Chattanooga, Tennessee - T'challa may be a wildcat, but he has a soft spot for an unlikely cuddle companion.

Wildcats are not exactly known for being vegetarians.

T'challa's caretaker Juniper Russo of the animal rescue organization For Fox Sake Wildlife therefore never bothered to bring veggies to the little one's habitat.

But one day Russo passed the bobcat's enclosure with a huge box of veggies, and T'challa cried out lout: he wanted some too!

"I handed him a fennel bulb, expecting that he would realize that he didn’t want it after all," Russo told The Dodo.

It came very different. Instead of being disgusted, the adorable animal graved the bulb, snuggled it and even brought it to bed with him.

That's when the cuddle session began.

Never in a million years did it cross the cuddly cat's mind to bite her newest favorite toy.

In the meantime, the one-time incident evolved into an adorable ritual between Russo and T'challa.

Whenever Russo passes by his habitat with a bowl of vegetables, she give him some fennel.

"He cuddles with it and rubs against it and brings it to his bed to sleep with it," Russo said. "When he has multiple fennel bulbs at one time, he sometimes puts the extras into his toy cache to save for later."

It may be unusual, but you can't pick who you fall in love with – even if that someone is a vegetable!
