[@janeilnold5863]

I love how vocal they are! They always seem greet you with some kind of noise.

[@ShaunMMX]

Such beautiful creatures, and yes I know they're not pets. But I still find Cougar's cute when they meow and purr.

[@martyrsandghosts]

Oh gosh, they are all so beautiful!

[@clarachimmm907]

They are just gorgeous, really beautiful. Thank you uploading the video

[@bigcatrescue]

Thank you for watching!

[@SandyHummingbird]

omg they meow like little housecats!

[@MrCmon113]

Yeah, they belong in the same group of cats as housecats. Cougars are no big cats, like lions, leopards, etc.

[@SandyHummingbird]

Taxtro I know, they're all part of the felidae family. I'm just used to the more menacing high-pitched roar of the cougar.

[@SAMMIsLIFE]

+Taxtro theyre all part of the same family, big or small, but cougars ARE considered big cats idiot

[@canamx399]

Cougars believe it or not, are larger than your leopards. I have no doubt these big cats could easily survive and thrive in Africa, Australia, Europe and so on...

[@The_Str4nger]

Despite their size, cougars belong to the family of the lesser cats (Felinae)

[@saucybackport]

once you have enough knowledge to understand why big cats exist, you have no fear or need to own them. It is just really fascinating to see their healthy reaction to that meat, the same one they exhibit in the wild to survive

[@jenniferhowei1385]

Cute

[@miladyblue5077]

Talk about turning on a dime! All cute and cuddly when they come up to the feeder, but when they get the meat, that attitude changes abruptly to, "You volunteering to be the second course, hoomin?" And I thought my big cat wannabes were ingrates after getting fed!

[@kiddfaith4397]

Oh, yeah, definitely! As soon as food came into the picture you could just hear them saying "Give me it or I'll bite your hand off!" Beautiful animals, I'm glad they have such a great home.

[@lorrainejohal79]

This is the best way to get your "FIX" for having a big kitty, without having one. its sad to see how many animals should be out there roaming the wild but now can't because of human greed. Lets hope the law wakes up and hands out much bigger fines and harsher punishments. These big cats are almost always in here because of stupid/greedy people.

[@MrRicksta76]

Awww, so cute, id be so tempted to give a few of them a scratch under the chin just to hear them purr

Cougars really are something else they look so cuddly and cute and I want to take one to bed with me.

[@Alyss93]

A plush, 100% not real one would probably be a better bet :/

[@MrCmon113]

Well, get a house cat. It's pretty much the same, just smaller.

[@ChickpeatheTortie]

Taxtro I have, four of them, but there is something very very special about a Cougar - they truly are the most beautiful creatures in creation. I absolutely adore them.

[@giovanna722]

I think they have the most beautiful eyes. Mysterious but open and engaging, like kittens. Thanks for the video!

[@michelledubal4969]

Who thinks cougars are adorable!!!

[@rageundersilk]

After seeing this, I now understand the old legends about mountain lions screaming and drawing people to their death. I didn't realize cougars could sound so much like a person screaming.

[@Icewall42]

Makes sense how quickly their demeanor can change when food is involved. Cougars are smaller than other big cats such as lions and tigers, and they coexist in the wild with other carnivores such as bears and wolves. Wolves are especially bothersome to them, and will often chase a cougar off its kill... so food aggression (along with some clever food caching) is a must for their survival. I'm guessing that cougars in captivity are given as much as they can eat in one sitting, or do they have any leftovers that they cache?

[@LeloniBunny]

Aweeee, they're so darling, enchanting, endearing and those big sweet eyes..... And the second you feed them they're more than happy to tear your face off. When will people learn to cuddle a plushie and let the wild be.

[@catpoke9557]

They're like "YOU FED ME SO I HATE YOU!". 1 second later "I finished. ^^ I LUV U!".

[@rzferre7966]

Awwwww, I wanna hug them so badly.

[@borgshadow13]

it's kinda cute how these Cougars react to the Food-Guy, just like domestics react to owners who give them food ... but yeah you definately see their wild side once dinner is served - fascinating animals indeed

[@lovbadger]

love these creatures & love u 4 taking care of them.

