MOBILE, Ala. – A woman who helped rescue an injured cat on the roadside got a surprise when a veterinarian told her it was a wild and potentially dangerous bobcat.

Liza Eldred, her teenage daughter and the girl’s friend found the female bobcat Saturday on U.S. 98 in south Baldwin County, wrapped it in a sweatshirt and drove it to an animal clinic for treatment.

Veterinarian Andy Duke said the women were “extremely lucky” that the bobcat, which had a broken paw, did not panic and injure them.

They were in “a lot of danger,” Duke said.

Eldred believes the bobcat didn’t harm them because it sensed they were trying to help.

“It was not moving, making a sound,” she said. “It hissed once, so we stopped once so my daughter’s friend could move into the (far) back seat.”

Duke’s staff named the 11-pound bobcat Bobbi. He said it is undersized at 10 to 12 months old, and the animals typically grow to about 35 pounds.

Vetenarian Laura Serio, who treated the bobcast at the clinic Saturday, told the Press-Regiser on Monday that it was doing well.

“I think she will recover well in the wild,” Serio said.

The adventures of boy wizard Harry Potter can stay in Gwinnett County school libraries, despite a mother’s objections, a judge ruled Tuesday. Laura Mallory, who argued the popular fiction series is an attempt to indoctrinate children in witchcraft, said she still wants the best-selling books removed and may take her case to federal court.

“I maybe need a whole new case from the ground up,” Mallory said. The woman, who said two of her four children attend public schools in the county, was not represented by an attorney at the hearing…

“I have a dream that God will be welcomed back in our schools again,” Mallory said. “I think we need him.”
