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!

    Vertebrate - Yell in a War ... @jelenawoehr I'm still on Facebook mostly because I have a friend who runs a wildlife rescue and had to keep a bobcat that's unreleasable because he was dropped on his head by a hawk as a kitten and doesn't understand he's a predator It's an absolute Pixar movie. Fennel is his favorite toy. 9:20 PM Mar 18, 2021 Twitter for iPhone 6,144 Retweets 697 Quote Tweets 43.5K Likes

    This is both one of the saddest and most adorable things ever. We wish this never would have happened to this kitten, but at the same time, we're so happy that it found itself in good hands with people who somehow figured out it loves dill so much. Also, someone, please make a movie about this adorable guy.

    Cat - Yell in a War @jelenawoehr Replying to @jelenawoehr This bobcat is not bright. I cannot overstate how not bright he is. An apex predator in his natural ecosystem, meant to patrol a range of multiple square miles and terrorize smaller wildlife, in captivity he has taken up sunbathing and eating vegetables. 9:23 PM - Mar 18, 2021 - Twitter for iPhone 940 Retweets 119 Quote Tweets 12.2K Likes

    He has become the truest house kitty, and we kind of want to adopt it, not gonna lie. It would be an extra big and extra fluffy cat to cuddle, and nothing sounds better to us than that. We would provide all the dill necessary as well, we promise, just let us pet this itty bitty sunshine cutie.

He'll be an education animal in schools, post-pandemic, because he probably thinks he IS a human third grader. HE BRAT HE SAT HE BAT But most of all.

    Organism - Yell in a War ... @jelenawoehr Replying to @jelenawoehr Video description for the above tweet: Bobcat investigates box labeled "To T'Challa, Love, Internet." The box is full of fennel bulbs and big fluffy toys. He runs away when the box makes a noise and rolls on his back in the sun, but then goes back to the box and chooses a toy. 田

    Font - Lee SM In Cancer Recovery @evilgrrl ... Replying to @jelenawoehr I think he has revealed his actual genius and superiority to cats and humans both, as he just lays around and gets fed for being cute. No more hunting for him!
