It's because cats are only just barely domesticated. From an evolutionary perspective they're still far closer to their wild counterparts (and thus to big cats) than dogs are to wolves. A lot of people get wolfdogs thinking they'll be like any other dog and get into trouble when they aren't. By contrast, a big cat is like 95% the same as any housecat...they're just uh, fucking lethal.
Cats have never been genetically domesticated. The cats we live with are technically wild animals by any real biological metric when compared to domestic cows, pigs dogs, goats etc etc etc
Adorable to see the big cats go crazy for some catnip. I had no idea that Jaws the hyena would love it as much as the cats do. Of course my favorite is when Tank makes the stinky face when he smells something, lol! Thank you for sharing part of your day with us!
They all see themselves in reflective surfaces "omg dude i had no idea i was so colorful!" Then they just keep walking by the reflective surface multiple times to check themselves out lol
@@latonyanewsome0 big cats have it to blend in to their environs better so they can be better at hunting and the small kitties got it from the big kitties somewhere along the way, much the same way that there's a few dog breeds that look wolf-like but they arent really wolves.
Thank you for the fabulous video! I really enjoyed watching these large cats get all goofy over catnip! I've learned something new today too! I was also very interested in the fact that you have several different types of cats living in harmony with each other. Is this a sanctuary?

It’s amazing how these beautiful creatures act like our domestic cats act when it comes to catnip.😃 Did I hear someone say Happy Birthday to one of the cats, which one please? Thank Sammie. Happy Birthday to whichever cat🐾🎂🐾🎂🎉😃
They're just big old soft kitties! Every single one of them just adorable. I mean with one swipe of their paw I would be gone. However they look like big old soft kitties who love their nip.
I’m cracking up! Who’s the panther, again? I thought she was getting ready to do a headstand and flop right off? And everytime a big cat’s huge head touches the floor there’s a loud thump! 😅😂. Even the hyena (Jaws?) loves the ‘nip!!!😅
Big Kitties And Little Kitties ALL Love Their Catnip! My Three Indoor Kitties Are Wild About It!!! It's Just Hysterical Watching Them When They've Got A Buzz!!!‼️💪💪💪😇🌟🤗📛🕊️🕊️🕊️💞💓💕😘😍🥰❤️❣️💯✝️🛐✝️🛐🤰🤱🧬🤰🤱💖🕯️💖🕯️💖🕯️🌺🌺🌺🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏🇹🇼🇨🇦🇮🇱♾️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🗽🦅‼️
I swear, these people have way more self restraint than me. Cause the moment they began lying down and rolling in the catnip, I would not be able to resist petting them. The part of my brain that tells me they're dangerous animals would just turn off only leaving the word "KITTY!".
It makes sense the hyena loved catnip as they share a common ancestor to big cats. People think they are related to dogs, but in fact they are related to big cats.
So if you want any change of survival in the jungles of South America, India or the plains of Africa you need a mace type spray canister of catnip if you're being stalked by a big cat 😂 It'd either work or they'd go full on Bruce from Finding Nemo and go into an absolute rage 😮
i don't want to sound ignorant, but i'm not really familiar about taking care of big cats such as Jaguars, Lions, Panthers or even Pumas. What does ensure that he (Tank), or the others don't attack caretakers such as yourself ? Simply being with them since birth ? I do enjoy your videos, but i fear sometimes their apex instinct kicks in 😅
I suspect that they've had most of their big cats from the time they were very young. That makes an enormous difference in their temperment. Some big cat species (lions come to mind) to tend to be more aggressive--Lions are unusually social for cats of any size & their social structures are very much dominance-based, but by large cats of all sizes tend to be both pragmatic & pretty lazy. 🙂 If they're raise by humans who feed them well & provide them with their essential needs they tend to see their humans more as friends than good. That does NOT mean you should think of them as pets, of course. Learning how to take care of big cats IS a full-time job that requires a lot of expertise. It IS worth keeping in mind that in their natural habitats big cats sometimes do learn to prey on humans, particularly when they're natural prey sources have been depleted. They're highly adaptive animals.
@@grahamstrouse1165 so basically not giving them any reason to attack the caretakers by feeding them (keeping the belly always full), taking care of them, and being with them almost since birth. Basically eliminating all the reasons why would they want to harm someone. I know this only works with the caretaker, probably someone like us who considered as strangers would be dinner instead of friends 😅
The way Sita gets absolutely zonked has me in stitches. I was afraid she'd roll straight off of the deck a few times.

