Was going to take pictures, but body was gone the next day. Other night, wife told me the barn cats killed a bob cat. I thought no way, its a neighbors dog hit by a car that limped to our barn and died. If it is a bob cat, must be the same thing, limped to barn and died. Although I would not expect a bob cat to limp to a building when hurt.
Nope and nope. I went out to the barn to check and there was a dead bob cat, male, with its throat ripped out and bloody gouges all over its body. The dogs showed no interest and had no injuries. The barn cats were tore up a bit and they were eating the invading male.
Neighbors cats come strolling onto our property, if its the male the barn cats attack and run it off. I gotta figure the bob cat figured he was too big to take crap from the barn cats. Bad decision. My barn cats are officially a pack. Now I wonder where the hell the body went. I drug it to the burn pile. It wasnt there the next AM. Can not imagine they ate the whole damn body. Something else got it.
All I can think is coyote.
