Bobcat Enters Jefferson County Home, Evades Laser Removal Efforts

Deputies from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office responded to a call about a bobcat inside a residence in Ken Caryl, Colorado. The wildcat had taken shelter behind a television, prompting deputies to attempt coaxing it out using the green laser from a TASER device, assuming it would respond like a domestic cat. However, the bobcat showed no interest in the laser and ultimately left the home on its own through an open back door. The sheriff's office humorously noted that some intruders are not impressed by high-tech tricks. Authorities also highlighted that bobcats are secretive animals widespread across Colorado, usually avoiding human dwellings. The incident was captured on body-worn camera footage and shared publicly, showcasing the unusual encounter.
