As to the hunting side, thats a separate thread. We're talking internet tough guys taking out mountain lions on this thread.

Oh, IF that the case. I once took on a chihuahua. Get between those things and their food and you will be begging for mercy.

Hell hath no annoyance like a pissed off chihuahhua.

The cure for wiener dogs is steel toe boots.

You may get one or two I don't doubt. Its when you have to use a scientific calculator to keep up with the number of ankle biters coming at you full speed that you're in trouble. Its like being swarmed by piranhas if piranhas felt like playing with you and prolonging the agony. .

Upgrade to knee-high steel toe boots!

I do now apparently The wife and I saw a picture of one a few weeks ago, and now we want a purebread male, I want a fething massive cat, with a spiked collar, and a gob over its mouth made of steel and bolts

That's basically how I arrived at my wife getting a bobcat, either that or a purebred mainecoon. If I have to be associated with an animal for two decades it better be a total badass.

and is it legal for an individual to own a wild bobcat?

It is where I'm from, not where I currently live.

I can't really believe that those wild cats lives along with humans quite well. just like domestic tabby

in Harry Potter, a "gamekeeper" has a Mainecoon cat. but i don't have a picture mew!

I would guess someone bought a few Emu nearby and they either escaped or were dumped there, that are onery creatures.

They are very onery, but also quite delicious (the meat is red meat, and tastes slightly like beef).

I'd say get the Mainecoon. They are exceptionally smart, and can be trained pretty much like a dog. They love to hunt as well (ours would stalk and kill pretty much anything. My wife was particularly fond of the fact that ours would hunt spiders).

They are also significantly less likely to try and eat your face while you sleep.
