Woman Adopts A Tiny Stray Kitten, Later Finds Out It's Actually A Puma

A woman in Argentina discovered that the pet kitten she had rescued months earlier was actually a wild animal when a trip to the veterinarian didn’t go as planned.



Their full scientific name is Puma Yagouaroundi. And while their name sounds large and impressive, they're actually just slightly larger than your average housecat. As reported by the Texas Parks & Wildlife's website, jaguarundis will normally weight between 8-16 pounds. But there is a happy ending for Tito. As Reuters informs us, Tito is doing well under the care of the nature reserve, and there are plans to someday release him back into his natural habitat.
