Jefferson County deputy tried to coax Bobcat in Colorado house out with laser pointer

In the case you have a wild bobcat show up in your house, we now know trying to lure it out with a laser pointer is probably not going to work…

When a Colorado resident found a bobcat on a shelf in his living room, deputies did the only thing they knew to do: use a laser pointer to coax the wild kitty outside.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office took to social media and explained how that went. “Cats and dogs chase laser pointers, but this bobcat was not impressed. When it wandered into a Ken Caryl home and cozied up behind the TV, our deputies thought outside the box trying their Taser’s green lasers to coax it out. The bobcat’s verdict? Not interested.”

The bobcat left in its own time.

Here’s some video from the incident:
