RAYNE, La. — The Rayne Police Department has received reports of bobcat sightings near Carmichaels Apartments, located just north of I-10 on Highway 35.
While bobcats are not typically a threat to humans as they are naturally reclusive, it is important to exercise caution.
If you encounter a bobcat, Rayne Police offer the following suggestions:
- Do not approach or attempt to feed the animal.
- Keep a safe distance and ensure small children and pets are secure.
"Please be vigilant, especially during dawn and dusk when bobcats are most active," said Chief Carroll Stelly.
