The Argentine woman adopted two small wild cats, but was bitten only to find out that it was a mountain lion

According to the British "Daily Mirror" reported on November 26, Florencia, an 18-year-old woman in Argentina, found two small wild cats on the street and took them home to breed. However, in a later accident, the kittens bite her, and she is surprised to find that they are not cats at all, but mountain lions.

At that time, Florencia, who lived in northwestern Argentina, was out fishing with her brother and accidentally found two cat cubs next to their dead mother. The kittens looked less than a week old, hungry and helpless, and their mothers should have been attacked by large animals, as the torso below the waist was gone.

Florencia brought them home and named them "Danny" and "Tito", respectively. Danny was so weak that he couldn't stand up and died a week later. Tito, on the other hand, was healthy and became her loyal playmate, following her everywhere and following the direction of her whistle.

However, Florencia found the cat a little unusual: too active. "It likes to play, it bites, it runs fast, it always jumps on the table and then it jumps down, and it probably thinks it's normal," she says. She even shared a bed with Tito, but she never dreamed it would be a cougar.

One day, Tito suddenly bit Florencia's leg. She didn't know what to do, so she took Tito to the vet. Only then did she learn that Tito was not a cat at all, but a ferocious mountain lion. Florencia gave Tito to the Argentine Wildlife Conservation Foundation, who were responsible for her release. However, despite being a mountain lion, Florencia misses it and fears that it will not be able to adapt to life in the wild.
