Is a bobcat a predator?

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.
