I WANT PIZZA! (Boxes) Tiger Edition

[PTKilowatt]

Waitasec, a Lion and Tiger sharing an exhibit? That's a new one.

[MatsurikaXIII]

1:39 pure elegance and grace right there.

[CrystalSwan24]

I love how when a cat smells something they like, they immediately get down and roll on it :D

[sheraarehs]

Fun idea and fun video! They love those yummy smelling boxes

[yellowman88]

Pizza boxes = Cat nip for big cats.

[Djeemiee]

they´re all in love with those boxes

[spycher127]

i think what zabu was saying to cameron was get ur own pizza box and go find it lol

[xiaohui612]

What you all did is incredible! But im really curious~ those enclosures seem too small for them? or is there more space that were not in the video?

[BigCatRescue]

@xiaohui612 Thanks, we are often asked this question, I guess on video their enclosures don't seem very large at times. They have several different sections and are a very good size for our animals, they range in size from 1200 sq ft to 3 acres :)

[horsiegal13]

@BigCatRescue can the big cats EAT pizza? is it bad for them? i know some things about big cats but not much! :)

[BigCatRescue]

@horsiegal13 They probably would taste test it, but it can't be good for them and it's something we would never feed them, but a empty pizza box that smells like pepperoni is much more fun! :)

[lilly8455]

what if it ends up EATING the box. cardboard is not the healthiest thing to feed ur cat D:

[BigCatRescue]

@lilly8455 They don't eat the cardboard, we use cardboard to make lots of fun enrichment toys for them weekly, we wouldn't use it if they did eat it :)

[lilly8455]

@BigCatRescue i hope thats correct, but you never know, Just saying ;) 

[KidOnTheNet]

 I'm totally craving pizza right now.

[oooraeooo]

I do this with boxes from my local pizza place, too. ;-)

[TheXman419]

Where is the sanctuary? I would like to bring my son someday.

[BigCatRescue]

@TheXman419 Hi, we're located in Tampa Florida :)

[TheXman419]

You asked what I think the lion says to the tiger... "When are they gonna bring us boxes with the pizza still in them?"

[tiptoes209]

My very first thought when the video started was 'that is how my cats act when you give them catnip'! Then I realized that since oregano is in the same family of herbs as catnip and is common in Italian food, that must be a large part of why the cats were acting goofy over the boxes. Not sure if you already knew that, just a fun little factoid I wanted to share :). I am really hoping to visit sometime in the next year!

[BigCatRescue]

@tiptoes209 That's interesting I didn't know that! Hope you can make it to the sanctuary someday :)

[lionstar1938]

@BigCatRescue Im hoping to open up my own "big" cat sanctuary one day, and I like the designees of the enclosures, about how much did it cost you to build one. Also another good enrichment toy is to freeze some blood (cow/goat/ any other meat you give them) the blood/water that runs off the meat, freeze it with chunks of meat inside. It makes a tasty treat for big cats! They love Blood cycles! (same for elephants/ fruit eaters) just freeze fruit in juice! lol

[BigCatRescue]

@lionstar1938 Yep, we make bloodcicles and sardini martinis for the cats to enjoy too :) Our enclosures vary in size quite a bit and I'm unsure how much they cost, you can contact me at: filmcrew@bigcatrescue*org and I will find out for you....

[lionstar1938]

@BigCatRescue Ok, thanks! :) 

[nexstosic007]

Tiger: C'mon, let's play, pizza box bored me.

Lion: I'm not in the mood to play. Get out.

[MalMaimez]

That pizza looked insanely good.

[koopee2]

Those italians sure are weird

[blindingeffectss]

my first instinct is to rub my face all over my pizza boxes too. who knew i had so much in common with big cats?

[boverly721]

Wow Shere Khan is a badass name for a badass lookin cat

[helm1010]

@boverly721 I find it really funny that the name of the Tiger is Shere Khan, since it means 'Lion King' in Hindi and Urdu. ^_^

[akalillyt]

Gotta love Zabu <3

[brioshededward]

ma poverini, gli fate sentire solo l'odoro ma poi non gliela date :( siete stati un cattivi

[MsDungeonX]

Zabu: -smacks Cameron- Why'd you lose the pizza box? Where'd you put it, Cameron? C'mon!

[Renew3D]

Lol so cute! And got to love Cameron and Zabu.

[SheriCambly]

Great video! Love the big kitties!

[Transfusions]

I know this situation. My cat really really loved pizza. she was crasy when it comes to it.

[tylus101]

3:30 hes snuggling

[Mrmythologie]

i thought siberian tigers were larger than lions but at the end it seemed as if the lion was wey bigger. just a big lion or a small tiger ?

