People find a wild catamount struggling to stay afloat in the sea, rescue him from the water, and help the exhausted wild cat make it back to shore

The useful part

We have said this for the longest time, of course, but we will reiterate because we think it's appropriate at this moment. One day, without a doubt, we will end up on the news for trying to pet something that we should not have. Why do some people choose their profession so early on that they can help raise cheetahs and then have bonds with them for life?

How it works

• So if I were these people in this story, who somehow came across a drowning wild cat in the ocean and got to save it, then yes, I, too, would have petted that big cat.
• These are questions that I ask myself every time I see something like that.
• When life gives you lemons… you must accept that you may have lost a finger or two in the process and then make that lemonade.
• Hey, what they did might have been dangerous, but we hope that every one of us would have done the same.

Details worth keeping

As someone who gets irrationally excited about every single cat, wild and housecat, and also as someone who gets jealous of every other person who gets to have a bond with a big cat that we can't have… yes, I'll end up on the news for trying to pet a lion or something. Why do some people get to be part of a lion pack and I cannot? Maybe the petting was overboard, but they did save this...
