14 DAY TRIAL // About two weeks ago, on November 2, Abilene Zoo in Texas welcomed an adorable ocelot kitten. Not long after birth, the baby feline was transferred to Cincinnati Zoo's Children's Zoo, and is presently kept in a nursery.
Keepers are taking turns to watch him around the clock, and, judging by the video above, the kitten does not in the least mind being at the center of attention.
From what I can tell, the ocelot kitten's favorite time of the day is when someone is kind enough to give him a good belly rub. Still, he does not look opposed to the idea of back scratches either. Zoo Borns tells us that, in the summer of 2014, the feline will go on display as part of the Cincinnati Zoo's Cheetah Encounter Show. By then, he will probably figure out what's what and start acting more like a fierce predator and less like a helpless furball in dire need of attention.