@@safarisammie oops, wrong cutie. Embarrassing!
It's crazy how you can see the same behaviors in big cats as you do with domesticated ones.

They're all cute kittys
Domesticated cats. Oxymoron.
Cats have never been genetically domesticated. The cats we live with are technically wild animals by any real biological metric when compared to domestic cows, pigs dogs, goats etc etc etc
@TheGreatWhiteUKhouse cats can like water and cats in general are fairly social. It's harder to domesticate non social animals

Interestingly enough hyenas are related to cats.
Hyenas aren't dogs, they're not cats either but they're felids so much closer to cats.
Some of natures perfect killing machines designed an built to be unbeatable in the wild. Defeated by catnip.
The hyena reacting to catnip was the most surprising
They really are just cats on dog hardware lol
I was like, one of these is not like the others 🤣
Hyenas are closely related to cats than to dogs
@@GreenCreeperGamerno they're not
@@multifandomgirl5958they're not cats ffs
Big cats: "The colors, man, the colors!"😵😵😵
They see sound and hear colors😂
@@kennybrown5311They taste colors
They all see themselves in reflective surfaces "omg dude i had no idea i was so colorful!" Then they just keep walking by the reflective surface multiple times to check themselves out lol
Even domesticated cats have beautiful coats. Idk why felines have such gorgeous coats.

I never expected to see a hyena to like catnip, but at the same time it makes sense if you think about it
They’re actually more related to cats than they are to dogs.
@@rockmangurlx4973Correct! Through the Feliformia family.
Tank's reaction to the catnip spray 😂🥰❤ so cute
❤❤😂😂👍👍💯💥💥♥️♥️🐆🐅🤩🤩✌️✌️🙏🙏
They act the same way as small cats. All cute and, goofy. Even your hyena was acting like a cat!
Hyenas are actually fairly closely related to cars-much closer than they are to canids, anyway.
@@grahamstrouse1165where in my car do I put the catnip
I can only imagine how amazing it feels to spend every day with them ❤
I love kitties “nose noises” and it’s extra cute when they’re big cat noses! Also, I’ve never seen a cat hiss at catnip until now! 😹😻❤️
The black panther is so glossy looking~ and also quite goofy 😂
I keep finding catnip growing in the wild in illinois. From chicago to the west suburbs. My 5 cats love it!!
the big cats look just as cute as the little ones on catnip 😅
Out on Safari in Afirca. Fall off the truck. Get surrounded by lions. Grab the first thing out of the bag. Catnip bomb. It goes off in my hand. Uh-oh.
Чёрный и жёлтый ягуары - природные произведения искусства!
Просто глаз не оторвать, какая у них расцветка😍

me watching these big cats : "i know they could rip me apart, but i still want to pet them"
They don't get angry or inadequate, they just being silly a little bit over usual :3
2:14 “you found it 😊” “mhm 🦁 “
All the kits are adorable. I would love to pet them
These are not house cats.
@@audreyricci6383 I know
A cat is a cat is a cat. They all like catnip.
No matter the size there still kittens that love some catnip
It's like universal among cats in general, and hyenas ,look like they all felt soo good,🐆🦁🐈
You Take Such Exquisite Care of Them 😻,Thank you For Sharing & Being Sooo Awesome urself 🙋💨💐
I love them all and they are beautiful but Tank is my favorite
Here! This is the first video of yours that I have seen and I love it! Also I can't help this: BIG KITTY
Remember with these vids cat=cat regardless of size
EXACTLY
Even the hyena! 😍🙌😂💗
Hyenas are more related to cats than dogs. Kinda weird, because they look more like dogs.
@@12131569They're in no way related to dogs even though they may look like dogs. They're related to cats through the Feliformia family.
Beautiful cats ❤😊
This is adorable. Big cats getting high!❤

