A woman in Brevard County, Fla., will likely need rabies shots after a bobcat she mistakenly thought was a house cat bit her in her home, according to Local 6 News.

Officials said Cheryle Swink found what appeared to her to be an ordinary stray cat near her home in Mims, Fla., and brought it inside.

The bobcat then bit Swink.

Local 6 News reported that she then put the bobcat in a box. When her husband came home he realized that it was a bobcat and the pair called animal control officers.

The bobcat had to be put to sleep so it could be checked for rabies.

The woman said she was willing to get rabies shots so the animal could be kept alive.
