A lot of people don't know that these big cats don't forget. If you would have treated her badly, you would be either laid to rest or missing limbs. You raised her with love and compassion, and she's returning the favor. Big cats don't forget.

@@narukami597 Of course there is a risk..there is risk in almost everything.Driving a car is a huge risk, flying in an airplane and so on.The fact is, this man knows that and feels safe enough to take the risk.Just because you choose to focus on the negative what if’s doesn’t mean that’s what will happen and he’s clearly willing to risk that possibility due to his love and loyalty for the animal.Seeing as how that makes no sense to you I suggest you keep your ass out of the wild and stay away from big scary kitty cats.Just because something doesn’t make sense to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense to others.My original comment/opinion is about the undeniable bond they both seem to share..So clearly I do understand what the comment section is for so you can take a stadium full of seats.

That's her primary caretaker, her "dad/mom". She associates him with love, kindness, food, comfort, companionship, scratching, tummy rubs, rough and tumbles. She knows his smell, what he looks like, his behavior when in her company, he is her family. She loves her human. She will never forget him. Her loyalty is sure, as long as she's well fed, taken care of and he maintains regular contact with her. Any other human should probably not attempt the same priveleged association with her.

I had the gentlest, loving, female cat. One day I was putting an object on a shelf and the whole thing collapsed making this huge noise as it broke to the floor. When my cat heard this, she quickly ran over and bit my leg.... really hard. She did that out of fear, but I remember thinking if she had been a lion my leg would have had a huge gash. (Or, it could have been my neck!)

I hope your wound has healed nicely..
@Daniel-rd6st7 місяців тому
Of course she does know her strenght, all big animals do. Otherwise they would constantly kill their offspring (at least animals that raise their young) on accident. But human skin is very fragile in comparrisson to other animals of our size and lions have sharp claws, so scratches will happen.
@jaf87717 місяців тому
You certainly have your hands full with 3 cats. Yes, you can see that "wild nature" in their eyes. The incident that I wrote about where my cat bit my leg. Also reminded me of Siegfried and Roy where.... Roy was attacked by his tiger while doing their act.
