LOL i find hilarious that in every thread about a Pitbull fighting some animal, doesnt matter if its a timberwolf, a bobcat, or a fukin silverback gorilla lol there is always this one retarded motherfuker that actually thinks that the Pitbull could win.
"herp derp i've seen videos from 1700's where a Pitbull killed a triceratops u mad?"
I've been to ranchs and i've seen plenty of Bobcats and people saying that they are the same as a house cat are fukin stupid. We always have a rifle ready for those mofos because if they get to you you are dead in a matter of seconds

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobcat
"...The bobcat is able to go for long periods without food, but will eat heavily when prey is abundant. During lean periods, it will often prey on larger animals that it can kill and return to feed on later. The bobcat hunts by stalking its prey and then ambushing it with a short chase or pounce. Its preference is for mammals about 1.5 to 12.5 pounds (0.68 to 5.7 kg). Its main prey varies by region. In the eastern United States it is the eastern cottontail species, and in the north it is the snowshoe hare. When these prey species exist together, as in New England, they are the primary food sources of the bobcat. In the far south, the rabbits and hare are sometimes replaced by cotton rats as the primary food source. The bobcat is an opportunistic predator that, unlike the more specialized Canadian lynx, will readily vary its prey selection.[17] Research has shown that diet diversification positively correlates to a decline in numbers of the bobcat's principal prey; the abundance of its main prey species is the main determinant of overall diet.[26]
The bobcat hunts animals of different sizes, and will adjust its hunting techniques accordingly. With small animals, such as rodents, squirrels, birds, fish and insects, it will hunt in areas known to be abundant in prey, and will lie, crouch, or stand and wait for victims to wander close. It will then pounce, grabbing its prey with its sharp, retractable claws. For slightly larger animals, such as rabbits and hares, it will stalk from cover and wait until they come within 20 to 35 feet (6.1 to 11 m) before rushing in to attack. Less commonly it will feed on larger animals such as foxes, minks, skunks, small dogs and domesticated cats.[19] Bobcats are considered the major predatory threat to the endangered Whooping Crane.[27] Bobcats are also occasional hunters of livestock and poultry. While larger species such as cattle and horses are not known to be attacked, bobcats do present a threat to smaller ruminants such as sheep and goats. According to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, bobcats killed 11,100 sheep in 2004, comprising 4.9% of all sheep predator deaths.[28] However, some amount of bobcat predation may be misidentified, as bobcats have been known to scavenge on the remains of livestock kills by other animals.[29]
It has been known to kill deer, especially in winter when smaller prey is scarce, or when deer populations become more abundant. One study in the Everglades showed a large majority of kills (33 of 39) were fawns, but that prey up to eight times the bobcat's weight could be successfully taken.[30] It stalks the deer, often when the deer is lying down, then rushes in and grabs it by the neck before biting through the throat, base of the skull, or chest. On the rare occasions that a bobcat kills a deer, it eats its fill and then buries the carcass under snow or leaves, often returning to it several times to feed.[19]
The bobcat prey base overlaps with that of other mid-sized predators of a similar ecological niche. Research in Maine has shown little evidence of competitive relationships between the bobcat and coyote or red fox; separation distances and territory overlap appeared random amongst simultaneously monitored animals.[31] However, other studies have found that bobcat populations may decrease in areas with high coyote populations.[32] With the Canadian lynx, however, the interspecific relationship affects distribution patterns: competitive exclusion by the bobcat is likely to have prevented any further southward expansion of the range of its felid cousin. ..."

Depends how the fight goes. Most likely the cat would inflict massive damage and run away. If the dog actually got a hold of the cat the pitt would win but would need several hundred stitches.

Trying to get your ideal outcome often leads to the passing up of practical alternatives that deny your adversaries theirs.

Honestly i dont see a slow ass pitbull even gettin near a housecat, let alone a bobcat.
In a matter of seconds, yes. In the best case, you walk away without an eye and a disfigured face.
But i forgot how alpha pitbulls are and that you used to work with a veterinary that used to have bobcat vs pitbull fights in his basement, and 9 out of 10 times the pitbull would win

once that pit locks up the kittys head in his jaws, lights out kitty!
Imma guess 60% of the time, the pit wins a fight to the death. He's limping out of there with some big ass problems, but as soon as that jaw locks up on the cat, bones will be broken, arteries severed, entrails pushed out.... its not likely the cat would want to stick around after that.10k+

Ok you have one guy saying that he used to live where bobcats were abundant and he would often come across them, they would usually run away and try to hide, and that his border collie would often chase them away. Now you have another guy saying he lives where there are bobcats and he carries a rifle because a bobcat can kill you in a couple of seconds.
Obviously one of these people is bull****ting, and bull****ting very hard. Using common sense I am gonna have to go with the person who said they usually run away and hide, considering a bobcat is ****in 30 pounds max and is pretty much the size of a house cat

So many idiots here thinking that size means everything.u idiots think just bc pitbull weighs more it will aitomatically win? Pitbull has 1 weapon and its his mouth. Cat has claws and mouth. Cat is alot quicker and kills and hunts for a living. So we have an experienced fighter vs a domestic dog that gets fed every morning.
Now lets compare these using humans since u idiots know nothing about animals.
Brock lesner is huge and is bigger than most ufc fighters yet he lost to few opponents who were mjch smaller than hin. Hmmm interesting thought if ur bigger u autonatically win.
Oh and also. Any average joe shmo who had fighting experience either on the street or the ring will knock out any bodybuilder in your gym who ha a no fighting experience.
Now u mite say pits are trained for fighting and thats ok. Pitbull uses jts mouth to fight and the cat uses back front claws and jaw. To put it in human perspective u are putting a person who obly boxes against a mma fighter who knows boxing+wrestling+any other fighting form
Edit:also a wild animal will always be more aggresive than any domestic dog. Trained or not. Once agai using humans, a thug who grew up in a ghetto with a crappy life and had to fight to sirvive will always be more aggresive than a rich boy who was trained to be a fighter

zYou must've never seen true pit fights. And if it were a fight trained blue pit it wouldn't even be a contest. The pit would absolutely maul a bobcat. A pit will fight to the death and the bobcat would either just lose or run away.
That's why pitbulls are illegal in some places.AcetylCoA gets reps

I never said that every time a bobcat sees you, it will run to you and kill you without thinking twice about it. Most of the time i've seen bobcats, i see them just running chasing something or getting off the way. Just like housecats, they'd rather stay low than stay there in front of a bunch of humans like a dumbass testing his luck.
But if a bobcat feels threatened by you, and actually attacks you, you are done my friend. Truck drivers have been killed by these mofos when they pull over the road to take a piss. (srs)
