My smallest, runtiest kitty wakes me up each morning by draping himself across my chest/neck and purring directly into my face. He lays with me as I'm waking up, slowly petting him as I gain consciousness and rejoin the world. He's so warm and tiny and soft, waking up to his little mews and happy purrs, just sitting there stroking his super soft fur, it's like everything is right in the world, just like you said. Those precious 10 minutes with him in the morning makes my day right.

[–]AytrusTekis 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I wish I were so lucky. One of my two just lays there until I show signs of waking, and then chats me up with meows until I get out of bed. The other, doesnt wait for me, she paws lightly at my nose... claws extended... and wakes me on her time.

[–]maggiefiasco 1 point2 points ago

Can't lie, I think every morning "I am so lucky!" These kitties (I have two at the moment, brothers) are so sweet and good-natured.

Any time a new person comes to my house and spends the night, Charlie wakes the new-comer in this fashion also. I get jealous because when I wake up, he isn't there... then I know he's sharing this special little time with someone else for one day and I smile.

Every fucking time someone posts a picture of a human and a big cat interacting, the top post is always "He's not going to last long" or "That's dinner tonight." You need to understand that these people (for the most part) know very well what they are doing. I used to do the same thing, and NOT ONCE did I ever feel threatened or in danger. I developed a very unique relationship with the animals that I trained, and I could tell how they were feeling. If they were upset about something and wanted to be left alone, I did just that. But if I walked up to the fence and they were jumping up and down out of joy, I would go in and play with them. I treated my dogs the exact same way I treated my tigers, and those interactions made both my life and their lives so much better. It takes experience and a shit load of confidence, but it is entirely possible to have an amazing relationship with these animals. Sorry for the rant.

Would you say that big cats have a similar mentality to a housecat? That's how I always imagine them. A feral cat is sure to attack something smaller than itself, some housecats play rough, but others are well socialized and perfectly docile.

[–]lord_nougat 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

...and still others are well socialised and perfectly docile except for random times when they feel compelled to viciously savage you for no apparent reason. Perhaps only my cat is like this, but I imagine there could be others.

[–]YouAlwaysHaveAChoice 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Very similar. When I would go into the run, they would run up to me, rub on my leg(it was hard to stay standing when you have 500 pounds pressing into you), and purr like mad. They would kick around large, hard plastic balls(like a house cat would with yarn), and generally fuck with me by hiding and jumping out at me(always in play). Also, they would go batshit crazy when I brought out the baby bottle with milk.

[–]leighbo 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Doesnt matter how well you think you know them. They could still smack your head off in 1 swoop, and eat your corpse for dinner.

Take that Grizzly bear guy for example, he lived with the bears for years and thought he knew them and played with them etc...Then what happened? They ate him...

I see your point and I wish I was close to those beautiful creatures, but I'm never suprised when people getted eatens

[–]YouAlwaysHaveAChoice 2 points3 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If someone gets killed, its usually their fault because they ignored the warning signs. I know when the cats are agitated, and I would avoid them. It's as simple as that. There are very rare instances where they get randomly spooked by something and hurt someone, and those are the stories that usually make the news. There are thousands of exotic animal refuges in the US alone, and people do this kind of stuff every day with no incidents. And Timothy Treadwell lived with those bears(wild bears, which is a vastly different situation) every summer for 13 years before he was killed. That's fucking amazing, and it shows that the bears were comfortable with his presence, especially when he is a couple feet away from the young ones. The one that killed him was an older, rogue bear that had no attachment to the rest of the group.

Very true. But think about that environment. Constant loud, unpredictable noises, bright lights flashing everywhere, people yelling and screaming. There is no way in hell a cat would be completely comfortable with all that. That whole show was just fucking stupid in my opinion, and it was only a matter of time before a cat got spooked and did something.

[–]maybealittleracist 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

True enough. It's hard enough for performers to learn to be comfortable on stage, let alone animals. Still though, it's hard to say that you can be entirely safe around an animal that could seriously hurt you with what it considers a playful swipe or nibble.

sidenote I love that you get downvoted for stating an obvious fact of the food chain. I just picture some world wildlife fanatic flipping out in front of his monitor for you suggesting that a hungry lion may maul someone. Its not like he said to hunt lions out of existence or some shit. He just said that there is a possibility of a fucking lion eating a dude. You'd think that was common knowledge but oh well. Thats reddit for you, keep all non-abortion, non-atheist, non-kitty comments to yourself or its downvote city.

