Some people might say it's just a big house cat in a comforting way but if someone said that to me it would scare the shit out of me.
I mean, they are. House cats are really just wild animals that tolerate people. And big cats used to people are like that too. I have scars to prove house cats can be painful in play, and big cats can be too. Except, you know, also huge.
My cat definitely not just 'tolerate' me and they can be trained to not hurt you, but you gotta start young
Wonder how it would look if you try to do this with a wild one. I think you'll be counting on your toes from then on.
