Chapparal Bar arrived to find the bobcat in the parking lot, where they shot and killed it. Tests were ordered to determine if the animal was rabid. It wasn't clear how seriously the victims had been wounded. Cottonwood police say the animal attacked Monday when it scratched a woman who thought she had hit it with her car. Then police got a report of a bobcat acting aggressively toward a woman outside a Pizza Hut. About 11 p.m. came the call from the bar that a bobcat was inside as patrons climbed atop bar stools to get away. --- Title: Re: A bobcat walks into a bar and...

Many years ago,read, late 60's I was a resident of W. Hollywood doin the rock'n roll music thing when, one night in my little apt, laden neighborhood, I heard a gawdawful screaming from across the street. Knew it was some kinda critter, after all, I grew up a desert boy in Az. I figured, no prob!! Uh - - - Problem!! Somebody had a pet bobber that got out of their pad. As i approached, so did it! As I rapidly retrreated, it rapidly advanced! This was when the screaming like a little girl kicked in! Guess there was no sport in it for the cat as he hung a U-ey, never to be seen again. Course I wasn't lookin anymore! 8) Title: Re: A bobcat walks into a bar and... Post by: Kidd on March 27, 2009, 07:40:54 PM The bobcat thing happened 3 miles for where I live
