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.

No coyote packs sighted in this suburban neighborhood - usually singles or pairs.

Strange how officials can find a big kitty in CA but they can’t find illegals.

Oh, no! They could have DIED!!!! So, he hangs around to post pictures to his FB and twitter. Typical.

They had one caught on a doorbell camera close to where my son lives about a month ago. It seems like the things are everywhere lately.

And actually uses a FLASH on one of the pics!! As if the cat wouldn’t have been freaked out enough after the door is opened and he sees a person standing there staring at him.
