Showing now | News 00:25 Zack Palomo A Colorado homeowner was left unimpressed by police efforts to get a bobcat out of her house. The wild animal wandered into a home in Ken Caryl and settled behind the owner's TV on May 22. Jefferson County Sheriff's Office deputies tried to lure the bobcat out by shining lasers from their tasers in front of it. The bobcat doesn't appear to react to the bait. 'I don't know, cats like lasers,' one deputy can be heard saying in the bodycam footage. 'It's not a normal cat,' another deputy responds. 'You guys are hilarious,' the homeowner tells the officers. According to the sheriff's office, the bobcat eventually left of its own accord through the back door.

Watch: Bobcat found inside Colorado home 'not impressed' by lasers
May 30 (UPI) -- Sheriff's deputies called to remove a bobcat from inside a Colorado resident's living room attempted to get the animal to chase lasers, but the feline was "not impressed." The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded to a Ken Caryl home where a resident found a bobcat hiding behind their TV. "Cats and dogs chase laser pointers, but this bobcat was not impressed," the sheriff's office said on social media. "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." The bobcat eventually "left at its own pace" through the back door, which had been left open for it. "Guess some intruders just aren't dazzled by our high-tech tricks," the post said.

Colorado cactus removed from endangered species list after nearly 50 years
DENVER (KDVR) — A cactus in Colorado is recovering, and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service was able to take it off the endangered species list after it was considered a federally threatened species for nearly 50 years. The Colorado hookless cactus is a small, barrel-shaped cactus with pink flowers that bloom in late April and early May. It is usually found around the Gunnison River basins and canyons in western Colorado. While these cacti are usually found in Colorado — they thrive in semi-arid, high-elevation desert environments — there wasn't exactly a surplus in the state. Bobcat suprises deputies after sneaking into Ken Caryl home Since 1979, the service said it was federally listed as a threatened species. That is, until the service announced on Wednesday that it had removed the cactus from the federal list of endangered and threatened plants due to its recovery. The service said threats to the cactus were eliminated or reduced, and the species no longer meets the definition of a threatened or endangered species. Recent scientific data also shows the species is 'more abundant than previously known at the time of listing.' Fact or Myth? Common thunder and lightning phrases you may still believe 'This decision is based on the best available scientific and commercial information and reflects ongoing conservation efforts and improved scientific data on the species,' the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service said in a press release. The service said this is thanks to the help of the recovery partners, which include the Bureau of Land Management, the Colorado Natural Heritage Program and the Denver Botanic Gardens. While the species is no longer considered threatened or endangered, the service said it will continue to work with partners to monitor the species' long-term stability.
