Happy Monday, I Can Has-ers and feline enthusiasts. There are so many cats that need our help out there and we love writing about all the wholesome heroes who take time out of their days to rescue them. The helpful hooman bean in this post was cruising down the highway when he found none other than a tiny kitten in the middle of the lanes! Poor thing must have been so scared, so he scooped him up and took him to safety. However….

The more he looked at this cute kitten, the more he understood that something was strange. His wholesome, scrawny stray had a mighty roar, and he realized that this "not my cat" was not one to keep as a pet. He contacted the appropriate rescue agency and got this wild, fuzzy firecracker into the appropriate care. Scroll down to see the full story and see what surprise this tiny baby had in store!

    We would have so much trouble not trying to keep this little fuzzy firecracker as a pet. Look how cute he is! We could never resist that face, it's a good thing we didn't find him.

    Baby bobcat I saved from a busy highway. He was sent to a certified big kitty refuge and is doing well.

    Well, now we know that bobcat babies are literally the cutest kittens ever. If we go missing in the woods for a couple of weeks, it's definitely because we're searching for lost bobcat kittens. We know we shouldn't….but why friend-shaped if not friend?

    SwanRonson1986 OP 12 hr. ago • Bobkitty was pretty skittish from its time on the road and getting zoomed past by cars and being away from mommy. But, it did appreciate some safety and quiet. I tried not to handle it more than necessary. But, it wasn't averse to rubs when I was handling it
