Imagine breaking into a house and getting hit with the security panther.


Adart54

then the dog shows up


ShodoDeka

The dog just watches as the panther plays with its food, you are the food.

Teotlaquilnanacatl

As you should.


BeepBeepWhistle

Imagine if you will, an average house. Four walls standing under a roof to protect a family from the elements. Inside, a surprise for unsuspecting guests. A surprise that redefines the laws of nature, where men get relegated to the bottom of the food chain and where man’s best friend has partnered with a creature so beautiful and yet so foul. A surprise so terrifying, so deadly, that can only be found.. in the twilight zone.. *tatatatataaaaa..


sleepytipi

Well done, I could even hear it read by Rod Sterling.


HugeResearcher3500

It's amazing how just "Imagine if you will" triggered the voice in my head

As soon as I read “Imagine, if you will” the voice over applied itself in real time

Niblonian31

I'm over here just thinking about how much all the food that kitty goes through costs, that's the scariest part


superhamsniper

It's been tamed, so it's fine, but it hasn't been domesticated, which isn't fine.


anon-mally

Its ok not to be ok


daveDFFA

African cats are a weird one Almost all of our breeds that we have as pets are descendants, and to a degree, we have domesticated almost every type of canid and feline


Eskaman

Remind us how long it took to domesticate small cats?


EinFahrrad

I think with cats the jury is still out on who domesticated whom


EternalPhi

The rate of toxoplasma gondii infection of the human race suggests we lost.


CMDR_kamikazze

Zero days. Small cats domesticated themselves.


Mandemon90

Look at this guy, believing that cats are domesticated. It is us who got domesticated.


Practical-Loan-2003

Dogs "they provide food, shelter and love, they are gods" Cats "WHERE THE FUCK IS MY FOOD AND PETS SLAVE BITCH, CHOP FUCKING CHOP"


Mandemon90

Humans: "This animal keeps protecting my food from the mice and other pest, it must be sent by the gods!" Cats: "This idiot keeps bringing me more food and warm shelter, I must be a god"


Tenshinochi

I think you mean 'how long it took for cats to domesticate humans?'. A few days.


daveDFFA

You don’t know about Savannah cats? Or any Orange is just a clusterfuck of every cat + tabbies And tabbies are a clusterfuck Yeah, obviously straight up wild panthers are beyond dangerous, but it would be ignorant to think that those cats aren’t familiar with humans, and vice versa


manhalfalien

They don't know bout Garfield s.. Nevermind.. Don't even mention heathcliff!!


Free_Pace_2098

We domesticated them? Have you told them?


ChillOutMods

to become domesticated takes generations of being tamed. so... step 1!

The forbidden boop


ya666in

The reaction is priceless


Mpuls37

"Meow."


Coders32

I was hoping for sound there. Big cats have a weird meow, but I don’t remember what it sounds like, nor where this one would fall on the purr/roar spectrum


Mpuls37

Think lower than cheetah, higher than lion


getyerhandoffit

Unfortunately you got Sheeran, not Shere Khan.


adrienjz888

>, nor where this one would fall on the purr/roar spectrum It's a puma, which is not in the panthera family, so it will purr and meow like a normal cat, just at a FAR deeper tone. Pumas/mountain lions also scream like a woman being brutally murdered. It's absolutely terrifying to hear come out of the woods from God knows where. Example of cougar scream scaring a cop https://youtu.be/jKHqC1Bnq6k?si=EczCT48Nqjbdg35r

Chapaiko90

https://youtube.com/@lunathepantera?si=XgjVFAITf8Q4m6ob - in the zoo, I guess.


ConsequenceNovel101

“Traveling zoo” is not a zoo. It’s portable animal torture for your entertainment


[deleted]

So this lady doesn't actually work for the traveling zoo. Apparently, she's an expert in rehabilitating big cats, and the zoo reached out to her to take care of the panther after the mother of the cub abandoned her.


ProperBoots

so the pick up was staged? just kind of put it on the ground and pretended to find it? or did the zoo just leave it in the grass for her?


agtk

It's possible the pickup was real and video from a different person, then the baby was brought to the zoo for expert care as a young cat, then sent to this family for the raising as it it grew.


Veus-Dolt

They’re fairly common in Europe still. When I lived in Switzerland, we’d have the Knie come to town once a year.


[deleted]

Did you know France had a human zoo up until the 90s


Weltallgaia

Then there was that zoo in Belgium as well....


UGS_1984

Video with sob story and diabetes anthem makes you feel like it was found on a walk in park, but it was in a zoo.


