On large carcasses, bobcats usually open an area just behind the ribs and begin feeding on the viscera. In addition, sometimes feeding starts at the neck, shoulders, or hindquarters.

Bobcat Damage and Damage Identification
Bobcats leave a variety of signs if they are on your Virginia property. Their tracks are about 2 to 3 inches in diameter and resemble those of a large house cat. Furthermore, the bobcat walking stride length between-tracks measure 7 inches.

Carcasses that are rabbit-size or smaller may be entirely consumed at one feeding. Bobcats may return several times to feed on large carcasses. Also, bobcats, like cougars, often attempt to cover unconsumed remains of kills by scratching leaves, dirt, or snow over them.
Bobcats also reach out about 15 inches (38 cm) in raking up debris to cover their kills, while cougars may reach out 24 inches (61 cm).
