Encounters with wildlife always have us torn somewhere between wanting to "aww" and being mildly terrified. Like, the person who was chased by a cow on valentines day probably thought the cow was cute for a second before starting to scream, or when the tiniest most dramatic possum infiltrated a cat rescue... actually, the possum was still awwdorable at the end.
The following collection of tweets captures that feeling of adorable terror perfectly. Looking out the window one day, this twitter user found its home surrounded by tiny but fierce little felines - bobcat kittens, and other twitter users rushed to share their own wildlife encounters that left them "aww"ing but staying the heck home.
It's like going to the zoo for these animals, watching us through our windows at home. We feel like they've earned a class tip every once in a while too.
Torn. That's what we are. Look at how adorable these little babies are, lying there in shape in all of their purrfect glory. We want to pet. But also - danger. But we want to pet so badly. Out fight or flight instinct has kicked in, and it is screaming: PET THEM. We don't know how this person managed to hold back.
If they would stay little forever, let's be real, we would be adopting them all the time. Who cares about the ruined scratched-up couch or the fact that it would try to eat our toes every once in a while. It it fluffy, it is pretty, it meows, and we desperately want it.
