Sheldon: "I heard in the news a bobcat has been spotted in her neighborhood"

Bobcat just chillin in Floyd Co

(From Big Bang Theory Season 5, Episode 8)

Sheldon: Okay. You know, I heard in the news a bobcat has been spotted in her neighborhood.
Leonard: I don't think Amy was eaten by a bobcat.
Sheldon: Who thinks Amy was eaten by a bobcat?
Leonard: You do?
Sheldon: Leonard, I was just mentioning an interesting local news item. Now, thanks to you, I'm worried Amy's been eaten by a bobcat.

A surprise guest gave neighbors in Georgetown, Indiana quite a start earlier this week.

Donna and Ray Singleton walked outside of their Georgetown home Monday to find a bobcat lounging on a chair on their front porch.

That chair, now the talk of the town Wednesday after playing host to the cat.

Indiana law does allow for bobcats to be kept as pets if you have the right permits. The cats spent decades on Indiana's endangered species list.

Earlier this year, the state proposed a potential bobcat hunting season in southern Indiana counties but that was withdrawn after public outcry over the proposal.

The Indiana DNR says there is a population of the cat in southern Indiana, but they're solitary, elusive animals so it's unlikely you'll see them even if they're around.
