A Person County man is recovering after a bobcat mauled him on Sunday. The attack happened just steps from Greg Slaughter’s home near Mayo Lake. Slaughter suffered bites, scrapes and claw marks “from the waist up,” he said. The attack happened just after 1:30 p.m. Sunday. Slaughter said he was walking to his garage when he heard a yelp from his neighbor’s dog. He looked up to see the bobcat 150 feet or so away. “It just took me by surprise when it started after me,” Slaughter said.
