Tiger who has been chained up and forced to do tricks her entire life gets rescued, takes her very first free steps, sniffs grass, scratches a tree, and even makes a friend
It's good to celebrate the times that big cats like that get rescued. Whether it's a lion cub getting rescued and being given a chance at a new life, if it's mountain lions getting rescued and learning to enjoy life again, or if it's a tiger getting rescued, like the one that you will be meeting today, and being given a chance, for the first time in her life, to taste freedom. And like the comments under the video say: "Such a beautiful animal. And seeing her playing like a kitten is heartwarming. I hope she lives the rest of her life in comfort and peace."

Lucky kitten saved by highway driver who pulls over to make last-minute rescue, now he's the smallest addition to their awwdorable family
This poor kitty was abandoned on a highway, and no one stopped for him, until one driver took notice. They pulled over and scooped up the flustered feline in distress and immediately took him to the vet. Thanks to their last-minute rescue, this little guy is healing up nicely, safe and sound. Apparently, the CDS goes to the extremes on Friday the 13th, and if not for this wholesome hooman, well, we don't want to think of the alternative. See more pics of this kitty cutie below!

Person buys an expensive black cat from an owner claiming that it is a Maine Coon Norwegian Forest Cat mix, the buyer is convinced they were lied to, but the feline wins over them anyway
One of the coolest things about being a cat owner is that we love all cats, no matter their breeds, no matter where they came from. A trashcan kitty is worthy just as much as a cat who cost thousands of dollars. Because cats are just… cats. And they always behave like cats - they will have the same moments of shenanigans and love, no matter who they are.

Police officers attempt to lure a bobcat that broke into a house by making it chase lasers, thinking that all cats like lasers, but the bobcat is entirely unimpressed with them
If we didn't know a better way of doing it, then we too might have tried to lure a bobcat that broke into someone's house by getting it to chase a laser. What a cute idea, right? It's a good thing that the bobcat did not fall for these human's silly tricks, because we don't think that they thought through what would have happened had it worked. A bobcat frantically running around inside a house trying to catch a magically disappearing dot and getting frustrated over failing… yeah, we would have paid to see that.
