* Dense vegetation: Thickets, brush piles, and areas with heavy undergrowth provide concealment and a sense of security.
* Hollow logs: These provide a natural den with a readily available escape route.
* Abandoned burrows: Bobcats may take over burrows dug by other animals like foxes, badgers, or ground squirrels.
* Caves: Caves and rock crevices offer protection from weather and predators.
* Under rock outcroppings: Similar to caves, rock outcroppings offer shelter and concealment.
Bobcats may also use tree cavities for sleeping, especially in areas with limited ground cover.
They will often change their sleeping spot frequently to avoid predators and to stay near their hunting grounds. They can also adapt to different environments and use whatever shelter is available in their location.
