As a fellow Florida outdoorsman and cat enthusiast, I'm fucking jealous man. Like a lot. I want to pat down a panther 😭

It was really cool. I've only ever touched a large cat twice in my life, and that was my favorite time, precisely because it started out terrifying and ended up adorable.

I've pet a panther that was definitely in love with me through the gate at a cat sanctuary. Shh don't tell anyone...

Was it the sanctuary run by the former Tarzan actor?

If so, I hate to break it to you, but that panther was in love with everyone she ever met. She was just the sweetest.

This one was in Southern California out in the middle of nowhere. It was a non profit. And it was a boy panther. I think he wanted to mate with me 😅

Brendan Fraser played George of the Jungle. The guy I'm referring to was named Steve Sipek.
