I try to shy away from giving advise on "exotic" since I believe most of them should stay in the wild.
Here are some things to look into before making such a big and important decision like this. I found this site to have some good information

Bobcats have a reputation among many owners as being both more aggressive and more certain to spray than some other exotic species such as the serval. There are many very happy bobcat owners, but those are typically people who have done their homework ahead of time and are prepared to cope with issues such as spraying, the need for an outdoor enclosure, and rough play behavior.
