This bobcat led to a school evacuation but it was just a missing housepet!

Bobcat that turned out to be a case of mistaken identity!

The kids must be loving this. Officials at West Scranton High School in Pennsylvania said students were sent home Tuesday morning (June 1st) when security cameras captured what looked like a bobcat wandering loose inside the building. Animal control officers agreed the feline looked like a bobcat and alerted the Game Commission. The animal was captured inside the building and officials quickly discovered it was not a bobcat, but a domestic breed known as a Clouded Jack cat. The breed has a similar silhouette to a bobcat. A local shelter scanned the animal for a microchip and identified it as a local pet that had been missing for about three months—the reunited the pet with its owner that same afternoon!
