Watch Colo. Deputy Use Laser to Try to Lure Bobcat Out of Home

June 4, 2025
A bobcat that had seemed to chase a domestic cat into a Ken Caryl home was unimpressed by a Jefferson County sheriff's deputy using a laser pointer to try to lure the animal out of the residence.

“Here kitty kitty,” he says.

Then he gets a bright idea.

“Well, I’m going to see if he chases the laser,” the deputy says in the video. “I don’t know, cats like lasers.”

“It’s not a normal cat,” the resident says slowly.

“Cats are all the same,” the deputy says as he tries tempting the bobcat with his taser’s green laser. “They all like the same thing.”

“You guys are hilarious,” the resident replies as the deputy again summons the wild cat with a “here little kitty kitty.”

The bobcat didn’t seem to budge at all, the video shows.

“Cats and dogs chase laser pointers, but this bobcat was not impressed,” the agency said in the post. “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.”

The homeowner said she learned her lesson in the comments.

“Parks and Wildlife and an amazing officer named Jerrie saved the day and told us to quit it with the lasers and just make the house dark and quiet and after 4 hours, that did the trick,” she said. “Keep your garage doors closed, garbage inside till day of pickup, and don’t leave the door unlatched for your pets. I’m just glad this baby wasn’t hurt.”

“Tell your bobcat I said ‘Pspspspspsps’,” someone joked in the comments.

Ken Caryl is about a 25-mile drive southwest from Denver.
