“Bobcat” bribes 3 good boy guard dogs to let her give birth under their pawrent’s bed, turning a daring animal control call into a surprise kitten rescue

We love our dogs, but they would sell us out for a spoonful of peanut butter. So, it must not have been hard for the Cat Distribution System to bribe them to let this wild "bobcat" in to safely deliver her litter in peace.

Why do people get cats? Because they want to live with a furry roommate who bosses them around all the time and occasionally likes to snuggle. That's pretty much the only reason. But there are many reasons why people adopt dogs.

In the past, people adopted dogs for safety and survival. Dogs used to help their owners hunt and protect them from dangers trying to enter their territory. Now, our doggos are about as useful for safety as a fork is for eating soup. They are great companions and purrfectly lovable, but they're not going to bark at an intruder - they're going to present him with their favorite toy and ask for belly rubs.

The doggos in this post from Reddit's r/Millennials subreddit just verifies our claim. Their pawrent came home to find her puppers lazily lying on the bed, while she heard a choir of tiny meows coming from underneath her bed. Normally, an animal lover would be thrilled to find a litter free kittens, but there was only one problem: she didn't own a cat.

There was another pawtential problem that she didn't want to test: there is a big bobcat population in her area, so there is a chance that it wasn't any normal cat that chose her room as their nursing area. It could be a wild bobcat.

And her doggos? Completely unbothered. In fact, they actually seemed to be guarding the new mama cat and her kittens, regardless of if it really is a bobcat or not. How does one go about checking safely if the meowsterious cat underneath your bed will attack you or not?
The correct answer is that you shouldn't! You should call animal control and have them take care of the situation to not endanger yourself, or your extremely useful guard dogs. Mama cats, regardless of if they're wild or not, can be very purrtective of their babies. Best not to test their limits!

Surprise! It's just a rare orange female cat. Unless, that is, there is a new species of orange bobcat that we haven't heard of. If so, we would love some more pictures of it because we just discovered orange pallas' cats, and that absolutely made our day!
