TAMPA, FLA.—A Florida contractor says he was attacked by a bobcat inside a woman’s condo, but the animal’s owner says her feline is no predator, just a 10-pound domestic longhair kitty named Calli. The contractor, Marcos Hernandez, filed a lawsuit in Tampa on Dec. 19, alleging condo owner Christine Lee illegally kept a bobcat inside her unit. He said a bobcat scratched him on May 16, causing serious injuries after he entered the condo to conduct a fire safety inspection. According to the lawsuit, Hernandez said he was attacked by an unleashed bobcat and suffered permanent injuries. Hernandez said Lee had a duty to provide a safe environment and failed to warn him about the bobcat.
