I'd recommend trapping it (humanely) and relocating it with the help of staff of the fish & wildlife comission. Bobcats aren't a pest in essence, but keep in mind your in its habitat, it's just doing what it naturally does, hunting for food.
Although it's odd that it would wander into a suburban area. Most of them stick to the foothills area and don't venture beyond that. Like what was said, it may become a threat potentially, so best leave it in their hands as they can make a proper assessment of it.
Until that happens though, I'd definately leave the cat indoors after dark or when it's unsupervised. i always make sure our cat is inside at nighttime, as there are sometimes coyotes and badgers that I worry about. Unfortunately, there isn't much I can do when I'm sleeping and I can't hear anything outside or see much of it since it's dark out.
