They are receptive to cat nip, I do know that.

I was about to say with how crazy cats are normally on catnip, I'd love to see how a lion responds to it 😂

That shit is cocaine for kitties 😻

Just a heads up you can use ?t=480s at the end of that link to signify the time to start the video.

According to Wikipedia, large cat species are more susceptible to the nip.

They also roll on their back and curl up their paws while looking at you expectantly.

The furry stomach was always a trap.

i wonder about other behaviors as well. like, are tigers also into making biscuits before a nap? would lions also bow for a bongo solo on the base of their tail? how excited would a leopard be to stumble onto a giant heated blanket?

[-] Devi@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago

There's videos online of captive tigers doing all those things.

This is my favourite video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J11uu8L8FTY

[-] Bennettiquette@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

this brought so much joy, lol. thanks for sharing.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Whats the one that looks like a large cat with stubby tail?

[-] Devi@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Raindance? He's a bobcat.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Pree sure they [would] love all that shit haha

[-] Pea666@feddit.nl 11 points 2 years ago

I’m thinking yes. Assuming their dietary needs are roughly similar. However, every cat I’ve ever know has been notoriously picky about what food they like and dislike so I’m assuming big cats are the same.

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

I think that big cats, at least wild ones, aren't as picky as housecats, because when you live in the wild you have to eat whatever you can catch.

[-] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 2 years ago

I always figured that if I went on and expedition to areas with big cats, I'd be sure to pack a laser pointer and a hand vacuum.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Someone has to have done this already

[-] shottymcb@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Someone on YouTube has done the laser pointer at a big cat sanctuary, I know I've seen it.

[-] jacktherippah@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

There are even videos of big ass cats (maybe panthers/lions idk) on YouTube meowing and purring so uhhh maybe?

[-] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

Actual big cats (Panthera) can't purr or meow to my knowledge. Cheetahs can, but they are small cats.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

They're just like us 😺
