Do grown-ass lions and other big cats enjoy standard cat-treats?
[Not cats as treats, cats are - treatz friends
- not treats]
jacktherippah, There are even videos of big ass cats (maybe panthers/lions idk) on YouTube meowing and purring so uhhh maybe?
cheese_greater, They’re just like us 😺
schnurrito, Actual big cats (Panthera) can’t purr or meow to my knowledge. Cheetahs can, but they are small cats.
user1234, I always figured that if I went on and expedition to areas with big cats, I’d be sure to pack a laser pointer and a hand vacuum.
cheese_greater, Someone has to have done this already
shottymcb, Someone on YouTube has done the laser pointer at a big cat sanctuary, I know I’ve seen it.
fsxylo, (edited ) They also roll on their back and curl up their paws while looking at you expectantly.
The furry stomach was always a trap.
Cheskaz, Would you give it all up for a moment of pure joy?
Whooooooos got a floofsky tumski?
hungryphrog,
Bennettiquette, i wonder about other behaviors as well. like, are tigers also into making biscuits before a nap? would lions also bow for a bongo solo on the base of their tail? how excited would a leopard be to stumble onto a giant heated blanket?
cheese_greater, Pree sure they [would] love all that shit haha
Devi, There's videos online of captive tigers doing all those things.
This is my favourite video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J11uu8L8FTY
cheese_greater, Whats the one that looks like a large cat with stubby tail?
Devi, Raindance? He's a bobcat.
Bennettiquette, this brought so much joy, lol. thanks for sharing.
Pea666, I’m thinking yes. Assuming their dietary needs are roughly similar. However, every cat I’ve ever know has been notoriously picky about what food they like and dislike so I’m assuming big cats are the same.
hungryphrog, I think that big cats, at least wild ones, aren’t as picky as housecats, because when you live in the wild you have to eat whatever you can catch.

They are receptive to cat nip, I do know that.

I was about to say with how crazy cats are normally on catnip, I’d love to see how a lion responds to it 😂
That shit is cocaine for kitties 😻
wesker, Skip forward to ~8m to start seeing reactions.
whostosay, (edited ) Just a heads up you can use ?t=480s at the end of that link to signify the time to start the video.
Dendrologist, Ah, good old broken YouTube app. I don’t know if this is true for everyone, but on my phone at least that link just took me to the beginning of the video.
whostosay, Huh, they may have changed it. I’ve noticed it’s gotten spotty of the last few years on whether it works or not
FlorianSimon, Same for on the website!
uriel238, 
According to Wikipedia, large cat species are more susceptible to the nip.
