Amy Shelley who is a woman who lives in a home in Ken Caryl Colorado called the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office (JCSO) on Thursday May 29 when she a bobcat behind her television. The JCSO deputes tried to use their tasers that have green lights in a way to get the bobcat to use the light. The bobcat decided noy to follow the green light from the tasers used by the deputies. The bobcat whose gender was not released to the public decided to leave Amy's home voluntary out the back door where the bobcat entered in the first place since Amy opened the door for her pet cat when the bobcat entered her home.

I bet the gender of the Bobcat will be apparent in the coming days if it marked it's territory in her home I wonder if Bobcats do that

I've had snakes, bats, squirrels, stray dogs, and stray cats enter my home. But never a bobcat.

Maybe the bobcat was wanting to make a meal of her pet cat, and I wouldn't want to tackle a cornered bobcat in my house either. Amy will have to be more careful not to let that bobcat in to her house again.

That is true that hopefully Amy learned her lesson keeping the back door. open.

That's scary. I'm glad the cat left voluntarily.
