      No ... What's frightening is that your Housecats act just like this. We love our little psychopaths, but the only reason they haven't eaten us is because of their dimutive size.

      No doubt about it. I'm sure it was no accident that the domestic cats we keep as pets were bred to be so small. Otherwise they might just eat us for their breakfast if the mood struck them...lol.

      The domestic Housecat and their closest wild cousins the North African Wildcat are virtually the same size. Selective breeding produced the different coats and colors, and skull morphology changes in breeds such as the Persian. But the common Gray Tabby is virtually identical to the North African Wildcat. They are closer genetically than dogs are to Gray Wolves.
      No one could fault you for saying the Housecat is the Wildcat, especially now that colonies of ferals have been interbreeding with the Wildcats.

      Oh they do, there's been several recorded instances of cats eating their owners after they die. People just dont like talking about it because they dont like acknowledging that cats wont lay down and die if their owners die like some dogs will. It's not that they dont care, its just that thats how cats work, food is food.

      +RastaSaiyaman yes the sad thing is they are, and no matter how large they still play the same way that cute kittens do , and other housecats, they cant be all the way domesticated though, actually thats a misnomer anyway, cats came to humans we did not trap them and force them to know us as their master, they came to the barns and farms for the rodents, they came by their own rules, and fairly much live by them, and they are solitary mostly no matter if big cat or house cat they are still ambush preditors, its said some even like to get into catnip but it dont affect all of the big cats.

      Many years ago, when laws were less strict, there was actually a pet store that had a cougar named "Carma". She was a rescue and was raised from a kitten, knew no other life. During the day she was often displayed at a local mall, the rest of the time, she spent in a large enclosure in the country. She was very tame, declawed, and she would "play" with you. Loved to be petted and rubbed. Trouble was, she'd knock you over when she pounced on you. When you scratched her back she'd arch her back and "purr" (more like a growl) or try to 'talk" to you. As laws became more strict in North Carolina, she was forced by Wildlife to go to a nature preserve/zoo to live out the rest of her life. I DID get to pet the "kitty"! :)

You might as well walk up to someone whose 16yo daughter is giving them a hug and say "you know, she has opposable thumbs and could pick up a gun and shoot you." There are so many pet cougar videos and the cougars are all like this, purring and showing obvious affection.

    To those bitching, take a closer look at the video. You can see numerous fenced-off areas al over the place. This is likely some kind of big cat rescue kind of thing, and the cats seem to have some kind of indoor area, since I can't see any other cats outside.

      ***** I think they took her outside. You can see her paw prints outside of the fence area. Looked like she was at first exited so they got the camera, she then decided to ignore them and investigate her water bowl(frozen) andwent to the other corner. One of the caretakers, you see his shadow at near the end, went in there and probably filled her water bowl while she was being petted.

      ***** .....spoken like someone whos entire life has been looking at animals in zoos. You clearly never seen them in the wild. No matter how "tame" a large cat is. It will always run on instincts first. Those instincts are to hunt prey and eat. It doesn't care who you are. The best example would be the famed tiger attack on roy from Sigfried and Roy. That tiger was one of the eldest and most tame. Yet it acted on instinct to defend itself when roy bopped it on the head with his mic.

    • @woopwoop2601
      @woopwoop2601 11 років тому +55

      nanakimurasaki Oh dear, that's a lovely sounding sentiment, but I prefer to deal with reality rather than soppy sentiments. Whatever age it is if this animal is tame, at least to the degree that it accepts food from humans, then it is more dangerous for it to be released. It may see no problem in approaching human homes and eventually someone will shoot it, or it may feel threatened enough to attack someone whilst they're trying to ward it away from the property and THEN be shot. I might add that being shot is not as quick a death as they make it look in the movies. Such occurrences when releasing tame predators are well documented.
      If it was born in captivity it won't have the ability to survive. Not everything an animal does is down to instinct, many species are known to learn from their parents and through play and experience. Not everything is just picked up automatically, it won't just suddenly understand what to do, it might very well just wander around lost, hungry, cold, and then die of starvation.
      That's the thing that really annoys me about you people, you think about it with your emotions, and some romantic idea of how things are, completely forgetting to take in any real world considerations. In the real world it's never as simple as "it's an animal, it should be free and giddy in the forest", in reality it could easily just lead to a sticky end. You think about that spiritual nonsense all you like, the rest of us will worry about it's actual well being.

    • @Metair
      @Metair 11 років тому +23

      nanakimurasaki It's a month later, but I just wanted to clear this up for anyone else that might stumble upon this conversation:
      Montecore (the tiger in question) never 'attacked' Roy. This is a very common misconception that has been dis-proven both by animal behaviorists and Roy himself. Roy suffers from low blood sugar, and ended up fainting on set that day. What Montecore did was try to pick Roy up like a mother cat would pick up its young -- by the neck -- and drag him to safety. Montecore was attempting to protect Roy, not harm him, but in doing so he nearly killed Roy accidentally.
      I guess you could argue that as part of your 'instincts' case, but in no way was it self-defense.

