I volunteered at a Big Cat rescue w/ mostly tigers. When they purr, you can feel their rumble vibrate the ground around them. Cats are cats no matter their size. At feeding time, they come trotting toward you, just like a housecat would, and then they start circling, meowing, and rubbing their heads up against you just like happy housecats do. They know who their people are.
@@CompressLuft as the OC is saying, ' the ground rumbles when they purr' , surely it's not a house-cat like sound . The behaviour is similar to purring, they're just gently roaring.
Know how house cats will randomly just claw the f*** out of you if you pet them for 5 milliseconds too long? Just like you said... Cats are just cats, big or small... Careful how long you pet ol long claws.
@@peterk.2108Exactly. Big wild cats are not meant to be domesticated like the average house cat. Their natural instincts and behaviours are always going to remain wild, regardless of how well trained they are.
Well, yeah. House cats technically aren't domesticated lol. They're both still "technically" wild animals. How much they put up with you is something else entirely lol
@@sepehradonis6959 It’s in a opinion thing which one you think the most beautiful cat is that’s an opinion question. I think they all beautiful. But I like the black stripes and orange on a tiger. Actually I searched it up and it said a leopard. I can absolutely see the leopard, Jaguar, and even Cheetah because of the spots. I think the lion has the classic mane look though and it is majestic looking.
You are correct about the melanistic leopard, they're different than the rest of those🙀 . Not that it will turn on anyone, but you're best with your back turned to all the rest, than that leopard. The leopard is an opportunist, it has the 👀 of a hunter looking at prey, but not quite confident yet. It doesn't trust her like the rest.
@@BaldyFade Only can be tamed if you own them since they're babies and even that, they could want to own their territory and that can be dangerous, also they need a really big playground
@@BaldyFade no sir, not at all. Even if you have the possibility to do it it's a big risk for you and the people around you. You can't be sure a 100% they're not gonna turn their back on you. Wild animals are unpredictable.
My hypothesises: dangerous animals look baby like cute to not be eaten by mates. The same way babies have those big eyes and round faces to not be eaten. So cats especially wake up our parental instincts to take care of them. And taking care of them makes us happy. That's why we do not eat cats. It is in our brain chemistry like eating babies.
When a cat turns on their back with all four legs in the air, its a symbol of great trust. She doesnt just have a good relationship with that tiger, she has a great relationship with that tiger. They completely trust her.
Not really, cats are just as effective at defending themselves on their back as on their front. It’s when they turn their back TO you and close their eyes that they don’t consider you a threat
I love your comment, as Pallas cats are my favorite wild animal. There's just something awesome about a cat that's so small & cuddly-looking, that could rip your face off in a moment's notice.😹
Are you talking about where they grab hold of you with the front paws and the back paws they just start scratching the brakes off of you while biting you at the same time?? Yeah I don't think you'd be alive after that with these kitties
@@streamer_services Dont underestemate their intelligence. They probably are somehow aware if a reaction would do serious damage to us. Thats why people are able to integrate themselves in a lion prides, etc. Animals can communicate stuff without going full rambo. On the other hand not underestimating that you are dealing with a deadly wild animal is more important.^^
Info: (for anyone who did not know) there are many large cat species, such as lions and tigers/ jaguars who do not naturally purr but can roar instead. In the case of the one tiger, he was excited (pleased) by the scratching as you could hear from its breathing.
actually, the one cat was purring, it was a cougar which is more closely related to smaller cats like ocelots, lynxes, or housecats,so they are capable of purrs
Yes!! Exactly Ty! Thank you for expanding on my thoughts on distinguishing the two groups of feline creatures! My main point still stands… Not all “cats” can purr!
Thats cause many a housecat is taken from their mom by the breeder too early and/or treated very wrong resulting in behavioral disorders and/or psychological stress and instability. The cat becomes aggressive for lack of know how to respond because their mother couldnt teach them to the end. A proper breed treated well will never attack a human with claws, they just go away if they dont want your attention, unless you can read their body language after some time, then you'll know better than to harass them until they go away in the first place. Owners complaining about their aggressive cats arent rare but its usually their own or the breeders incompetence or selfishness.
@@weebandgaminginc.7593 They're not true big cats. Lions, tigers jaguars and leopards are big cats. Cheetahs and pumas are more closely related to the domestic cat.
Okay, that Tiger at the end is way too cute. It almost fooled me for a house cat, lol. The laying down and then the head raise, followed by the look. "Why the scratchies stop?" You're living my dream. Stay safe out there!
IDK if you all understand this, but the eyes closed is a huge thing. For cats, even big ones, having eyes closed is a sign of complete and total trust in you
When she was scratching the Tiger, I didn't even know what it was, until she showed the rest of the body, then the head rolled forward and I realised damn he is big.
While they maybe dangerous animals, but is shows here how much love for this person, and as she does for them it's a beautiful thing too see, she cares for them with all her heart and they love her too, as you can see!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yep, I always thought they were Panthers too. If a big cat is black, like a lion or leopard, they’re called Panthers ☺️ from the genus Panthera. I actually just found out about the black lions, I had no idea there were/are black lions. Apparently there’s only one left. 😳 And I agree, he is beautiful. Those eyes are incredible!
@@ardikurniawan2310 Pumas are part of the Felidae genus, which makes them related to cougars and domestic cats. Black panthers technically aren't their own species of animal, but rather an umbrella term that can refer to any member of the Panthera genus that has the genetic mutation that makes them black. Members of the Panthera genus are lions, tigers, jaguars, leopards, and snow leopards. However, the gene has really only been found dominant in jaguars and recessive in leopards. Meaning most of the images you've seen of a black panther were images of a melenated jaguar. But technically speaking, if we were to find a lion or tiger that's all black they'd would count as a black panther too.
