[@sparksoflife5290]

i love how ares responds to anything new by immediately destroying it.

[@tag8740]

Sparks Of Life furry

[@stinkiest]

thats probably where he gets his name

[@dingdong896]

Furry

[@mikotoscarlet7907]

Ares = The god of war So yeahh

[@ajaxpinecone.2993]

That's why he is called Ares! I think it means god of war or death.

[@Rose_Nightingale]

it doesn't matter whether it's a small house cat, or a large lion, you give a cat a box, they will play with it.

[@SpiritHawk7]

+GerardRockMyWorld Not all cats play with boxes. My house cat hates boxes. Don't know why. We've had her since a kitten and she's never liked going in to them or being in them.

[@Rose_Nightingale]

SpiritHawk7 well how did you get her? I'm assuming you got her at a shelter?

[@SpiritHawk7]

GerardRockMyWorld All of my pets are from the shelter. We got her when she was a couple months old. My mom adopted her from Petsmart that adopts out cats from our local Humane Society. She's about 13 1/2 years old now. None of my dogs liked boxes either, a black lab mix we had since she was about 10 weeks old who lived to 13 1/2, and currently a Cursinu (a brindle colored lab sized hunting dog) that we've had since she was 11 months old and is now 4+ years old. All my animals are afraid and unsure of boxes, even when we put treats and toys in them, and even play with the boxes ourselves. They just don't like them and especially don't like being in them.

[@Rose_Nightingale]

SpiritHawk7 huh. Interesting. I mean the only thing I could think of as to why they don't like boxes is maybe some old bad memory? I don't know.

[@epicfromepicgames8222]

GerardRockMyWorld Or a domestic cat..

[@SilverKnight16]

2:07 Orion: "Can I play?" Ares: "MINE. QUIT IT." Orion: "But what is it?" Ares: "MINE." Orion: "It doesn't smell like food, though. Why are you eating it?" Ares: "IT'S. MINE." Orion: "Whatever."

[@julietsmith5925]

LOL.

[@unicornPOW1219]

Living in a house with three cats, I can only tell you ONE difference from this video and my life with cats, it's that my cats aren't strong enough to tear boxes apart.

[@livewellwitheds6885]

same

[@writersblock7260]

I love how most of the other cats are like “ok, I’ll explore it, maybe chew on it a little” and Orion and Ares are immediately like “D E S T R O Y”

[@tvsnate]

I think it's interesting that the smaller the "big cats" are, the more likely they seem to be to treat boxes as places to curl up in, like housecats do. Do the larger species just not have that same need to be in a tight space, I wonder?

[@bigcatrescue]

Small wild cats have the instinct to want to curl up in something to hide since they are never at the top of the food chain. Bigger species are apex predators and do not have to worry about being hunted.

[@perperr4149]

+Big Cat Rescue nice I've learned something.

[@jhibbitt1]

the bigger ones also wouldn't be able to fit in as easily so would more likely just chew it up or play with it as that's all that's left to do

[@breAnnasmama]

N Brasher it’s more about the size of the box ... these cats would’ve gotten in and reacted similarly had their body weight & strength not altered things and had the boxes been more size appropriate where they just fit and can scale the side without it tipping over, theyd have behaved more like the domesticated cats.

[@breAnnasmama]

Big Cat Rescue actually they still have to worry .. especially when they’re outnumbered, have cubs or are up against even bigger cats.

[@CS-lo4pc]

1:47 - 2:09 Hmm...yes...I see why you named him after the god of war...

[@RS-ib1gk]

_3:56__ They really thought the tiger could enter? : )_

[@oddcrafter1270]

Big cats are a delightful mix of terrifying and adorable :D

[@Aronissimo]

It's like Ares is playing "She loves me, she loves me not..." 😁

[@90Kirame]

Apache: Yes, this makes a nice bed. Purrsonality: Anybody home? M&M: Yes, we approve this new double bed. Pharaoh: Let's be pals. Ares: Imma nom you! Jade & Armani: OMG THIS IS SO COOL WE LOVE IT AHHH IT'S PERFECT WE'RE GONNA RUN NOW BYE!! Zabu: This looks better in the left corner. Hmm...little bit to the right...no, it looks best next to my pool! Arthur: Looks best when it's flat. Andre: Looks good on me, doesn't it?

[@Catsarecool23PST]

Lol

[@epicfromepicgames8222]

90Kirame WTH?

[@bottweiIer]

Lexi Vlogs 😂😂😂

[@wongcayven9893]

"Looks best when it's flat" hmm

[@zacharyjoy8724]

Orion: Y’know, you could have let *me* have a try first!

[@Mingukkie13]

LOL. I just love cats a lot: big or small. I was looking for my cat for 2 hours straight and i was pretty terrified to see her lost and then i found her sleeping inside my school bag.

[@KingOfTheBeyond23]

Khajiit has wares, if you have the coin.

[@mdizzle999872]

+Abradolf Lincler I want a refund on these scrolls!

