I guess the next logical question is what size tank does it need???? i hear 20 square miles for a breeding pair.....I can see a plywood build coming!! 
Very nice! Hope you see him/her again, and hope the idiots that are talking about killing them never get the chance to see one

Pretty cool! You'd actually be surprised at how common they really are. They're just very secretive and you could have one living near your house your whole life and never know it.
There's a member on AquariaCentral that has a wild Bobcat that "adopted" him and it comes into his home to hang out sometimes!

I am an avid hunter. Would I ever shoot one of these? No.
They really are not all that common, and I only kill things that I eat.
You are a lucky man to have seen one in real life. They are making a comeback in lots of places, and actually the local university here has somewhat of a specialist on the subject. He came to our property and set out pheromone traps, and within that night we had a bobcat come around to see what was up. Caught his calls on tape and man is that a crazy sound. They also got some hair samples for their records. A cool animal. You are a lucky guy.
As far as the guy that has one...I wonder how he got it. Something is up to have one that small. It doesnt just go wandering around at a size like that. Must have been a rescue or something. Hope he is able to provide for its needs.

It's not an animal you can eat, so yes, I think killing one would be idiotic.
^no offence but another anti hunter that really doesnt know what they are talking about.
and id love to own one. Iv looked into big cats. In fact i have full intentions of purchasing an african serval. Problem is its alot of work to get the permit I will need. Im hoping to get one in a few years but its gotta take some work. People wonder why im so against permits. Look into PA's permit process for a big cat. I can own a croc or a HOT with less work. By less i mean i dont have to do a thing to own them.
God i hate permits
