Beware the rabid bobcats!

The crazed critters are running wild in Morristown, NJ, where a mom and her kids were trapped in a bathroom and a dog was attacked by one of the ferocious felines, according to a report Friday.

A bobcat burst into the home of an unnamed family on East Mill Road at around 6 p.m. on Wednesday — frightening a mom, who locked herself in a first-floor bathroom for an hour with her children, according to NJ.com.

The animal hopped then through a kitchen window, scampered off and nobody was injured.

The next day, a bobcat showing signs rabies attacked a pet dog in a nearby home at around 5:50 p.m., police told the news site.

Animal officials captured the bobcat in a nearby barn and the dog was rushed to a vet.

It’s not clear if the rabid bobcat was the same one burst into the home on Wednesday, Washington Township police spokesman Lt. Douglas Compton said.
