On a PC, the Backspace key and the Left Arrow (BackArrow) keys do NOT generate
the same characters.  There are independent of each other.

After loading bobcat.el, the Backspace key still generates a C-h and the
CTRL-Backspace key combination still generates a DEL character, as before.
The file bobcat.el tell Demacs to INTERPRET a C-h character AS IF a DEL
character were entered and to INTERPRET a DEL character AS IF a C-h were
entered.  So, after bobcat.el is loaded, pressing the Backspace key will
invoke delete-backward-char.  Pressing CTRL-Backspace will invoke help.

Now, if you really want to bind delete-backward-char to the left arrow key, it
can be done, but I can't imagine WHY you would want to do this!  Nevertheless,
this should work:

        (defun my-key-bindings ()
            (define-key global-map "\C-@K" 'delete-backward-char))
        (setq term-setup-hook 'my-key-bindings)

in your .emacs file.
