Is it legal in the state of Kansas to own a Bobcat as a pet?

Kansas does not regulate bobcats kept as pets, only when bred. Therefore, the issue would be at your county, township or city level.

Bobcats and other small exotic cats usually range from around $1800 to 2500.

The easiest way to find a breeder is to join one or more bobcat Yahoo groups.

My old 520 Bobcat will only start on idle with no choke. Before you had to choke and half throttle it?

It has a 20 hp Kohler engine and used to start pretty good and then one day we could only get it going by leaving the throttle at a idle with no choke until it started. After it warmed up a little you could give it more throttle. We use this machine about three times a week and it stays in the 50 degree shop all the time so being cold shouldn't be a problem. Anybody got any suggestions? Tractor service is costly for something that is probably easy to fix if one had the knowledge.

What breed of cat is a bobcat hybrid?

I agree this sort of pairing would very unlikely in the wild but the bobcat was born and raised in the zoo. The bobcat not domesticated and lives in a cage, but never having been in the wild, and the only other female cats it has been around are the demestics that live with the park caretakers that live on the premises. Anyway I don't need an obnoxious know-it-all telling me what I have or don't have. Stick to answering the questions asked, without being rude.

Wildlife: Would mountain lions, bobcats or coyotes attack my housecat?

The question must've been written back in 2012 as that's when the only answer was posted. If the person did let his cat out, my answer's too late to benefit thim/her but hopefully, if anyone else reads this, it may help them.Anyone letting their cat outdoors, even if their place is surrounded with a 6 foot fence will lose their cat, if not very soon, the likely within a year at most.It's not that difficult for a coyote to jump a 6 foot fence as one might think. The coyotes in my medium-sized town easily do it and I don't think ours are somehow super athletes. Not sure if bobcats or lynxes easily could but a cougar could. To predators, a cat makes a small tasty meal.I've seen at vet's clinics in our town, posted to their public bulletin boards, photos of 'lost' cats with rewards offered. Receptionists and vets both have said how unlikely the owners will ever see their pet again. Most have become a meal for predators that live within own town (coyotes) or just beyond in our wooded terrain (coyotes, wild cat species and bears). Owners in areas like this are deluding themselves into thinking their pet is smart and won't end up getting eaten.

Baiting for coyote and bobcat.?

That's a difficult question to answer, because in general, bobcats and coyotes feed differently. Bobcats are more selectively hunters, while coyotes are more prone to take any opportunity to scavenge that they can.

Over the last 20yrs, I have never felt that bobcat hunting, even baiting, was a very productive pursuit. I call "predators" a lot during the prime season, and bringing in a bobcat is usually a pleasant surprise, but not really an easy goal to accomplish with any regularity. The only time I've had any luck with baiting for bobcats was using birds (remains of turkeys and pheasants during respective hunting seasons).

Coyotes will come to pretty much anything. I've used frozen butcher waste (blood, fat, tallow, meat scraps) from my local locker, dead rabbits, deer carcasses (roadkill is good for something), dead calves (I run a few thousand head of cattle, so there's always a carcass to haul off at one time or another), etc etc.

Personally, the butcher waste is my prefered method. It's just a lot easier to deal with, and can be had very regularly. Bird scraps work great, but if you're not spending time hunting birds, you won't have access to it, same deal for dead calves or deer carcasses. They work great, but they aren't in regular supply.

Liver works great, if you want to spend money on your bait. Personally, I'm puting out 5-10lbs on different spots every night, so even if I'm paying 40cents a pound, I'm talking about $200-300 per season (3months of prime fur). I get the butcher waste for free. Sometimes I can get liver for free as well, but not as regularly. The great part of liver is that it smells a lot, and coyotes depend on livers for their iron intake, so they go nuts for it.
