You might think they are a Housecat if you see one, but they are not and will Bite and Claw you if you try to pick one up as they are wild ! They have really pointy ears and you can usually tell them by the wild eyes and the whiskers growing out of their ears ( like the movie 'Gremlins' ).
The Deputy was able to pick him up by a blanket and a thick glove they have for animals. Attachment 4022
And at the Vets

Bobcat in the road before being picked up
Bobcats usually stay well hidden as they are small Predators and even guys who go into the everglades or the forests rarely see one, although many states Have thousands of them in the wild. It is not known how many are in Florida; as it is impossible to count them in the everglades !
Edit:
Bobcat as found in the road

I'm surprised the deputy was able to pick up without full body armor on!
