WEST BRIDGEWATER, Mass. — Authorities responding to a cat stuck in a tree call on Friday got more than they bargained for on arrival.
Although technically speaking there was a “cat” in a tree, it wasn’t the type of feline you’d want wandering into your house.
West Bridgewater Police snapped a few pictures of a bobcat sitting in a tree at the intersection of Manley Street and West Street.

“We would have called the Fire Department for a cat in a tree but….. it was just a bobcat!” police wrote in a social media post.
Bobcats are the only wild cats now found in Massachusetts and can live in a variety of habitats, including residential areas, according to MassWildlife.
