Bobcat captured in Houston parking garage


HOUSTON (AP) - An unwanted occupant of a Houston parking garage got a free lift to a new home.

Animal control authorities removed a bobcat that was spotted in the parking structure near a federal building in downtown Houston.

Chris Glaser with Houston's Bureau of Animal Regulation and Care says the initial call Tuesday morning was about a possible house cat roaming the garage floors.

Tranquilizer darts were used to subdue what turned to be a bobcat weighing an estimated 25 pounds.

Glaser says the bobcat, which was checked by a staff veterinarian, seems healthy and was transported about 30 miles, to Brazos Bend State Park, and released.
