Animal shelter gets unpleasant surprise after seemingly abandoned kitten turns out to be aggressive wildcat
NY Post
They thought she was cute kitty — until her claws came out.
A German animal shelter got an unpleasant surprise when staffers discovered a seemingly abandoned kitten was actually an aggressive European wildcat.
A good Samaritan found the tiny creature on the road and after taking it home, realized it was feisty and refused to eat, so brought it to the Tierheim Bergheim animal shelter, The Dodo reported.
The shelter, located in Bergheim, about 25 miles from Cologne, immediately identified it as a European wildcat, which is the size of a large domestic cat and a protected species native to the area.
Tierheim Bergheim posted a video of the adorable animal suddenly hissing on its Facebook page, along with a caption explaining that it needed to be moved to Retscheider Hof, a wildlife station.
“Staff [at the shelter] immediately recognized that this was not an ordinary domestic kitten,” a spokesperson for the Retscheider Hof wildlife center told the outlet.

For someone with millions of followers across his social platforms, content creator Nick Cassano, aka Nicky Cass, is surprisingly low-key. Although he played baseball throughout childhood and in college (graduating from Montclair State University in New Jersey with a marketing degree), he never dreamed he’d throw out the first pitch for the Yankees and the Mets, let alone chill in his backyard with the Stanley Cup. Those are just a few of the perks that come with being the founder of Nicky Cass Media and filming videos that bring in thousands — sometimes millions — of views.

I led a successful meeting where I was under a lot of pressure, and afterwards the attendees gave me a lot of praise for it. I did a lot of preparation and am proud of the outcome, but it was only me from my team so my boss has no way of knowing how well I did. If I tell him will it sound like I’m bragging? How do I mention it?
