Police officers in the U.S. mistook a pet cat for a mountain lion, HuffPost reported. Officers apologized right after realizing their mistake.

The Iowa Police Department alerted locals about a mountain lion that had been spotted on the city's streets. Officers asked people to stay away from the animal, and posted a video of the alleged wildcat running through the grass as proof.

However, this statement made the residents laugh when they realized that the policemen had mistaken a wild cat for a domestic cat. The police officers later admitted their own mistake and apologized to the people, thanking them for their vigilance.
