'He's letting me pet him on his belly': Cute abandoned kitten found on hooman’s porch turns out to actually be a baby bobcat looking for wholesome home, he gets safely saved to join cute cubs in sanctuary

There's something so ingrained in human nature that makes us want to adopt, hold, and love cute things. Baby animals touch the hearts of everyone, even your bitter, grumpy, Harley Davidson riding tough guy will melt at the site of a puppy or newborn kitten. The story here involves that kind of inherent love and admiration for animals, but we don't know much about the protagonist involved. He claims a wild bobcat just showed up on his porch, and being a friendly and curious human, he went to pet the little guy. This wild bobcat cub actually purred, and even rolled over on his back to show his belly to be pet. 

An unthinkable trajectory from wild animal and kitten to purring up to strangers, and even going into their home. Of course though, the wholesome hooman called animal rescue, though reluctantly. The internet applauds his ability to do the responsible thing, despite wanting to keep the kitten as his own.
