00:00It is safe to say that even if people don't like cats, they can't help but like kittens, if only
00:05a little bit.
00:17Kittens are just too soft and small not to love.
00:20If you're a full-blown cat lover, then you probably have a bit of a kitten obsession.
00:25I often try to adopt a kitten every other month, only to have my family tell me that is too
00:31many.
00:32One farmer in Russia stumbled upon a group of kittens in his barn.
00:36They'd been abandoned by their mother.
00:38The farmer waited, but the mama cat never came back.
00:46He took the kittens in, as they needed care, but after getting a good look at the kittens he realized
00:52something.
00:53They weren't average kittens.
00:55In fact, they looked nothing like any breed of house cat he'd ever seen.
01:00He realized there was a good reason for that, the kittens were not actually domestic cats.
01:06Much like the woman who found a kitten all alone in a dumpster, only to learn how rare he was,
01:12this farmer was in for a surprise.
01:16At first glimpse, I think anyone would mistake this little one as regular kitten, especially if that person was not
01:23familiar with newborn kittens and what they look like before they open their eyes.
01:28When the farmer realized that these kittens weren't actually how cats, he contacted Dorsky Nature Reserve.
01:35Turns out, their palace's cats are mantles, a small wild cat that is native to Central Asia.
01:53The palace's cat is the size of a domestic cat, though their tails are much longer and can reach about
01:5812 inches in length.
02:00They look much denser and plushier than how cats, but they weigh the same too.
02:05The four kittens were cared for by Dorsky Nature Reserve, where they got mama care from two cats at the
02:11reserve.
02:12The cats bonded well with the babies and cared for them like they are their own.
02:17Have you ever seen a wild cat quite as cute as them?
02:20Please share these adorable cats with all of your friends and family.
02:52Bye-bye.
02:53Bye-bye.
02:53Bye-bye.
02:55Bye-bye.
