Here is a little something to brighten up your day! I mean, who doesn’t love adorable, wild cats?!?
Artist Kathy Maniscalco brightened up our day when she posted photos and videos of a mama bobcat with her 5 kittens relaxing near her home in Sante Fe, New Mexico.
While 3 of the tiny bobcats were sitting on the wall with their mom, 2 others were up in the porch. One of the pair that wasn’t afraid to climb up can be seen meowing at the camera while the other one looks like we all do after a tough week at work.

Kathy told KOB4 in a phone interview all about the playful encounter.
“Oh, lo and behold there were babies, babies that were having their milk snack. I thought, ‘Oh this is just too good to be true! What a gift!’ So I just kept recording little video clips and they stopped feeding then they started, in another video that I posted, they started playing,” she said.
According to Kathy, the kittens were stretching, relaxing, and generally being adorable. “We got to see their beautiful spotted tummies and the momma cleaning them and it was just so amazing. I couldn’t believe my eyes because I was literally 6 inches away from them. They did not mind at all my iPhone recording them.”
That’s when Kathy noticed the two kittens hidden up in her porch. “And they were so at peace and I thought, ‘This is a message maybe for all of us just to relax.”
