The animal has specifically been spotted in the area of South Holly Street and East Dry Creek.<\/p>\n<p>Deputies are warning residents to remain alert and keep pets on a leash or inside. Authorities told residents not to approach the bobcat or attempt to feed it, and report any aggressive behavior to local authorities.<\/p>\n<p>Bobcats are commonly found throughout North America. They can grow to be about 15 to 30 pounds, about the size of a medium-sized dog.<\/p>\n<p>Bobcats also rarely attack people, and typically will run away if threatened. However, they can be dangerous to smaller pets.<\/p>\n<p>    &#13;<br \/>\n        <a class=\"article-social-share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/www.denvergazette.com\/2026\/05\/09\/bobcat-spotted-in-centennial-neighborhood-authorities-warn-residents\/\" onclick=\"openPopup(this.href); return false;\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n            &#13;<br \/>\n        <\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n        <a class=\"article-social-share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.denvergazette.com\/2026\/05\/09\/bobcat-spotted-in-centennial-neighborhood-authorities-warn-residents\/&amp;text=Bobcat+spotted+in+Centennial+neighborhood%2C+authorities+warn+residents\" onclick=\"openPopup(this.href); return false;\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n            &#13;<br \/>\n                &#13;<br \/>\n                    &#13;<br \/>\n                &#13;<br \/>\n            &#13;<br \/>\n        <\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n        <a class=\"article-social-share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.denvergazette.com\/cdn-cgi\/l\/email-protection#8cb3fff9eee6e9eff8b1cfe4e9efe7a9bebce3f9f8a9bebcf8e4e5ffa9bebcedfef8e5efe0e9aaeee3e8f5b1e4f8f8fcffb6a3a3fbfbfba2e8e9e2fae9feebedf6e9f8f8e9a2efe3e1a3bebcbebaa3bcb9a3bcb5a3eee3eeefedf8a1fffce3f8f8e9e8a1e5e2a1efe9e2f8e9e2e2e5ede0a1e2e9e5ebe4eee3fee4e3e3e8a1edf9f8e4e3fee5f8e5e9ffa1fbedfee2a1fee9ffe5e8e9e2f8ffa3\" title=\"Share via Email\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n            &#13;<br \/>\n        <\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n        <a class=\"article-social-share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.denvergazette.com\/2026\/05\/09\/bobcat-spotted-in-centennial-neighborhood-authorities-warn-residents\/javascript:window.print()\" title=\"Print Page\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n            &#13;<br \/>\n        <\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n        &#13;<br \/>\n        <a class=\"article-social-share-icon\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"copyToClipboard('https:\/\/www.denvergazette.com\/2026\/05\/09\/bobcat-spotted-in-centennial-neighborhood-authorities-warn-residents\/'); return false;\" title=\"Copy Link\">&#13;<br \/>\n            &#13;<br \/>\n        <\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n    &#13;<\/p>\n<p>                                        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Authorities in Arapahoe County are warning residents about a new neighbor prowling their neighborhood.
