Absolutely!

The bobcat hunts by stalking its prey and then ambushing it with a short chase or pounce. Its preference is for mammals weighing about 1.5 to 12.5 lb (0.68 to 5.7 kg) but the bobcat is an opportunistic predator that will readily vary its prey selection and hunting techniques depending on what is available. With small animals, such as rodents (including 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 ft (6.1 to 11 m) before rushing in to attack. Less commonly, it will feed on larger animals, such as fawns, lambs and kids (young goats, not the human variety) and other carnivores such as foxes, minks, skunks, small dogs and domesticated cats especially when other prey become scarce.

What is the bobcat's predator?

The Bobcat, at least the adult, has few predators. Man still hunts them, and sometimes they kill each other in a "dispute" of one kind or another. The Gray Wolf and the Cougar will kill them, but usually to protect territory rather than as food.The kits or kittens are more vulnerable. Large birds of prey like owls, larger hawks or eagles will take them. The coyote and fox will snatch one up, and adult males will kill kits if an opportunity arises.