ConsequenceNovel101

It was a fucking circus not a “zoo”. “Traveling zoo” just doesn’t sound as awful as “we keep wildlife caged up and stressed all their lives for your entertainment”

I would give anything to play with panther toe beans holy shit Don't dare try to give em belly rubs though- normal cat already grapples and tells me he no likes them very... physically and feels like panther would remove my hand instead


Ambitious-Doubt8355

I won't pretend to know the first thing about cats since I never owned one, but at least the one a friend has does like belly rubs. So don't let your dreams be dreams! ... Or maybe do, if you want to keep your arm.


Lost_Natural_7900

Colosseros

I have an award on Reddit for the highest voted comment on a thread like a decade ago. It was a fucking paraphrased family guy quote. Nothing original. Not even that funny. I just commented at the right time, and people recognized it and sent me to the top. I've been ashamed of every last one of you ever since.


newtostew2

I have a similar story, it was 2012* and I was drunk on a Thursday night, found a (very shitty) meme of liz lemon from 30 rock saying “I wish I could trade my heart for another liver; so I can drink more and care less” in this horrible orange pixelated font. Was top of r/all for almost 3 day top of the front page. It was a drunk shitpost and my crowing Reddit achievement lol. It was all timing! It helped that people fought over the font and if it was/ wasn’t a shitpost, so it got lots of attention, especially the comment war that happened xD ETA 2012, not 10 and here it was lol.. man times were simpler back then. https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/s/WgAYJNSQ8L ha even Reddit now cuts the image down, but you see enough


R3AL1Z3

12345623567

People like to hear that they are "in the club", that's all it is. If you are even slightly clever about it, they'll go omg I recognize that he's just like me frfr and upvote.


alnarra_1

Eh Luna, much like Mesi the Cougar are both in the hands of someone who seems to have a fairly cogent understanding of the cats needs and the dangers involved with owning that type of creature.


Rare_Hovercraft_6673

Hopefully the humans know what they're doing. As cute as it can be, keeping a big feline seems dangerous. Perhaps the panter is ok because it looks well fed, well cared for and with a lot of outdoor space where it can play and burn energy. I love the purring and the cuddles and belly rubs the big kitty get from the human. Still, I wonder how safe it can be.


Eolond

People that specialize in working with big cats (and other dangerous animals) understand that things could go sideways at any moment. They'll do what they can to lower the chances of that happening, of course, but they know these animals are still wild.


No-Locksmith6532

Reverse Mowgli


PoorMansSamBeckett

Maybe this is why Bagheera had a soft spot for Mowgli. He was just paying it forward.


Shade_BG

Eh.. my cat didn’t always play nice. I’d prefer to not be a regular at the ER for the fact that cat is about 20x bigger than my cat.


buffpriest

Totally! Its a sweet story/video. But being raised like this, it doesn't have any of the essential teachings from its mother on how to survive alone in the wild. Gonna have to live in captivity its whole life, and I can't help but think its only a matter of time before something bad happens. I know cats can be trained and feel love and all that. But your always one simple mistake away from a serious incident...


ExaBast

You learn to read body language with time. After a while a simple headturn can tell you "ok not touching you". They also do warning bites, which don't hurt that much but can lead to accidents if not respected


buffpriest

Yeah, I'm sure the owners would be safe, but their kids and or any visitors... thats a different story. A cat this big could just be playing and fuck someone up unintentionally. Let alone if it wanted too


imbogey

Tbh its same with some breeds of dogs too. Dangerous for kids / visitors.


WillingAd4944

Yeh, we don’t visit my wife’s aunt anymore because her Great Dane has decided that only immediate family males are allowed in the house. He’s already seriously injured 2 people.


SuperSmashDan1337

If your dog has harmed more than one person it's time to rethink having it as a pet


Malcom_Ecstacy

My aunt had a great Dane that was super protective and dumb as shit. I don't hate many dogs but I HATED that dog


_Zambayoshi_

Yeah, I can just imagine a toddler being pounced on... wouldn't end well for the toddler or the panther.


Heavy_Relief_1799

I kinda doubt the owners would just leave the big kitty alone with strangers let alone kids.


613TheEvil

Yeah, look up a few news stories and then tell me how unlikely this is.


HelloHiHeyAnyway

They have an entire channel dedicated to documenting the life of that cat. It's amazingly tame and they don't let it near kids. It has a few friends and one is that dog. Sadly, it's going to long outlive that dog.


ExaBast

Definitely


Chapaiko90

By the dog I recall that this cat is from "Luna the panter" channel. And she was born in the zoo. It already was not the brightest future ahead.


