Not all cats mind getting wet. Between a river, creeks, lakes, ditches and canals, Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge has a variety of watery places where a bobcat (Lynx rufus) might cool down, clean off or search for food. Bobcats mainly feed on mice, birds, squirrels, rabbits, insects, fish and occasionally deer, according to USFWS.
