Wasn't that a cougar (mountain lion) instead of a bobcat? Wait a minute, Mercury did market the Bobcat, the Pinto-clone.
A couple of years ago, I almost hit two bobcats on a gravel road near me. It was in the middle of the day and one was chasing the other one across the road, probably trying to get a little nookie. As far as the comment about coyote-bait, bobcats have claws and can run at great speed. I can easily see one of these tearing up 4- 5 coyotes a new one.