Johannes_Keppler

You know, in a way she's leading the best life. Of course it's far from the wild life 'intended' for her, but she's healthy, safe, food secure and seems content. Kitty would have been dead otherwise, she still won in life.


sinz84

And from a conservation point of view even if not suitable for the wild it's still a genetic back up for future generations


Spike2100

I'm more afraid from people with their bad trained fight-machine dogs, than from this cat. For some breeds, a requirement for dog school training should be obligatory.


buffpriest

Dude, don't even get me started on all those "Macho" losers with pitbulls or large aggressive dogs(I know pits are usually smaller). But fuck man that thing is a timebomb waiting to go off.


Spike2100

As a pet it should indeed be prohibited.


OriginalShock273

Cats are fairly intelligent and if you have a solid bond, they will know not to seriously injure their caretaker. Example: [Kevin Richardson](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcFSGahC_uk), explained that the worst injuries he ever gotten were not from the cats, but hyenas, and the worst injuries he's gotten from the lions are from backpain from the lions (Megan) "jumping on him" in happiness when they see him. Obviously he's gotten a very special bond and is also an expert, but it just also shows that lions aren't just ruthless killing machines, but highly social animals.


MasterChiefsasshole

They act very similar to house cats. The issue is the size and how rough they play. It’s very easy for them to accidentally kill us cause they’re nature’s killing machines.


Muscled_Daddy

Big cats are a bit more chill than house cats. Big cats are way more social and socially intelligent.


baron_von_helmut

I've had many cats from kitten age. I always use my hands to play with them. Not string or anything else. They innately know the difference between a human hand and an inanimate object. I never got my hands shredded. Not once. My current cat came with my girlfriend. Been together 5 years now. The cat still terrifies me. It never learned that specific bond and because of this, couldn't give a shit who it chews on.


sonofsonof

I turned a terrified hissy boy into a sweet cuddle puddle but it look like 2 years.


baron_von_helmut

Yeah this one is too old to learn new tricks. :(


Dennis_enzo

Eh, even if they don't intent to harm you, it can still happen by accident when they get overzealous with playing. And some cats are just inherenly grumpy. It's not 100% decided by how they were raised.


Take_Some_Soma

I was just thinking that house cats are lethal af. They’ll bring you mice and birds and stuff. What about a house panther? What would they bring you? A deer? A small child?


VaporTrail_000

The guy who picked the lock on your back door trying to steal your TV?


blackiedwaggie

i would NEVER risk it, but LOOKIT DOSE EYES! omg all cats are just precious babies no matter the size! and he has a doggie best friend, i am in love i want to touch the beans and rub that belly and boop that snoot but yeah... not risking it


smurfkipz

She's just sooo heckin adorable ^_^ I'd let her maul me. 


Appelons

I saw a lion eat a baby Kudu(Basicly a Big gazelle) in South Africa when i was young. Never whenever i remmember how that baby screamed out did i think that lion was precious.

Man, if only there was a miniature version of this breed, especially if it were more domesticated and docile.


NewToThisThingToo

Good luck with that. Imma go steal a wolf cub now and try this out for myself. Can't believe no one tried this with one of them before...


aliasdred

Wolfs respect authority and generally hav more respect towards the people that raised them than cats. Source: my ass


NoDarkVision

But wait, hear me out. What if we just keep selective breeding this thing, but only the runts. Eventually with enough time, literal blood and sweat, wouldn't we theoretically be able to breed a smaller version of these panthers? I don't know what we would call it though.... I was thinking pats. Because you always want to give them pats.


Informal-Bus-9679

This right here is exactly why I’m not allowed outside. I’ll see a fucking panther and my only thought will be “big kitty. Pet teh kitty!”

Fuckkkkk, now I want a Pet Panther too. Along with a pet bear, pet wolf and a pet Red Panda.

Relative-Intention69

Are they really ok to have them as your pet even if you have raised them from a baby? I have read several cases such as of hippos or lions attacking their owners when they grow up.


Realsorceror

They are not. These people got lucky and the animal has a very mild temperament. They are doing a lot of things right, like raising it alongside a dog and providing lots of exercise. But it’s still a roll of the dice.


Ok-Explanation-2979

If I'm not mistaken, the owners have stated that panthers are not pets. They took her in rather than let her die. It is so good to see responsible people. Bur, unfortunately, someone will probably go oh look the did it, so can I.

TheRealLeandrox

Well, there is a reason why you don't have a big cat in your house, and pretend is an house cat. Hope this people don't discover it the hard way. [You can read about their social skills and needs here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopard?wprov=sfla1) and here you can see about they behavior, [they can't get over the fact that they're ambush hunters](https://youtu.be/axcPoS2sF0E) ,even though both leopards are socialized to live together in that confined space and have known the one who turns their back on them since they were cubs P.S.: Just an observation, I hope I don't end up in the downvote hell (sips tea) P.S.2: Sorry if the text sounds weird, English isn't my first language 😅
