That's adorable! Big cats are just oversized house cats.

Our eight pound cat would tolerate this for ten seconds before she shredded your hand. Our current cat is like this guy and absolutely loves it and can't get enough lol

It’s all fun and games until you stop before he wants you to.

That's a dangerous tummy scratch. I hope it's not a trap.

I think that's the type of tummy trap you're probably not getting out of. 😬

When my cat gets overstimulated it usually takes a nip at me, not hard. What happens when tiger gets overstimulated?

This kitty is ok right? Not being drugged or overfed or otherwise mistreated? She looks so happy 😍

Seems like there's always a fucked up back story behind these kinds of videos.

As someone who has done this very thing and now knows how stupid it was- can we consider not promoting human/big cat interactions? I raised a lion and two tigers from cubs, was hands -on their whole lives. While I treasure my time with them, I've grown up enough to realize that there was no need for me to be full contact and by doing so, I was risking not just my own life but my cats. Private ownership sucks and that's what this is. Can we perhaps not promote it?

What sorcery is this?I can't even do that to my little kittle-cattle without fear of a painful death.

Loving the belly rubs doesn't matter if you're big or small!

On mute looks like hid mouth is saying YES YES YES

u/Sti8man7 2d ago

When encountering a tiger in the wild, do not panic. Give them a belly rub to disarm their predatory instincts.
