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.
"Also not to self these things have very sharp teeth and claws even when they are this tiny."
"Should add to this, he is not a pet, and I will repeat this Not A Pet. He is still a wild animal. I do not own him, he is being rehabbed to be released back into the wild. The is still the cute kitten stage, and training stage. I am month or so I will not be able to do this, he will be to wild and come spring will leave to find his area. I work with the DNR and we do this a lot, get one to two cats a year along with other animals, mostly deer, squirrel, and porcupine. But since we had this one as a kitten it see us as part of his family, so he is a little more gentle with us."
