Yes, I don't think mine would like tea, either. But she does eat some awfully strange things.



I guess the middle cat's facial expression does seem a bit haughty.



I think a lot of people really misunderstand cats and assume that they are cold, sneaky, and unfriendly. But they are just really more sensitive and cautious than dogs are. Their body language is also quite different, and much more subtle than the body language of dogs. I think many people misinterpret their behavior, and also do things that scare them.

They also can have vastly different personalities. The ones I have now are nothing alike, personality-wise.



I don't think I've ever had a cat that was NT! I'm not sure what an NT cat would be like? A dog, maybe?

This thread is in the WP forum, not the women's forum, and it is not a women's only thread, so anyone can post here.

A lion? They're the only social felines.

I used to be a rabbit in cat's clothing for my custom rank, but it went away after the forum update.
Now people think I'm a cat.

Well, domestic cats aren't entirely anti-social. They actually can live quite well together, and often live in groups when feral. Although they aren't social like lions.

But I guess a lion would be the equivalent of an NT cat.

That is a bit like saying a an orangutan is the ASD ape. Yet they are typical in their environment. The atypical orangutans would live in groups.

I have seen tigers in the wild. That was amazing. First two females literally ten seconds only. I saw the cross the road then they disappear. They weren't moving that fast they were just that well camouflaged.

Even when they are not stalking the move in a way that is deadly silent. The way they lift of their pads in a smooth peel, the whole motion was amazing.

I saw a male for a whole minute. He was searching for a female tasting the air. He was not about to get out of there for anyone.

Just to put into perspective how hard it is to see one, a person at the same camp didn't see a single one the whole time she was there. That is normal. This reserve is known for having a better chance. Other ones you basically have no chance, it is like winning the lottery.

Some Danish photographers that were there took took this amazing shot of a leopard jumping over a stone wall. That was also very lucky becuase Tigers do not like or tolerate Leopards at all. They consider them a threat to their cubs, and will try to kill them if they see them, so leopard tend to avoid these areas or stick to higher ground.

I have seen lions in Africa, too but they are much easier to find.

I really think tigers, leopards, and cheetahs are very beautiful, but I don't think I'd be brave enough to get very close to them. I would very much enjoy getting the chance to photograph them in the wild, but again, that would mean getting close to them.

Not a big fan of lions. I don't know why. They seem big and goofy to me.

We have mountain lions around here, but I've never seen one. They aren't that big, but I've read that they tend to attack from above, going for the neck. There are a lot of places not too far from here where it's not a good idea to hike alone.

It is respect thing I guess. The guides have to know what they are doing. You are in a 4x4 but it is open top.

The tiger could attack if it wanted. For some reason I didn't feel scared I guess you are just is awe.

There is footage on youtube tiger jumping over and elephant and taking a ranger's hand off. It didn't like being tranquilized.

The mad thing is that villagers living in the wider reserve who do get attacked from time, pass through on bicycles. They ring their bell. They give the tigers warning. Tigers eat big deer, so a human is only a light snack not usually worth the effort.

I was in the garden in a camp in Africa, and a cheetah just turned up next to me. I was sh*****g myself. It turned out it was a rescue and raised by them. So it was sort of tame.

Cheetahs are very interesting. I'd like to see one up close. They are quite different in appearance from most cats. I believe they are virtually genetically identical to one another, which would probably make it hard to tell them apart.

I never get to go anywhere like that

It would be attacking men without being bothered.

Don't worry about the guys, they won't care.

If you want to leave, leave.

Word.

In its current form I think the forum is fine.
Punish the individuals that misbehave and that's the end of it.
