  • great film footage, shows that large or small, cats in general react the same to Christmas trees

  • this one made my day!

    beautiful cat´s indeed!

    riri

  • I love CATS! Especially big ones, especially snow leopards. Go big cats rescue!

  • The Lion took the cake, he came running like a kid running down the stairs on Christmas Morning ready to tear into his or her presents.

    1:38

  • Cameron came out there like he expected something new to be done to his yard. He is definitely "The man"

  • i really hope those christmas tree survive till the 25th LOL

    can i know the snow leopard name? :) i love them so much, they are gorgeous and i cant belive how there are people in the world that can actually kill them...

    nice jobs :)

  • This video's a couple of years old, the snow leopard is HERCULES, one of my favs! Happy holidays, we have a new christmas video this year if you want to check it out!

  • Cats are such a curious animal, it seems everything is news to them. They are so happy and playful.

    I found Zabu is the most smartest cat as she is the only cat who doesn't eat the tree. I assume she knows what's food and what is not.

  • Cats taste things to get the scent as well, not just for food.

  • aw poor baby at 2:57 looks scared!!

  • Hercules, scared, no chance! He was just thinking whether to pounce at the cameraman or not!

  • wuts the name of the leoperd at 1:15?? he/shes adorable!!!!

  • That would be Cheetaro, he's a fun leopard!

  • well cheetaro is adorable :) i love leoperds!

  • this like honestly made my day...i almost cried when i saw how happy they looked

    ty soo much =']

  • Good, good, they do really enjoy them they love the scent and feel when they rub up against them!

  • they are soo.... happy to see those trees.

  • ayyyyyyy!!!!!!!...... que lindos felinos

  • god set us in charge of the animals

  • I love the smell of a real Christmas tree in the house . You can tell those animals were happy to see those trees. You certainly made their Christmas. Thank you for sharing with us. 5*****s to you . You made my day.

  • Beautiful creatures, it is discouraging to realize that we "humans" cannot give these animals the room they need in this world to be free to be themselves

  • awesome video!

  • anyone who does not know that animals are angels...check out the eyea of these amazing cats. precious...please...report allll animal abuse...it is your duty.

  • exactly...i dont know what kind of sick person could abuse animals...if i accidently walk in to my dog i like take her for a walk and give her a trat and pet her untill she walks away...

  • Wow that was so beautiful, my lynx acts that way with our tree... crazy cat he is.

  • Omg thank you so much for giving thos cats the best Chrismas ever. God bless u

  • im with you...they are so excited...i almost cried lol

  • XD They run over to the trees like children wanting their christmas presents.

  • there cats what the hell?!?

  • compasion???

  • So beautiful. I have tears in my eyes.

  • Now I know why my little housecat loves evergreen trees! It's like catnip to her, too!

  • aww how cute

  • LOVE this video! Thease animals are sooo intelligent!

  • aww.. i love cats!! this vid is so touching and so cute!!! thanks for making this vid.. i so much love it!!

  • OH!!! That was sooo cool for you to share this vid with the rest of us! I loved knowing the BigCats enjoyed it, and it was definitely a treat for them to have real trees. I figure it's the pine smell, that made them go gaw-gaw over them. lol They all had a reaction to them trees. Good job rescue crew! Merry Christmas to you and the Kit-tee's. lol

  • Amazing, they're showing how deep is their love to the nature.

  • Wow! they act they're sprinkled with catnip

    beautiful.

  • they're sooo cute, too bad they're dangerous

  • I love this video, thank you so much for posting it. It does remind me of my cats, even if they are so much smaller, and the object the rub themselves against is not a tree, but little old me ;)

    I love these animals and would love to work with them. Too bad it will probably never happen.

  • This is so awesome, and cute.How the big cats are playing just like my small cats.:)

    Merry Christmas!

  • Must be a bit like cat nip for the big cats.

  • Merry Christmas, Big Cat Rescue!

