.22LR would require an awesome shot through the heart at a pretty close up range. You would be a lot better off with an accepted defensive handgun round or most centerfire rifle rounds.

I would NOT take the advice requiring 3 S's or a very hot fire :barf: If you end up needing to shoot a bobcat that comes after you, you're a lot better off calling up your Fish and Game. When they come out and see you shot one that charged you from inside your barn or out by the back of the house, I have a hard time imagining you will catch any real problems from that.

Happy home defending!
