Staff members at a Pennsylvania high school reported a “bobcat” on the loose which caused an evacuation from the buildings on campus, UPI reports.
Students at West Scranton High School were sent home early on Tuesday when the feline was caught on security camera, and officials believed that it was a wild bobcat.
When Animal Control arrived on the scene, they agreed it was a bobcat and contacted the state Game Commission.
After the animal was captured, authorities soon realized that it was not a wild bobcat; it was actually a Clouded Jack house cat.