  • How do these big cats know what this tree is? They live where these trees do not grow right? But!! it's so awesome to see the joy these huge cats get from the pine trees,, My hearts just melts,,, watching the joy and the acklowledgement the big cats have for the pines trees!! I would love to one day help care for big cats,, full time!!

  • OMg this is so beauiful

  • Its like cat nip to them. heh

  • Ooh they're all so beautiful!! :D

    You guys are awesome for going out of your way to make their Christmas special :) :)

  • This is so awesome watching all these big cats with the trees..they sure love these giant cat toys..I know they're wild animals, but all cats still are kittens at heart. I love them all, but the white tigers I think are so lovely. I love the way the lion comes

    bounding out of the cage. They are just gorgeous! Thanks for this fabulous footage!

  • Why a tiger is together with a lion? i can't understand...

  • Cameron and Zabu were rescued from a roadside zoo in New England where they were kept together from when they were cubs in the hope of breeding a liger. So the two species wouldn't normally encounter each other in the wild but Cameron and Zabu get on well.

  • Thanks a lot! sorry if it have sound a little hard but here in Spain I'd known zoos who have done the same but deliberately! I think it's not good for these spp.

    Thanks a lot!

  • No problem, we had to think a lot before we rescued Cameron and Zabu as we didn't want to be seen as reinforcing this problem. But at least now every single person that comes on a tour of Big Cat Rescue learns the truth about what it takes to create white tigers and ligers, thanks for watching!

  • Who else thinks this is very strange?

    Giving Christmas trees to big cats...

  • Largus1, yeah it does seem pretty strange but as you can see the cats love them and it's great enrichment to keep them stimulated whilst stuck in a cage. Plus the best part is that the trees were free and for an organisation like Big Cat Rescue, that makes it even better, thanks for watching and commenting!

  • That cat at 1:14, either a leopard or jaguar, is the most gorgeous animal I've ever seen.

    What's its name?

  • Hi vickiormindyb, you're right that's one of our leopards, Simba, he's definitely enjoying that christmas tree!

  • That leopard at 1:24 to 1:35 is the most gorgeous cat I've ever seen. I THINK it's a leopard. Or is it a jaguar?

    What's its name?

  • Our house cat loves the Christmas tree, too. She's in a picture sitting under the tree among the gifts. She probably thought she's a gift to ANY household. : )

    My friend's cat tore down the entire row of ornaments on the bottom of her tree. Then he tried to climb it. He's a rascal but so beautiful.

  • VickiOrMindyB, awe what a cute picture that must be. You should post it on ChatBigcats*com.

  • Those trees are like magnets for them! I can't believe how curious they are about them. It's so funny to watch them zoom right to them. I'd just be concerned about them eating the trees as in most cases they wouldn't encounter that species in the wild.

  • The one on at 3:30 is like my tree leave it alone go to yours theres two!

  • Chilidrew727, the cats so enjoyed these trees. I hope it becomes an annual event. Drop a note to the store's corporate office and let them know how much you enjoyed watching the cats with their trees and maybe they will donate trees again next year.

  • So precious and beautiful

  • LOL This video should have been titled "BIG CATS vs CHRISTMAS TREES. =D They are so beautiful. Love the big nose at the end. :)

  • its good you guys are educating people about these cats because from this video... they all just look like big house cats that you want to go and play with! :) I'm glad they get a little Christmas joy in their lives too. The trees have always been my favorite. :)

  • 2:44 i bet that's a real cat as same as mine.

  • they else eat leaves like cat?unbelievable.....^_^

  • Its so cute seeing the cats snuggle up to the christmas trees.. BigCatRescue is wonderful!!!

  • I do not have a 'God' in my life for it is Mother Nature and all her miracles I behold! Bless you BigCatResscue.

  • me too!

  • one question:

    what will happen if poor cat will eat it?

  • None have tried to eat the trees. Most have snuggled them to put their scent on the trees and others pulled some branches off. Cats will eat grass sometimes and that is ok for their system. They seem to not want to eat the trees.