[utkanthaa]

poor things....give them actual pizza

[DSTREETS1017]

@utkanthaa if they gave them real pizza they probably wouldnt eat it

[MetalGrannie]

That's so funny! Reminded me of my cats (not big cats, just regular house cats). They absolutely love olives. They like to eat them, and they also like to roll around on the floor where we tossed the olives. It's a hoot to watch them.  So I really enjoyed watching this video.

[EDTProductions]

Cats just like boxes in general

[Karami]

1:50 I want to rub the tiger's belly

[fantacyfactoryCo201]

Zabu is trying to say that she got more pizza box and had more fun! So she is making Cameron a little jealous. Maybe they are just having some fun!

So cute by the way! ^^

[ThisMissLyss]

@ 3:17 the male lion seemed so majestic... so proud... and then the name "Za-Boo-Boo" popped up on screen.

[peaceandlove22999]

thumbs up if you tryed calling the number at 1:31 it says 813-926-6969

[hishippiegirl]

these cats will play with anything lol so cute! you dont even have to buy expensive toys to entertain them

[SUPERchuachua]

CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[LeloniBunny]

What's more 'fun' - trying to get one of those boxes out of the pond or trying to find the torn up box scraps?

Totally adorable happy kitties but the cleanup must be awful.

[bananian]

cardboard boxes = greatest invention

[Simaklein]

nice product placement boys^^

[p8chill]

shere khan, cheetaro, jade LOVE the mortal kombat themed names!

[muraalia]

@p8chill Mortal Kombat? Shere Khan is from the Jungle Book... Don't know about the others though.

[pournaras21]

How can somebody dislike this? Come on everybody likes (big) cats playing! Stop eating pizza and watch the cats!

[kissme008aj]

the tiger laying on its back is killing me. soooo cute (:

[GenSteven777]

Extra cheese, maybe?

[SuperiorLarxene]

y no ny cant vote

[RaidensONLYfan]

Haha, Jumanji got distracted by his own tail... :p

[vduvivier]

Zabu: Oh YUK, wash your teeth! You have such a dog breath!

Cameron: Nah, juste anchovie, ananas and mushroom flavored breath!

Zabu: No kiss till you wash your teeth!

[alexandramre]

I believe this proves all types of cats love cardboard boxes. You guys should get them big boxes, like the ones for refrigerators or stoves and see if they play fort like Maru!

[amibbdos]

omg I want to hug them!

[TheDevouchka]

They need real pizza!!! ha ha ha excellent! Thank you for the fun :-DDD

Sigrid

[Terilyn04]

lol, the cats really enjoyed the boxes, looked like the smell was driving them crazy. Did you put some catnip inside or something? great video :)

[nomadfae]

Great excuse to eat more pizza!!

[DeuxTrux]

man that's just cruel just giving the pizza boxes and not the actual pizza.

[EarthbenderToph396]

3:57 - looks like one of them has just told a joke and they're laughing! lol

[bluframe2l]

Have you tried feeding them with pizzas?

[BigCatRescue]

@bluframe2l No, we wouldn't try to feed them pizza.

[tyebillion]

@BigCatRescue Would they eat it if you did? Maybe they would just try and pick the meat out of it.

[BigCatRescue]

@tyebillion I'm unsure, I'm sure they would taste test the pizza but not really eat it.

[attgig]

@BigCatRescue seems like they'd love to eat it. they looked so sad when they realized there's no food in there.

[vta1985]

What is it with cats and cardboard boxes?

[Spike1420]

chezzburguer

[coolcatjas]

I really want some pizza now...

[nickdhammer]

no matter what kind of cat it is, give it a box and it will have the time of it's life

[iLoveYoutuveVideos]

Why do all cats love boxes??

[HerkimerWinooski]

Holy shit those cats are fat! What are you feeding them?! Oh yeah, pizza.

[megarouge2001]

@HerkimerWinooski Boxes are empty, Einstein.

[vixtain]

"I luvs mah pizza box... rawr"

[Fuktupratbag]

sheesh it's almost like catnip that's very interesting.

[TLLSpencer]

I loved this video!! What is it about cardboard boxes that kittehs can't resist??? It's so funny!

[RachiiMagik]

This had me howling with laughter! Makes them look less scary!

[MrCatbuttgum]

This is mean because is teasing big felines and should be forbidden because cardbox isn't healthy nor benefiting for nature.

[jamesfisk1970]

Simply beautiful to watch, such magnificent animals playing like kittehs!!

[FUGlitchyLogin]

Did you have sauces on any of the pizzas? Asking as I like chilli and garlic on mine, makes me wonder if big cats might like garlic.

[wjm911]

I have never seen a cat give birth but I am sure they are also born with cardboard.

[cardinalskristi]

I love Shere Khan's face while he's tearing up the box! It always makes me smile :)

[gyqz]

Cameron : 'What's your pleasure??'

Zabu : 'GIVE ME THE BOX'

[drido]

@gyqz oh, "Hellraiser", probably the last thing I would have thought of from this cute video.