[@Dissius]

Don't know what it is about Cougars. But I love looking at them. I think it might be their eyes. Once that food came out though. Wow.

[@joyjoyoo]

Cougars are gorgeous beings

[@JCREAPS]

Big cats rescue, you guys ahold think about rescuing a tiger from a truck stop. His name is tony and he is all over Instagram, people trying to find a way to help him, will you consider going to the truck stop and rescuing those beautiful beasts?

[@marymeyy4172]

can't find any words but to say that they're adorably cute.. am gonna watch it again and again..

[@DSLDEMON]

They're like oversized dangerous cute kitties. O.O so cute. Even though they truly make horrible pets. I mean sometimes even my domestic cat gets all grumpy around feeding time.

[@canerican2]

I always find the food aggressiveness kind of amazing in this video. I mean, they see the same sort of people every day, in the same spot, dropping the same food, and there's no mental connection there that tells them the food won't be stolen or taken away -- they're completely territorial and defensive despite the fact that the people they see are the ones bringing the food in the first place. Shows just how wild they are.

[@kennapilda3301]

too much cuteness, i want to hug them 💞

[@Logan-kn3gt]

i wish ya luck

[@jacketgreatorex]

Wow they are just like larger housecats... almost exactly proportional! Beauts

[@amandanies3174]

Oh my goodness, sweet Narla. And beloved Reise...oh, how I miss my two favorite cougars. I actually enjoy seeing their feisty nature. Mostly because it's a reminder they are wild animals. But it's so fascinating see their wild side, plus their unique personalities.

Hehe, is that purring I hear? It's like they're coming to say hello, very cute.

[@bratgoddess]

Mountain Lions are fast becoming my favorite big cat as they seem to be so expressive. Whenever I watch these videos, it seems like the mountain lions have a wider range of noises than other cats. Well, with the exception of house cats, that is.

[@MrCmon113]

Cougars are no big cats. That may be why you find them doing more different noises. They can't roar though.

[@dustyrhodes9763]

Taxtro They are still ''big'' cats which is why they are on this channel.

[@MrCmon113]

dusty rhodes They are having videos of all kinds of cats, some of which are neither 'big cats' nor 'big' cats.

[@nyreemckay9899]

They're really pretty animals

[@neurogenica]

Cougars are just giant house cats basically.

[@Morna777]

Except they don't make good pets. You can see from their behavior how similar they are to domestic cats, though.

[@sike2399]

They definitely have a lot in common with house cats: they can't roar, they like to play, very individualistic (they'll come to you when they want attention, not the other way around), and at meal times it's best never to come between them and their food, and they'll both eat their owners if you happen to die around them and they can't get any other food. But domestic cats have been bred and conditioned for thousands of generations to depend on humans. Frequent exposure to humans breeds a familiarity with our kind that makes domesticated animals safer to be around. Not so with cougars. Even if you raise them from kittens those wild instincts are still just under the surface - and wild animals don't have friends, just prey and rivals.

[@SAMMIsLIFE]

I love the sounds they make! So cool

[@YourAnjl]

The cougars are my personal favorites.

[@TheArtsyshep]

Jeez- about 1.30 you can really hear the familiar roar that people use in the movies. :P

[@zefetti]

[@bellametallica]

Cougars are beautiful cats. They may not have any markings like spots or stripes but they still look so amazing. I'd love to pet one but at the same time I don't want to have my arms ripped off lol.

[@thom.nguyen8535]

[@madixox]

I love the little noises they make

[@Gillmojo]

Love listening to their range of sounds, and yes, anyone who owns a domestic kitty can tell you how our mini big cats change at food time, so magnify that to big cat size and any fool should be able to see keeping a big cat as a pet is simply a no go.

[@Arkangeli7]

[@brandtmccall5184]

Puma's may be very stealth hunters but they are in interesting contrast very shy, highly intelligent, sensitive big cats. Their eyes always seem to know a lot more about the mysteries of spirit then humans catch onto, but many cat subspecies are like that, highly intuitive.
