Big cats being cuter than they ever have a right to be!

[Retro]

Big cats can be just as cute as little cats. Check out the adorable meows in the first clip! How does a fearsome predator sound so cute like this? I've never been able to quite get that.

There's lots of purring and rubbing going on, too.

The second last is a cheetah. They are naturally shy and don't see humans as prey nor a threat. In the wild they are even quite approachable, if you do so gently. They behave more or less like housecats and are as curious.
Cheetahs are considered the smallest of the big cats, but really they are the biggest of the small cats.

Oh soooo cute those big-little cats!! I'll remember the next time I see a cheetah that it might be approachable.

Tiffany, a golden rule is that just like with dogs, you offer them your hand to sniff first. This way they feel they know you and you can more easily figure out how friendly they are.

@Retro Sooooo.....are you referring to the little domestic kitty cats that I should hold my hand out for a sniff first or also do the same for the bigger cats with bigger teeth that roam behind a cage or in a secluded area safe from humans?

Cats of any size really. With the big ones, if you put your hand up to the cage, they'll usually snoffle it.

Well, that would be amazing to pet a big giant wild cat. It's been about 20 plus years since I've been to a zoo. The zoo's here have the cats in a sanctuary type setting (think artificial like cave and land to migrate around feel) and you can't get near them. Fun to watch.