[@seancolbert478]

Every cat with a cardboard box, “I dont know what this is but im mysteriously drawn to it for some reason”

[@jacktheripoff1888]

2:08 "Hey Ares, what's up?" "Oh just destroying this thing, whatever it is." "Oh.......cool. Does this have water in it? Remember that thing that had water in it that we destroyed?" "Yeah, good times."

[@kimp2678]

Thank you for sharing. My husband and I just got a box delivered and my cat refused to share it with our other 3 cats. My husband said "I wonder if big wild cats would act the same" if given a box. Having seen videos before like this I said of course. He thoroughly enjoyed watching these, as did I. Thank you for taking such great care of these huge fur babies! On to hunting videos about if big cats love catnip!

[@aevalk8369]

The Bobcats checking out the studio "apartment" seemed to be undecided about it. They could possibly squeeze in a small kitchenette but the lack of a roof was troubling. Pharaoh solved that problem, just flip the room over and instant roof. The first thought Ares had was MUNCHIES while confused Orion came to get some goodies too but couldn't find anything other than cardboard to chomp. Jade clearly wants her box to be mobile so she'd like some wheels for her trailer home. Cameron took one look at Zabu's interest and thought "Oh no! More redecorating! Time to find a bush and hide." From what I've seen so far in BCR videos the Tigers are the sanctuary's top demolition experts. They roll in and flatten boxes in record time.

[@mishalc8006]

Love this comment 😂😂😂

[@WTWeight]

Yes, they like boxes, just like my cat. But what I want to know is if they think the vacuum cleaner is the devil incarnate, just like my cat.

[@randomcatmeow1394]

u guys really spoil your cats with sooo much fun n goodys :`) so happy to see them enjoying after been through so much

[@jackthewinter5066]

ones uses it as a couch Others destroy it Pharaoh: I'm gonna use this as a wall.

[@vivianevenancio6502]

Pharaoh is so freaking gorgeous!!!! 😍

[@tisalynch3307]

So cute. They act just like my cats.

[@karthikthakur5221]

Tigress: I bet he is thinking about other tigress. Tiger: I will eat that box tomorrow

[@haneefahmoore6440]

I love all there names!!!Very unique and beautiful. ❤ ❤ 💕

[@bigcatrescue]

Our big cats are typically rescued with their names.

[@Fireluigi1]

The tigers at the end be like: What's this box? *Fragile, handle with care* I'll handle it with care alright! *sits on it and plays with it*

[@lanceknightmare]

Ares is a warrior cat, A WARRIOR. :D

[@eunbitpark5251]

that

[@vixinthefox7849]

Goooo warriors

[@davidharing6475]

The white TIGER playing with the giant ball and the box is very entertaining. :)

[@mixoleo5054]

I love how they break the boxes and play with it they're so cute

[@NerdyMely12]

The big cats sure love enrichment and boxes, living the happy life 😍👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@rosebuddy4801]

I loved watching these cats play with boxes it was adorable.

[@priya-xt3gk]

Zabu : This box is mine. This ball is also mine. Everything sunlight falls on is mine.

[@Fangs4DaMemories]

Other big cats: "Oh, look! A box! I think I will sit in it and mark it as mine!" Ares: :Oh, look! A box! I think I will eat it!" :D

[@driftingraven1]

I like that the little cats are like "im a chill here" and the big cats are like "oh im gonna destroy this" 😂

[@JO-kp6lk]

Cats tend to think 'Within the box', virtually all of them........at least until they decide to chew the box up. Then, they'll need another one, of course !

[@Tartines]

0:27 ow, What was that for?!

[@bunnylover1522]

It doesn’t matter the size. Cats will be cats.

[@flower_sunshine2021]

2:18 someone's been working out😂

[@DuelingBongos]

It is remarkable that all of these diverse felines have evolved the same behavior traits in response to something that their ancestors would have never encountered in nature.

[@MemeDaddyTaco]

i just found out you guys were located in tampa which i'm going to be moving close to soon. I'll have to stop by for a visit.

[@bigcatrescue]

+paranormal unit That would be grr-eat!! bigcatrescue.org/visit-the-big-cats/

[@mm-fn3xp]

+Big Cat Rescue is the tiger on my cereal, do you have a tiger like that? Also, how do you get the box and things in the enclosures of there are big cats in it??

[@bigcatrescue]

+Christine Puhl Our enclosures have multiple sections. We lock the big cats in one section so we can safely enter the section we want the enrichment to go in.

[@mm-fn3xp]

A Netflix Cat its should say, Big Cats like Boxes to 2

[@K_i_t_t_y84]

I know you posted this like 2 years ago but I gotta know, did you go? If you did, how was it? Did you love it?!

[@DrCHUD666]

Ares rips it up,.....then Orion gives that look that says "Hey, dude, I was gonna sit in that." But no matter what, big cat or small, give it a box and they turn into a kitten. You can hear the big cats saying "My toy!!!!"

[@herculeanwarrior1541]

CHUD Ares always seems to ruin Orion's fun in these videos

[@kassbrookmusic]

Zabu and Arthur and Andre are too cute 💚

[@ispeakmytruth1549]

I notice how the smaller cats like to sit in the boxes and rub against them, while the larger cats like to tear them to shreds! Great choice of music, by the way!

