Carlos Gonzalez and Baxter the Bobcat made amends from Monday's feud and are now friends

Consuming social media as much as we all do, you've no doubt come across one of those pages that aggregates and shares amazing, tug-at-your-heartstrings videos of animals being cute. Sometimes, these clips are geared around humans petting or interacting with these animals, to smileworthy results.

Time heals all wounds, indeed.
