A kitten is an amazing creature. Who can not like an animal that only lives to cuttle, randomly make noise at 3:00 a.m and ask you to fill their plate with food, consistently. It is the perfect mix between a deadly hairy hunter and a love ball.
A woman from Argentina found out, the hard way, the size of love depends on the size of cat. It turns out that Florencia Lobos, 18, went for a walk in a wooded area with her brother to reach a place where they can fish. The idea was to relax in the presence of nature and enjoy the simple things in life. However, a familiar noise led her to a cave where she found two little kittens.
After some mild scientific deduction, she believed they were abandoned since they looked malnourished. So Florencia, being the caring person she is, decided to take them home to care for them. Unfortunately one was very weak and died a few days later. However, the other kitten showed no signs of health problems. He was more alive than many of us.
Florencia became fond of the little cat, which was really not, and went to incredible lengths to make sure it was well nourished. Tito, as she lovenly named it, began to grow and show incredible strength. It began to develop very quickly and when we say very quickly, we mean furr-ious fast. It was there, at that point in time, while reflecting and thought processing, that the woman’s concern began.
Florencia googled and consulted several websites about felines looking for explanations of what was happening to Tito, without receiving satisfactory answers until she contacted the Argentine Animal Rescue Foundation, who after examining the feline, gave her the reason for its immense size: it was not a cat, but rather a wild jaguarundi cougar. What a catastrophe!

This #Jaguarundi was spotted in Tesoro Escondido Reserve in Ecuador by our partner @FJocotoco_EC. This small cat is actually the closest living relative of the Cougar! #FromTheField