[@zadkhiel6878]

Naturally, Ares is the most destructive one since he's the god of war, and destruction makes perfect sense 😂😂

[@sjcobra84]

Everyone is a warrior until a toy ball or a cardboard box shows up.

[@nicolekirkpatrick7125]

Such a cost efficient way to bring joy to all Big or Small Cats

[@buttdickenz]

What a cute kat

[@mawaraikozahramahendraswar3063]

I like all spesies of cats... Small and big... They are so cute. I always like how they see anything from their eyes... Eyes talk everything....

[@eunbitpark5251]

well..Max and Mary Ann were very respectful to the box!! how nice!

[@alexbenavidez4500]

I'm just in awe at how enormous and beautiful these creatures are. Even when they're acting like big dumb idiots.

[@choconinny]

The smaller species like getting inside them and sitting, whereas the bigger ones just chew them to bits lol

[@lindat5784]

oh goodness it must be torture for Arthur to be that close to pond with a fence holding him back lol

[@TheXdriven2005]

Loved that video!!!! They are so funny . Thx

[@jarydianc.maloloy-on1277]

"Let's take a look!" _yeets the box at the camera_

[@michelleharrington9821]

Ares Cougar = my housecat Jake with box behavior. I call it 'making puzzle pieces' and 'stapling' with his teeth into the box. :) It's hard to pick a favorite, but I love the cougars. Especially Mickey

[@Jenjen-qc5eq]

It's funny how the big cats like to relax in boxes that they destroy.

[@adityawarman2687]

02:07 *Orion* : need a help? *Ares* : go away!

[@19TheFallen]

3:09 That is a beautiful white tiger! However, I wouldn't want to be left alone with it!

[@dbseamz]

19TheFallen Cameron the lion would

[@ditzyrose700]

Big cats like boxes too.. except Ares. Boxkind will shudder before him.

[@thecrypteia4644]

all cats:…I AM THE BOX GHOST…BEWARE!!

[@mattanderson6672]

This is a good advert for Toyota/Lexus

[@lindac6416]

Thank you so much 😊

[@dotter8]

When I worked for a pump retailer, we used to get shipments from a supplier in huge boxes, about two yards square by a yard high, 3/4 inch corrugated cardboard. I wish I knew where you might find one or two of those for your tigers!

[@Hu-kun]

Ah yes, seems like the perfect counter to Snake's cardboard box

[@denisesayer1768]

Hi Big Cat Rescue thanks for the video !! I love all your big cats and you all do an amazing job. Lol from Denise in the uk.🐱🐈🐯🐆👍😊❤

[@justbeats5056]

I'm in the uk too

[@rhondawhite1396]

Ares and Orion don't seem to know that boxes are for sitting. lol :) :) Zabu wants it all, the ball AND the box. But at least they enjoy themselves.

[@majormana1]

Orion didn't get to see it before Ares chewed it and smashed it.

[@thundershock8126]

LOL Ares doesn't care she will destroy anything she finds

[@chihuahuabulldog]

I LOVE IT! It's so much fun to watch how each cat reacts. Thank you!

[@lindat5784]

my guess is that the cardboard retains some tree scents is why all cats love them, but i have seen the process and i am amazed there is any scent left

[@bigcatrescue]

+Linda T Just like domestic cats, big cats are very curious! When you put something new into their enclosure, they like to see what it is. Then the playful big cat interact with it.

[@BlackPhillip666]

I totally want to buy a Toyota or Lexus now.

[@tigerqueen400]

Stainlessfights4u just to give the big cats the box right? Lol

[@Metal_Mulisha]

Stainlessfights4u go Chevrolet!

[@herlastvoyage]

I wonder if there is a Toyota/Lexus place nearby that donates their boxes to the cats. Good on them and will remember next time I'm shopping for a car lol

[@linkin0983]

1:57 Ares lives up to his name lol

[@OriginalPinkbird]

I like hearing the sounds the cats make & the boxes... The music is a little too loud. It should be more atmospheric or background... Please consider that for your next video.

[@herlastvoyage]

I agree. The music in a lot of youtube videos is too loud.

[@len322]

smells like catnip to me :3

[@bigcatrescue]

+Happy Ijuko (Ijuko67) Only two of the boxes contained catnip.

[@antnauman]

At 1:44 she's like "I TOLD you I don't like boxes! Now have this."

[@cyprex]

Ares! I haven't seen him for a while.

[@bigcatrescue]

+cyprex Ares was the first cougar featured in a video we posted a few days ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3fYq2CmarGiiK8

Jeez. If you're ever late with Ares' dinner, you'd better toss it over the fence.

[@sueishere25]

Big or small, cats are funny!

[@iggysmice3087]

My friend has a cat named Ares, he is orange. He doesn't understand food and you pretty much have to put a treat into his mouth while it is open for him to yell for a treat before he understands this is the treat he asked for. He won't hesitate to eat plastic, yarn, human food, cardboard, paper, the dog's food and once in a while things like soap. Pure orange cat intelligence, right there! We say "Ares only knows what food is when he's wrong" about him. He has a little brother who is not even 6 months old yet, and the kitten is already smarter than he is!