Looks like the black cat got so high, the fur was changing color. I can imagine it thinking how it ended up in the tire: "How'd I get here?!" 🤣🤣

I hope that black Jaguar doesn't have to take a drug test after this because no way he's passing it!😂😂
Lovely to watch such majestic and powerful animals just goofing off to a smelly plant!
yeah humans sure do like mariju-...wait you meant the cats and their catnip lol 😉
1:35 - "Susan, you're on DRUGS again, AREN'T YOU??"
They're just big old soft kitties! Every single one of them just adorable. I mean with one swipe of their paw I would be gone. However they look like big old soft kitties who love their nip.
After these big cats got high on the catnip, they started looking for a big bag of Doritos.
Breaking cat
Wow! Full marks! I thought at least one of em wouldn't be interested.
00:50 is exactly how my orange male tabby acts over catnip. Almost to a T
I’m cracking up! Who’s the panther, again? I thought she was getting ready to do a headstand and flop right off? And everytime a big cat’s huge head touches the floor there’s a loud thump! 😅😂. Even the hyena (Jaws?) loves the ‘nip!!!😅

This is adorable, love watching them how cute.
Ecellent now i know how to walk threw the serengetti without getting attacked i just dipp my self in catnip and all the cats will love me 😁😁😁
Silly dope fiend cats,too cute.
And those spots on the Jaguar !
These cats are baked. Completely baked.
So cuteness🥰🔥🤩
What got a giggle out of me was the Hyena.
They look like children in a candy shop 😂
Or a bunch of crackheads in your local alleyway
Love this video thanks so much Sammie, needed a laugh!❤❤❤❤❤
Once a cat, always a cat no matter how big they are
Sooo Great to watch..!
Thank you !!
Such beautiful kitties ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes big cat is basically ur average home cat. They just happens to be big that's all
😂😂🤗I like how the roll round in it
Jaguars gotta rank top on my list of big cats I *need* to hug despite the health risk. Those big chunky skull-crushing heads just look so pettable
Impresionante como a todos los gatos les afecta está plantita
I love these cats.
❤ they seem to love it I should Get my house cat some
Gemini reminds me of Peter Griffin when he took meth on Family Guy. 😂
The first hit is free! 😊
It's hilarious that these big cats react exactly like my little kitties.
I'm so jealous of Sammie's life.

No wonder stoners and cats get along so well !
The movie Lion with Idris Elba could've been easily survivable for all involved with some catnip.
This is me when I smell chocolate; probably they get a similar dopamine hit 😂
they are adorable, wish I can see them, play with them
Tank is like, I'm high as a vulture, and hungry too
Ahhh 😊😊I l❤v tank its so adorable ❤❤☺☺😍😍
No matter how big they are, they're still cats
Soooooo beautiful 🥰🥰😊😊😮😮
even hyena? wow 😮
Nothing like watching big cats getting high off of catnip
OMG! These beautiful beasties!
I swear, these people have way more self restraint than me. Cause the moment they began lying down and rolling in the catnip, I would not be able to resist petting them. The part of my brain that tells me they're dangerous animals would just turn off only leaving the word "KITTY!".

"I love you, man. Nonono, I LOOVE YOU, MAN!!!!"

If a human sprayed themselves with catnip perfume. Would they be protected from wild cats attacks?
God I love big cats
Cute cat's
Some of those big kitties got real Hakuna Matata lol
Cats gotta cat.
You should try spraying it on them. They look like they want to wear it like Parfum
If I cover myself in catnip, will I get cuddles from big cats?
They're like "The aroma is most pleasing!"
I get a feeling cats like strong smells because they camouflage odor. Always find mine laying in the spearmint by my house.
Oh my God! Look at these adorable babies!❤
Ahhh so big cats DO purr
Only some. Tigers, lions, leopards, and jaguars don’t, but cougars and cheetahs do
