Man finds scared "kitten" on a stormy night and takes him home, one year later he realizes it was actually a Pallas' cat that has now taken over his apartment

'I never imagined that a stormy night in the park would change my life forever.' - Baz Paws

Cat lovers may be a lot of things (eccentric, quirky, introverted, etc), but one thing you can't fault them for is always putting an animal's needs before their own. We just can't help it. If we find a smol, rain-soaked kitten on a stormy night, no matter how inconvenient it is, we'll take them home, give them a warm and safe place to sleep, and figure the rest out tomorrow. That's what happened to Baz Paws in his YouTube video. He found a "kitten" alone in the rain and took it home. But, as the kitten grew, he realized that this wasn't a normal kitten at all.

This fluffy baby didn't really "meow" like other cats. He wouldn't eat his dry food and only nommed on meat. The biggest shock was when he started growing… and never stopped. He just grew. And grew. And grew. And grew!

By the time the "cat" was an adult, it was already adjusted to living indoors, and couldn't be released back into the wild, so now the man had a full-grown Pallas' cat running his life and taking over his apartment. They had to get to know each other all over again, because manuls are wild cats and not meant to live indoors. He has to buy meat for all his meals, he treats his territory different than normal indoor cats. He says it's like living with a giant grumpy furball, that secretly loves him like a pawrent. 

Now, you know that we have to put a disclaimer here: you should never attempt to raise a wild cat as your pet. Always contact the appropriate authorities, like a wildlife rescue organization. You don't want to become the next Joe Exotic, do you? As fun as might seem to live with one of these cantankerous floofballs, they are wild cats, and are not meant to live a domesticated life. The chances for a very dangerous "oopsie" are not worth it. 

But, what's done is done, and at the very least, we can live vicariously through him. Enjoy this hissterical and awwdorable video below showing their unique connection as pawrent and feline.
