No, not unless you had special permits that are extremely hard to obtain. I suggest you get a cat, and leave wild animals in the wild where they belong.

It depends where you live. You can find out the laws in your state at this link: http://www.thefcf.com/legal/legalstart.asp?key=29
But please read up on Bobcats here: http://www.exoticcatz.com/speciesbob.html
I know a few people in remote parts Oklahoma and Arkansas that have bobcats go through their homes daily. Wild bobcats quickly became a part of their family - but it was the bobcats' decision, and it usually works better that way! They are more demanding than domestic cats by a long shot, and if you have smaller pets you can often say goodbye!
I have no idea where these people are going on about getting your face torn off, though.... They are not evil, and quite frankly not really dangerous to adult humans - but they are better off not kept locked up in a home.

Yeah, but you will have to put the leopard in the basement. Leopards and bobcats do not get along very well. Try getting a tiger or cheetah instead. They get along better with the bobcats.

You will need a license for it. You must get ahold of your department of wildlife about fees and such. If you have no license and someone sees it and calls police you'd be charged for owning wildlife and the bobcat would probably be put to sleep....or even taken to a shelter or zoo.

Check you local laws for that answer. Remember a bobcat is a wild animal and NOT A PET!