    You know what I think is awful? Animals going extinct, by who you say? By none other than human beings. This panther is 16 years old, and to put it frankly she's better off than the rest. She gets fed well and doesn't have to worry about getting hit by a car, and shot down due to going on someones property (oh wait, I'm sorry, the territory that they had before humans came along and settled on it).
    These animals, and many more are slowly but surly going extinct, and in about forty to fifty years most of the animals we know will have already gone extinct, and some of you are complaining about them living in places like this, being preserved, repopulating in a safe area? To be honest the wild isn't even a safe place to live for animals anymore, they can't even bounce back anymore thanks to us and our need to expand and so on.

    You'd be surprised how wild cats can be affectionate. They only attack you if they are scared or feel intimidated, they're like humans, if you approach them, they'll be growling and hissing at you thinking "Why are you coming over to me? What do you want?". They'll attack sometimes because they'll scent your fear and tease you and want to play but they don't understand they're hurting you, they're saying "Don't be such a wussy, come chase me!". If you're patient, they'll be grateful enough to let you scratch their necks or give them a giant pork chop.

    • @Hulkerine100
      @Hulkerine100 9 років тому

      furseisekilulz They honestly don't understand, it's just like when domestic cats or kittens scratch at your legs, they think you want to play fight with them. Because of so many hunters that have killed big cats in the past, they are automatically hostile and aggressive but when they get to know you slowly and recognise your scent, you earn their trust. Kevin Richards, a Australian wildlife expert spends most of his time cuddling lions and rubbing their tummies. A woman that rescued a lion from a circus that was abusing it was hugging and petting the lion beside his cage and he was very happy to see her.

    • @taski1

      my guess is simply that they've accepted them as family, and just think they're another cat, or at least they're not aware that humans don't enjoy all of the same thing cats do.
      Many animals are capable of forming bonds with humans and each other. I suppose that's how animals recognize family in the first place, and that would mean anyone could be family if they acted like it.

    • @3DPlagueDR
      @3DPlagueDR 10 років тому +14

      Cruithne I can't quite tell if you're mad at the person who uploaded this or not. But, just to perhaps ease that, if in case you are, the uploader didn't really give much information as to the acquisition of the animal. Its possible that the uploader rescued the animal from one of the situations you listed, or perhaps it was bred in captivity and has no true survival skills - you can't send a creature that doesn't know what its doing out to be killed by one that does, and instinct only goes so far. That aside, she looks healthy and content to me. I won't claim to have any real knowledge of big cats, but I've done my part rescuing common domestic cats; and from what I know about them, she seems so content and happy - rubbing up against the cage to leave her scent - trying to mark the uploader as hers. Its adorable. I do agree though, that she does deserve a better enclosure, a wild creature needs space if its expected to really flourish. Sorry about the wall of text! ^^"

    • @cruithne6021
      @cruithne6021 10 років тому +5

      Nyght♥Of♥Fire This one is long, too!
      No apology needed. I hear and understand your points, and they're well stated. No, my issue was with how she was kept, IF indeed the open fenced area was her home. She's a beautiful creature who, to me, would love a big spacious environment, with enrichment opportunities to play, run, jump, hide and climb, mark and establish territory. Well-meaning (but insensitive) captivity of a gorgeous wild one just touches something deep inside.
      Even cats taken from homes or enclosures where they were illegally kept are rescued and placed in a rich environment that they might not have ever encountered. Enlightened zoos provide their captive-born and raised animals a "realistic" environment in which to live. I hope her purring and rubbing wasn't a plea for for regard or contact, no matter how fleeting it was. (fingers crossed.)
      Cats, like any other animals, have natural requirements: they climb, they use their claws, etc. Cats are highly solitary, and their instincts require seclusion and often places to hide. And the rescued animal returns to a more normal mode of behavior when their instinctual needs are met. I'm just hoping the best for her future.
      Thank you for your comments!
      Thank you for rescuing and caring, too.

    • @3DPlagueDR
      @3DPlagueDR 10 років тому +5

      I agree that she deserves a better environment than what she was provided. Hers was rather barren, and even looked boring. It is wrong, and I'm really hoping that cage was just a temporary thing. It doesn't even seem to have some sort of top on it, and by far its not big enough to prevent her escape which is dangerous for both her and the handler.
      I really do think, though, that her rubbing really was just a show of affection. Just judging by body language (I'm surprised by how similar it is to a domestic cat's) she seemed very content and calm, if she wasn't truly it would have reflected in her body language - flicking of her tail, ears backing; but it didn't see any of that. So if she was discontent, or as you say giving a cry for attention, she didn't really show it and seemed fine with what she received- of course, thats just on what was shown in the video. She may have shown more signs of how she felt once the video ended, though its hard to say for sure from the video alone. But I don't think you need to be worried about her and attention, considering how someone else referred to the uploader as 'spoiling' her, I think that even though her habitat is bad that she is cared about and for.
      Anyways, before this comment gets any longer, thank you for replying, it was very nice to speak with you. ^^

    I wouldn't blame fans of Red Dead Redemption for misjudging these feline beauties.

      have played it, yea cougars can have a bad rep, but they really are just like normal cats... just bigger.

      get it perfectly fine, you're the one lacking in understanding, you literally have no idea what I'm even talking about do you?

    Beautiful girl, and she seems really friendly too! What does her (or any cougar, really) fur feel like? I'm not a very adventurous person, and have only petted dogs and house cats. xD
