Bobcat walks in front door of Washington home

[Justin Case]

PORT LUDLOW — A Washington state homeowner says he left his front door open for his own cats. He wasn't expecting a 35-pound bobcat to walk in, but that's what happened.

The Port Ludlow resident told animal control officers he watched the wild cat jump over a couch, climb over a big screen TV and then jump up to a loft, where it made itself at home.

Washington Fish and Wildlife Officer Win Miller says the bobcat apparently felt safe upstairs.

With the help of a tranquilizer gun, animal control officers were able to secure the cat and remove it from the home last weekend.

Fish and Wildlife says the bobcat wasn't harmed and was released back into the wild about six miles from the home. One of the homeowner's pet cats was briefly scared away, but "Boo Boo" made it home safely Tuesday.

That's news? Pfffft The WSF mascot Bobcat is asleep next to me as we speak!

Probably fixed himself a martini, adjusted his tie, looked at the homeowner and said, "My name is Cat...Bob Cat." with a Scottish accent of course.

Funny you should mention the Scottish accent, Rick. Bobcat comes from north of the border
He's moved now, the fire is more appealing

My friend has a bob cat and two raccoons that steal her cats food all the time.

Living out in the sitcks, has its advantages, at least the critters dont wear red or blue bandana and come in armed to take your big screen TV.

We had A Half Bobcat once. It was strongly devoted to Dottie and would sleep between her and the headboard. Dottie went home to visit her family for a week and he would sleep on her pillow while she was away. About the middle of the week I decided I would sleep on her pillow and maybe he would get a closer bond with me. Didn't work. He would not go NEAR the pillow after I slept on it!! Plus he kept giving me dirty looks the rest of the week!!! Once She came home and slept on her pillow, All was fine again. Best darn cat we ever had. About two months later,Someone swerved Off the road, into our yard to run him over. Almost took out a tool shed in the yard. Yet he was one of the sweetest, gentlest cats we have ever had too, Even played with the dogs. Wish I had another one like him..........
