SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A mountain lion was recently spotted on video from a doorbell camera in northern California over the weekend.

The big cat was spotted Sunday morning in Natomas, a small neighborhood just north of Sacramento.

Police warned everyone in the neighborhood to stay inside as they tracked it down.

The 100-lb mountain lion roamed from backyard to backyard before officials were finally able to tranquilize it.

The wildlife team took the cat and will release it back into the wild.

Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

One way to keep porch pirates away. All we have in our neighborhood are bobcats and coyotes.

We don’t have coyote packs anymore, the cougars ate them.
I did see a deer in my yard yesterday, looked like it had cougar attack marks on it’s back.

In a separate interview, Petersburg told 9News the man apparently did everything wildlife officials recommend when encountering a wild animal of this kind, such as putting his hands in the air, making noise and standing his ground. Still, the feline attacked.

I guess nobody told the mountain lion that it wsan't supposed to attack under those circumstances.

Those lions need to be better taught the experts advice on what to do in a human/mountain lion encounter.

That kitty was looking for doggie snacks. Not the snack but the dog.

Take away their GPS. Few will have paper maps handy. Problem solved.
