Plenty of animals will chase a laser pointer. Dogs, cats, even some fish will go after a little dot. But this bobcat that managed to break into a home in Ken Caryl, Colorado, wasn’t even the slightest bit interested.
When Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputies arrived at the scene of a bobcat inside a house, one had the brilliant idea to try using their TASER’s green lasers to coax the animal out. Unfortunately the animal was completely uninterested.
Despite their failed effort, the unimpressed bobcat chose to wander out of the house at its own pace, leaving through the open back door.
Bobcats are found throughout the entire state of Colorado, though they’re most abundant in foothills, canyons, mesas, and plateaus where brush and woodland provide suitable habitat. They are the most common wild cat species in North America and have a minimum U.S. range-wide population estimate between 1.4 and 2.6 million.
