The main difference between house cats and big cats is that when big cats try to kill you, they succeed.

[@kittokattxx]

Except house cats don't try.

[@anadubar4819]

Princess Sophie oh yes they do. Humans just don't realize it and think it's "sooo cute when she plays and attacks me". Ha !

[@kittokattxx]

Ana Dubar Yeah. Sure, sure.

[@jewelmarkess]

Hopeful The Fairy Kitten Some domestic cats are quite aggressive. You just lucky you didn't get one of those, I am pretty lucky too. My cousin though has a nice little orange tabby from a shelter that has gotten her hands all scarred. His way of communicating is biting on her hand - hard, drawing blood, she is lucky not having had a serious infection yet. She might be sitting on a sofa watching tv, but when the cat wants attention, he'd bite. He'd be a sweet little lap cat one moment, and then his teeth are in her flesh. He's gotten better over the years, but in general, some cats do attack, and while they'll not eat you, you can end up in a hospital on IV antibiotics hoping you'd not lose your hand.

[@derwentalia]

dogs i can believe will love humans. cats, im not so sure. they are solitary animals for the most part (lions are the exception) so i dont think they are wired to feel anything like love which is meant to bond animals. i think the most a cat can feel for anyone is affection like how they will purr when they lick the mouse they just killed

I find the fact that the "meow" is strictly used to communicate with humans (following kittenhood where it's used to alert mum) rather fascinating. Feral cats don't meow at each other once they've grown up.

[@srinitaaigaura]

Cats have realized we are extremely poor at understanding body language, but act cute enough and we will be their mommy.

[@erichbrough6097]

It's simply amazing how tigers can and will totally caterwaul to communicate to humans!

[@FeloniousAngel]

Domestic cats WOULD eat us... they just can't. Which is nice.

[@FeloniousAngel]

***** I'm sure there were vermin in ancient Egypt. And not all wild cats are big, and dogs are definitely smaller than wolves on average. A wolf is ~100lbs, they can take down deer. This article is pretty good: archaeology.about.com/od/domestications/qt/cat.htm You can also google other sources and learn more about it than I know.

[@michaelkoutsodontis5458]

You're comparing apples and oranges here. Felines are predators from house cats to tigers. Canine species are not true predators. they are scavengers and pack animals, a pack of wolves would kill a human so would a pack of dogs or coyotes. The main difference is that even a wolf can be domesticated (which is how they breed dogs to be what they are today) but you cannot domesticate a big cat and most even most of the smaller cats. House cats are not even truly domesticated they are just tame and due to their size not very aggresive, If a house cat weighed 30-50lbs and was a little bit bigger you would have a real problem on your hands.

[@michaelkoutsodontis5458]

***** you're still comparing apples and oranges here, a feline and a canine are two completely different types of animals, you would never be able to domesticate a tiger. A tiger is a predator and doesn't give a shit about you. All you are is food to a tiger end of story.

[@htht856]

Big cats and domestic cats are derived from one ancestor and through time, we humans have bred and created the domestic cat which I'm sure they just used small cats to breed over and over and over. So yes, they would indeed eat us if they were bigger.

[@jasonmerlino2433]

0FeloniousAngel Lots of interesting replies to this post. A few thoughts: (1)wolves and dogs are the same species (from a genetic standpoint) so comparing wolves/dogs and big cats/house cats is not the same. The house cat came from Felis syvestris, which is a small cat a little bigger than house cats, and it is believed that the African subspecies (which is more docile than European wildcats) was the one domesticated. (2) Would a house cat kill their owner if they could? I doubt it. They may not be as thoroughly domesticated as dogs (who have been domesticated longer than any other animal), but they are still domesticated and have an attached to their peeps. (3) Is it possible to domesticate a big cat? Theoretically, perhaps. Search for" Domesticated Siberian Foxes" and watch one of the fascinating videos. A few problems with domesticating big cats would be... most big cats are endangered or threatened, so finding the 1% who is least aggressive or fearful of people by nature would be harder if not impossible. It's even possible that those who would have been more genetically likely to be domesticated have all been killed off (since a big cat who is not fearful or aggressive when confronted with people is at a huge disadvantage in the wild). . There is also the genetic predisposition of canines to genetic change (via tandem repeaters and like mechanisms) which is why there is a huge variation in dog size but not much in cats.

[@intern_dana]

there's something so sweet about seeing big cats acting like house cats, and vice versa. i don't know how to describe it really, but it's a similar feeling i get when i see monkeys, chimps, and apes naturally acting like people (or people like monkeys). there's that little connection between both that'll never break. just...some things are universal and there's a comfort in that, y'know?

[@qwli5460]

Well it makes sense they are both 'Cats'

[@redcell9636]

well there is a reason for the term "chimp out" that part of the brain that isn't quite "lizard-brain" territory but not "higher sentience" there is the "ape brain". Sometimes people just default to base model factory settings and there is no helping it.

[@maalikserebryakov]

TeaRoses that is strange. Your cat ignored the fish?! Anyways, despite that happening with your cat. They are still strict carnivores because they need to eat meat.

