Adorable Bobcat Family Goes Viral After Making Woman’s Porch Their Home

Imagine going outside to get some fresh air and seeing something really wild! That’s what happened to one grandma when a bobcat family made her porch their chill spot. 

Her granddaughter Soph decided to record a video and posted it on TikTok. Little did she know, a video would become viral in a nick of time.

In the video, a cute bobcat cub is seen confidently wandering around the porch, checking out the furniture, and trying to climb the fence.

However, this wasn’t just a one-time thing. In a previous post, Soph shared that the porch visitors are actually a whole bobcat family! 

There’s Marty, the mama bobcat (sounding a bit scarier!), and her two playful cubs, lovingly named Tini and Olive.

They seem to have made themselves at home under grandma’s porch, turning it into their cozy den. 

Now, Grandma trying to peacefully live alongside her new neighbors. When she goes out to water the plants, she softly claps a pair of metal lids together, hoping to scare off the bobcats without any conflict.

I’ve heard about bobcats doing things like this before. They’re most active at dusk and dawn and are creatures of habit. 

They also follow the same paths every night to find food and shelter, which is why Grandma might see them then.

The video has become really popular, getting more than 20 million views and 3.3 million likes! It’s crazy how nature is all around us. 

You never know, you might see some cute animals in your own backyard one day! It’s like having a bobcat cub as a porch inspector instead of a doorbell camera.

But remember, even though they’re adorable, they’re still wild animals. So, it’s best to keep your distance, watch them from a distance, and maybe leave out some cat food as a welcome gift.