  • interesante, mi primera gata tambien se restregaba en las ramas del arbol de navidad,

    le encantaba!

    bello video!

  • Wow this so awsome I wish I could work thre!!

  • What about Big Cat Hanukkah?

  • It was equally as fun as well.

    Big Cat Holidays to all :)

  • i didnt saw big cat TV so merry christmas for team wfo cares of those kittys

  • haha they really seemed to like those trees ... not exactly the kind found in their natural environment, so it was a real treat

  • I am crying and smiling a big smile all at the same time! (maybe it's the music??)

    Anyhow, this gets a big 5 stars and put in my favorites! This is just fabulous, that there are people who take such great care of these magnificent creatures!

  • THANK YOU for making this available as a favorite; it was because of you that I discovered this video. It is one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen. P.S. The sand cat video: I've just recently learned about the existence of that species; for XMAS, my daughter gave me a book published by the British Museum on cats and there was information about that species.

  • COOL!! I had never heard of the Sand Cat either, and as soon as I saw that face, I was in love! What a cute little cat! Hope you have a Happy New Year!

    :)

  • The more I thought about this video, I think that the pine is like catnip to them. Look at them chewing on the boughs and rubbing their faces in them; that's the same thing my cat does with her catnip.

  • The trees that are still green (the ones placed in the shade) seem to still be interesting to the cats weeks after. So I would think they still have the smell as when they turn brown, they lose the smell they had.

  • It's just wonderful to see how these cats react to their special treat. Happy New Year to all of you! Keep up the wonderful work that you are doing! This really touches my heart.

  • AWE, My heart flutters!! THIS IS AWESOME!! Brian, Scott, Target and everyone who made this video possible, THANK YOU  This is one I plan to post a link to on websites and send to all my friends. GREAT JOB BRIAN. See you guys soon. Hugs till then.

  • The best Big Cat Rescue video I've ever seen! Good job, Brian!

    ~Sean (BCR Intern, 9/06 to 12/06)

  • What a wonderful sight to see them get so much joy from their trees. That was a fabulous video.

    Thank you again for another year of rescuing and doing what you do for all the big cats in your care.

    Merry Christmas to all of you, and of course to all the animals.

  • This is one Amazing video; I cannot find words to describe how I felt watching it. Thank you so much and may you and your team plus Our beautiful big cats; have a very Super Holiday. Over the last few months I feel like I know these wonderful animals. Thank you!

  • the Lion at 2.05 loves the tree :)

    thanks for the video, It's nice to see how they love the trees, and the way they smell them.

    I guess they will soon get a mas turkey again?

    :)

  • The lion Cameron shocked us all the most. We have never seen him show such an interest in a tree or enrichment item before. It put us all into the holiday spirit to see him snuggle up to his tree. He sleeps on it as well now.

  • thank you

  • That really put me in the holiday spirit. Seriously...I love these kitties.

    Thank you.

  • great vid wish i could give 10 stars

  • How beautiful! I love to watch them enjoying their Christmas trees :)

    Thank you for posting this wonderful video .:)

  • everyone loves a good christmas tree.

  • that was very cute!

  • Aw! They must love the minty-pine smell. Our little domestic kitties love our Christmas tree too although they aren't allowed to tear it up like the big cats do, lol.

  • I have to comment again... Cameron is so cute in this, as are all of them! That's so sweet to give them those trees :)

  • Beautiful, amazing :)

    You have the best videos on the face of the planet! GO BCR!!!

    5/5 and favorited

  • Beautiful. Thank you so much.

  • This was the first time many of them had an x-mas tree. There was no cat nip or meat smell just the natural smell of the tree. They loved them and some are still snuggling up to their trees even days after.

  • Wow! Did you guys put catnip on those trees or something? I would never imagine they'd love a Christmas tree so much like that. Those big old kitties look adorable rubbing up to the trees like that. ^-^