[@rosewhite---]

a cat is not evolved from a lion or any other big cat but is a separate kind designed by God as a domestic creature for humans to enjoy in contrast to the wild ones when He made the animals 6,000 years ago a few hours before He made Adam. The fact kittens automatically know to bury their muck and no amount of feeding will make them grow up is perfect proof that cats is cats and big cats is big cats.

[@arunachalpradesh399]

Rose White when 6000 years ago god made the earth flat, that time god made every animal wild for adam and eve , and there was nothing as pet. all were eating flesh. but cat is small so human keep it. see how cat hunt like lion cat hunt rabbit, rat, chicken,squirrel ,grapping on the neck just like big lion, and cat do eat owner when owner is dead.

[@rosewhite---]

paul siga LOL. I suggest you get a Bible and read Genesis and you will find that God created creatures both domestic and wild. Domestic being those that are happy to live with us and provide us useful products and demand nothing but food and water in return - ie cows, goats, sheep, horses, camels, hens, ducks and geese. Wild creatures are those that are either solitary, untrainable, prone to migrate or like a dinosaur or leopard have no byproduct for us apart from the pleasure of their occasional company or for us to admire their beauty or power. As for creatures being carnivorous all creatures including yourself are designed to be vegetarian including lions and TRex with plenty of evidence for that. You seem to have a head filled with Planet of Apes, King Kong and Mad Slasher movies?

I'd guess the only reason why housecats won't try to eat us is because we're so much bigger than them. As far as I know tigers don't hunt elephants either.

[@TheOnlyGBeast]

yes, but house cats are also domesticated.

[@VomicaEmanio]

TheOnlyGBeast A bit, but we only started seriously domesticating cats some 200 years ago (some exceptions, like in Egypt) while we domesticated dogs tens of thousands of years ago. For most time our relationship with cats was that they lived "wild" around our farms and ate rats in our storages but they weren't truly pets. So they are quite wild but not quite as wild as big cats that haven't been domesticated at all.

[@TheOnlyGBeast]

if you do some research you'd know that Egypt is generally believed to be where they were domesticated(which have paintings of them that are around 3600 years old), and the animal that they descended from is the African Wildcat. However there are records of human-feline interactions far before that; in 2004, a Neolithic grave excavated in Shillourokambos, Cyprus, contained the skeletons, laid close to one another, of both a human and a cat. The grave is estimated to be 9,500 years old

[@Hodoss]

+Tim Her Well by definition domestic animals have gone through artificial selection to make them more suitable as pets, so even if bigger, they would be less agressive towards humans, unless you imagine we'd make agressive breeds on purpose as "guard cats" or something like that. There would be more accidents, with more lethality, but they wouldn't be that agressive, or they wouldn't be domestic cats anymore, just big cats like any other wild cats.

[@solomonking5097]

Yes , but you got to understand to them they just playing around( which can turn deadly). I have a cat and a dog my cat constantly attacking my little dog til he be biting back lmfao..... It's show cats love to mess around and have lots of wild fun but just don't know when to stop haha....

[@finsfan90]

My cat is friendly to me, but vicious towards mice and other small animals. It swats them around and basically tortures them before killing them. I always wonder. If I was mouse size, would that be my fate as well?

+Big Cat Rescue Since big cats are capable of attacking and eating humans, why don't domestic cats usually attack or eat humans, be they their owners or other people?

+Big Cat Rescue This is really out of context, but, who would win a fight between a full grown Siberian Tiger and a full grown African Lion.........I have been searching for this everywhere! plzzz give me your unbiased opinion!

[@AwesomeShelbiNicole]

+3333sweetie Well given that most house cats are rather small they would have a hard time taking down a human. I have heard stories on the news though where an owner has passed away and when their cats got hungry they ate parts of the body. I know its kinda gross.

[@3333sweetie]

AwesomeShelbiNicole I agree. But house cats KNOW that they're smaller than we are, so they do not attack us, right?

I have always loved the big cat chuff sounds

[@SohanDsouza]

3:20 That sounded more like a human's amateur imitation of a roar, if you ask me.

[@sphee4149]

So it's a fursuit?

[@TheShadowChesireCat]

Besides, who wants a big cat that weighs more than you do in your lap? It'd squash you. Much better to have a cuddly little cat that only weighs a few pounds in your lap.

[@kinqslayerr2265]

I love how the male lion and the white tiger were running beside each other at the end and didn't think of fight at least once. :D They would make lovely babies. ~

[@BuriedValues]

Great video! Great narrator! I volunteer at Lions, Tigers, and Bears, an accredited sanctuary in Alpine, California. We have large (acreage) forever homes for big cats, too. I loved to see the big habitats and enrichment the animals had in your video.

[@bigcatrescue]

Thank you for watching! We are a fan of Bobbi Brink and her sanctuary. We often work together in rescue missions.

I have two cats. One is a purebred Birman, who is the sweetest, kindest, most gentle soul on the planet. Then.....there’s my tabby cat. Lol. She’s a mean kitty, who everyone is too scared to stroke, apart from me. She is MY cat....or, I’m her human, more like. 😂

Cats are very agile, but it seems they miss their target half the time. Good thing they have 9 lives.
