bobcat

Sometimes, a tweet going viral is more than just mere entertainment. Sometimes, it does some good for animals as well. This is one of those times. When one of your friends runs a wildlife rescue and has rescued a bobcat kitten who is and "apex predator with two working brain cells," and that bobcat just so happens to be one of the cutest bobcats ever, twitter will take notice, will make that bobcat viral, and highly earned and needed donations will start coming in. 

Heartwarming tweets about animals make a difference sometimes, and twitter does indeed have its bright and selfless moments. So, we want to say thank you, and we hope that this wonderful, awwdorable kitten got all the dill it could have ever wanted!

This one is for the fearless cat lovers in the crowd who want to pet every single cat no matter how dangerous they are. Yes, every single one of them. Of course, we're not tooootally crazy cat ladies and gentlemen, we know that some cats shouldn't be petted unless we want our fingers bitten off, but that's why there are mini versions of big cats, duh. 

Even murdermuffins like bobcats have a mini version that is totally pet-able: baby murdermuffins - bobkittens. You're about to bask in the glory of their fierce cuteness, and your urge to pet one will only grow. 

We all know that taking care of baby animals is a lot of work; helping them get used to their environment and the people around them. But taking care of baby wild animals is even more challenging, and imgur user hereyougobacon71, who's helped rehabilitate animals previously, shows us exactly why that is. 

Working to rehabilitate a baby bobcat turned out to be quite a challenge - with the kitty showing off its fierceness with biting and playing and... climbing and claiming the washing machine and... climbing into hereyougobacon71's pants. Yeah, it's not what hereyougobacon71 expected either, which only makes it more entertaining. 

The cub will, of course, be released into the wild after its rehabilitation, but for now, we are really enjoying watching it grow up to be the fiercest of all kittens. 

Turns out, it wasn't exactly a domestic cat that this person brought into their home... The animal-loving samaritan saved what they thought was a cat stuck in their fence, and posted it on Craigslist in hopes of finding the owners. In the post, the person is asking for whoever is the owner to help call them back ASAP as the 'cat' is, "very vocal (and mean!!!!) ... Almost lost my fingers this morning trying to pet him." Finally, they found out that what they had rescued was actually a bobcat. 

When George opened up his home to wildlife during a wildfire, the bobcat they named Benji wasn't shy about showing his gratitude!
