You are right even if the bobcat is a young animal.

He had gloves on but still a brave move, but maybe he could tell that the bobcat would act mildly, as it appears calm, and not too distressed, at him picking it up like that.

Years ago my Dad lived in a rural place. He told me to go look out the front window. I did and there was a gorgeous bobcat walking up the driveway. Sure made my day.

@Deepizzaguy Seeing that bobcat not in a zoo was truly seeing the meaning of Wild.

I am shocked that the cat would let that deputy hold it.

I am thinking the same thing that it took the deputy a lot of courage handling the bobcat who was hurt.
