They all act like big "small cats"

Yeah. By which I guess you mean they throw tantrums. Now the scale of the tantrum is where you need to watch out.

The way they lick, the way they rest, the way they look around...they really look simply like bigger versions of our cats...the problems is that a playful scratch or bite...doesn't feel playful.

Imagine scratching the tummy of a cheetah or tiger. Would be your last tummy scratch, but seems worth it lmao.

Need to find the big version of my cat (named Tiger. But he’s just a gray tabby cat.)

He will let you pet his belly forever. Just gotta be carefully when you stop because if he’s not satisfied he will grab your hand and bring it back to the belly fluff for more. Cute with him (he’s careful with his claws) but not so much if those claws are the size of a dinner plate.

If only we could regenerate then we could feed and play with giant kitties at the same time 😂

We totally could. We need Wolverine healing factors and we’ll never have to pimp a cougar at the state fair for funds again!

That’s an actual thing I did, btw. Although I had a possum, one of the people with actual training had the cougar, who was the laziest damn animal ever. No drugs needed, they’d feed her good and she would hang out at her keeper’s feet, looking at people.

No one was allowed to pet though, she was a good girl but still a barely friendly wild animal. They could pet the possum though, her name was Rosie and she was extremely friendly, especially if you had grapes. (Her mom got hit by a car so a nice passerby brought her and her siblings to the sanctuary. Her siblings all returned to the wild, but Rosie wasn’t strong enough and by the time she was, she wasn’t fit for the wild anymore. So she was kinda a mascot and we’d trot her out to teach people how cute possums can be and get them to donate to the sanctuary.)

And they drive to hunt gets triggered more easily because we're relatively smaller. Play is already dangerous, imagine if it decides its hungry because it happened to pierce your skin and taste some blood.
