    KEN CARYL, Colorado (KCNC) — A bobcat was found inside a home in Ken Caryl, Colorado and wasn’t in a big hurry to leave. The wild cat was found cozied up behind a TV and that’s when Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputies had an idea.

They thought it would be a good idea to use a TASER’s green laser to coax out the cat. The bobcat had other plans, showed no interest in playing with the deputies and left on its own… right out the open back door.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office tweeted out:

Unimpressed Bobcat Ignores Lasers, Strolls Out of Ken Caryl Home on Its Own Terms

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. It left at its own pace, right out the open back door.

Guess some intruders just aren’t dazzled by our high-tech tricks.
