Law enforcement members deal with a lot of difficult and unique situations in their line of work but dealing with wild cats is usually not one of those things.
However, that’s what a group of Wisconsin deputies and a conservation officer did after someone reported, “I have a bobcat in my car.”
In a social media post, Portage County Sheriff Mike Lukas described Wednesday that three deputies responded to the caller’s location and — lo and behold — found a bobcat in the vehicle.
After seeing it with their own eyes, the deputies called for help from a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources conservation warden.
The warden was then able to pull the bobcat out of the vehicle and, with a little luck, it hopped right into the back of his truck, where it was then shut inside until it could be returned to the wild.

“All in a day’s work at the Portage County Sheriff’s Office and the Wisconsin DNR,” Lukas wrote.
