I can't understand why his arms were not torn up. I can't imagine a Bobcat allowing itself to be handled like that without putting up a hell of a fight.

I thought that too until Rog posted that it was rabid. Rabies slows animals down a lot as the sickness spreads in them. They lose coordination.
Just an "educated guess". Cat in carrier was coming into estrus. The big cat was a Manx, not a bobcat.
Bob cats are normally very non social around people. I've seen Manxes that look just like a small bobcat. ... body conformity, color and the trademark bobbed tail too.
Just one more guess to add to the speculation. I'm also guessing that a bobcat attack like that is as rare as a Bigfoot sighting.
No.

Seen a bunch of em They're like most any other animal. They do whatever they want at whatever hour of the day that the mood strikes them whether it's 3AM or 3PM The ones I've shot were out stalking during full daylight hours. They'll eat whatever animal they can manage to get down on the ground. Neighborhood pets are a favorite snack in this region along with whitetail deer fawns. I've had people with degrees tell me that they only eat rodents in the wee AM hours. I can always tell that most of their experience is with a textbook in a classroom when they tell me that
Bobcats are everywhere. They very reclusive, and yes, for the most part nocturnal. If that was a bobcat, something was very, very wrong.
Yep. Rabies.

Every time I’ve tried to throw a cat a long ways they’ve always tried their very best to cling to me. Only success I’ve had getting anywhere near the distance that guy got I had put them in a leaf bag.
Pussy chucking gold medal!
Hold them down under water in a water trough and they let go after a minute or so. Its best to use good long gloves though.