[–]chimpychimp 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Since lions are apex predators, they dont have the same kind of panic aggression response other animals may have, meaning they are less prone to lashing out and attacking simply out of fear. So if a lion is well fed, and you stay calm and respect its boundaries, its not too bad. Of course lions have moods like any other animal, and if hes hungry, having a bad day, or you smell different so he cant recognise you as easily, thats where problems start.

Id rather be around well fed lions than adult chimps. Chimps are more fearful and violent because of it, and they dont have that same predatory instinct to go for the neck for a quick kill, they tend to maul the face and genitals.

Do people realize that lions do not understand the concept of hugging...? Yeah, ok so a small cat nuzzles you. That's cute. It does not scale proportionally with lions due to the "I can eat you at any time" factor.

[–]Glassesasaur 23 points24 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm not an animal psychologist, but I think animals understand hugs. They may not know they are HUGGING, but the physical embrace may exist as comfort in their minds. Though I may be wrong, but this just makes sense to me.

[–]Xoebe 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Agreed. And just like humans, individuals respond differently. Some animals love to be touched, stroked, petted, hugged. Some don't.

I have a house cat who loves to sleep under my arm. My other cat loves to sleep next to me, but if you drape an arm over him, he is outta there like a shot.

[–]Porrick 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, I'm sure reptiles and fish don't get cuddling, but pretty much all mammals do. Lions understand cuddling and cuddle other lions all the time. They also, on gaining control of a pride, slaughter all the cubs under 2 years' age. The sight of which causes the mothers to become sexually receptive.

On second thought, perhaps we shouldn't anthropomorphize nonhumans too much...

ha fair enough, but the point I was getting at is that if a lion is raised in a human society some of that will bleed through. It's not like I'm advocating finding a wild lion to hug...that would just be stupid.

[–]rolnasti 1 point2 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, the problem with this argument is the whole Nature v Nurture concept that has been beaten to death so many times I'd rather not rehash it. I guess I can also agree that it may be possible (somehow) that they can understand a 'hug' to some degree, but you will never find me testing to what degree their understanding reaches.

    Holy shit, I've heard this before and dismissed it as bullcrap, but it is true.

    Although I have to say it's a fair deal less "these guys raised a lion and let it go" than we're led to believe. Reality- two idiots who know nothing about handling or caring for exotic cats buy a 'pet' lion and keep it in their London home (apartment?), when it outgrows its fishbowl (as it were) they, by thankful chance, get a recommendation that allows them to hand it over to people who know wtf they're doing. A potentially sad tale about a lion cub dying of malnutrition or a full-grown lion living out its days in a basement miraculously turns into the lion making it out into the wild, and we have Internet gold.

    They meant well, but seriously, who th'fuck buys a lion from a department store without actually having land on which to put it? "Oh it looks so sad, it has nowhere to frolic and really live. I know! Let's put it in our basement!" That's like feeling bad for a horse and keeping it in your attic.

    What fucking department store sells a lion? I mean, who did they THINK was going to buy it?

    [–]Rotgrub 3 points4 points ago

    sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

    It was Harrods, the UK's most prestigious store, and it was before there was regulation for such things. They used to pride themselves on selling the best of everything and anything.

    It's a pretty amazing feeling. I do this every night before I devour my dinner. Pick it up in both hands... hamburger, steak, hotdog, whatever... and just give it a giant bear-hug before you take that first bite.

    Oh steak... I love you.

    OK so, i only have to wonder... you see, sometimes when my cat tries something like this he gets his claws kinda stuck in my clothing, and cant get them out when i try to move my cat off of me... this causes the cat to be confused and ends up digging its claws into me... it kinda hurts a little.... i wonder if people who deal with... "Bigger" cats, have this problem

    Right! Nope indeed. I have two domestic cats that love me to death, but sometimes they like to open up my flesh and see blood. I'm sure the average human would fare much worse than a fucking buffalo if Happy the Lion decided to go in for a snacky bite.

    If you are around since they were cubs and with the absence of a dominant mother figure, it is possible to train young mammals to have interactions with humans without aggression. Such as this dude
