Santa Rosa police urged residents in a neighborhood on the eastern side of the city to keep small pets inside Tuesday morning after a mountain lion was spotted.

The animal was seen by a resident in the area of Montgomery and Jacqueline drives, police said in a Nixle alert.

It was not lingering in the area and was not acting aggressively, police said.
