'Cats are all the same': Police officers attempt to lure a bobcat that broke into a house by making it chase lasers, thinking that all cats like lasers, but the bobcat is entirely unimpressed with them

Here at ICHC, we often say that all cats… are cats first. And big cats act like housecats all the time. Bobcats like playing around with their favorite toys, even if those toys are simply fennel. Baby jaguars pick fights with enemies much bigger than they are - like their mom's ears - and lose to them. Caracals like nagging their humans by sitting directly on their keyboard, yes, just like your little housecat does thirteen times a day. 

And so… we really can't blame these cops for trying. If we didn't know a better way of doing it, then we too might have tried to lure a bobcat that broke into someone's house by getting it to chase a laser. What a cute idea, right? It's a good thing that the bobcat did not fall for these human's silly tricks, because we don't think that they thought through what would have happened had it worked. A bobcat frantically running around inside a house trying to catch a magically disappearing dot and getting frustrated over failing… yeah, we would have paid to see that.
