Woman Survives Terrifying Bobcat Attack in Kingman Neighborhood

An Arizona woman was attacked by a bobcat while out for a walk in the Atherton Acres neighborhood south of Kingman. The bobcat clawed one leg and bit the other, prompting the woman to seek treatment at a local medical center. The Arizona Game and Fish Department located the bobcat, and while such attacks are rare, rabies is often involved. Recent cases of rabies have been reported in Nevada, Arizona, and California. Officials advise maintaining distance from wildlife, keeping pets away from them, and vaccinating pets against rabies. In the event of an animal bite or contact with a potentially infected animal, washing the wound and reporting the incident to animal control and health authorities is recommended.