[muslim189]

Shere Khan the king of the jungle

[themancdogg]

Lol cats are the shit!! Always makes my day to see your guys work.

[jaysmom1998]

Box's: Every cats weakness

[lavan322]

cameron:hey did you hear about the pizza contest? tiger:yeah yeah

[Undomaranel]

I hate to be a grammar nazi, but at 1:06 it should read, "I smelled too much pizza" instead of, "to much pizza". As always the cats entertain well and seemed to enjoy the boxes!

[OddballTube]

@Undomaranel I hate to be a grammar nazi, but -does it anyway-. -loves it-.

[BigCatRescue]

@Undomaranel I know, BCR fail! To late now :)

[julietneko]

Pizza = Catnip? yay!

Definetly worth the subscription. : )

[inbetweentics]

it's amazing to see how these big cats like sasha, who have the capacity to tear a person's head off turn into mush around a pizza box.. XD

[candy18869]

at 2:18 is that the one that doesnt like men with hats?

i remember when i went there we were told a story that he was beaten by a male who always wears a hat. we came about that story when i guy who was with us had a hat on and the black panther was VERY upset!

its nice to see him playing around and very happy! <3

[BigCatRescue]

@candy18869 Hi, I think you're referring to Shaquille another black leopard that used to live at the sanctuary, he unfortunately passed away a few years ago, the black leopard in the video is Jumanji.

[mashersmasher]

@candy18869

They should play safety dance around him to see.

[dianakittylady]

@BigCatRescue Hello again guys! dianakittylady here, Your cats seem to be really be enjoying the enrichment received from the smell of fresh pizza from those pizza boxes .I'm getting hungry just commenting Lucky I have a few leftover slices in the frig, But the cats lions tigers leopards really want some too! shame on you Should have got them a pie or at least a couple of slices too with peppironi or beef toppings would have loved a nice treat waiting them not just the box!

[4PawsTV]

ZaBooBoo was the funniest, running around with the pizza box on the head :DD

[dktillie]

one of the most funnies/cutest parts 3:15

[PLATOON72]

Empty boxes are always a failure. Fill them with the prize! Fill them with a bit of flesh!

[jtet420]

wtf tigers chase their tails

[LadyAna5]

this is wonderful! Thank you so much for providing these videos. They help promote awareness and raise funds for these gorgeous creatures. I got a question for you - I saw what looked like a white tiger in this vid. I thought I read somewhere that most white tigers are actually terribly inbred large cats. Is this one that was rescued? Just curious.

[ComandaJoeLM]

Awwww! Sasha really likes the Box! :D

[TheMememe38]

Hmmm... so at the end they all smell like pizza!

[laura105711]

It looks like at Big Cat Rescue all the cats are with their own species. (Lions with Lions, Cougars with Cougars) How come Cameron and Zabu are together? From what I see from videos they seem to be the only two different species of cats together.

[staceysimba]

Bless

They having so much fun.

[123MIURA]

It's Maru 1000 hamburgers later

[AnnePackrat]

Hey, you used the idea I mentioned in a comment a few months ago! Glad the big kitties liked it!

[GreenxMoon]

1:40 = awesome picture XD

[AR53]

super cute! also, name of the songs please

[BigCatRescue]

@AR53 The track names are in the description to this video :)

[anonymusum]

Aha - I see, free Bruno´s pizzas for a little commercial.... xD

[42tedder]

My OCD is twitching at the misuse of "to" instead of "too" in the video. Gah.

[Kyder]

Hahaha. "Za-boo-boo" (funny nickname for him :P) and Cameron seem to be the best of friends. :D

[peaceandlove22999]

@Kyder I thought Zabu was a girl...

[BigCatRescue]

@inspiredequine Thanks so much! :)

[syntaxed2]

could you try diggin down a cellphone and keep calling it, see if they get curious and try to dig it up :p

[tantamounted]

@syntaxed2 If they got the phone, what would they do? Chew on it? I wouldn't want them to eat poisonous, potentially sharp-edged plastics, electronics, or batteries.

Now, a cell phone in an armored ball might be something neat, but would it get signal?

[photoman2004]

Next time throw them pizza and you guys eat the box!

[ikuyias]

Very cute video!! I was able to vote, yayyyy! I'll be back everyday voting, and I hope Big Cat Rescue will win!! Heheheh, at first I thought you were actually going to GIVE the pizza to the big cats! This is much better for them and much healthier too! Good Luck Big Cat Rescue!

[BigCatRescue]

@ikuyias Thanks for watching and thanks so much for voting please keep it up!! :)

[jerseypaul2007]

Ah for Christ Sake, give the big cat a box with a pizza in it and not an empty box. My cats eat pizza, and I am sure the big one do also!

[AldhisslaVargTimmene]

@jerseypaul2007 well that's not very healthy is it? I'm sure my cat would like pizza but I don't want him to get a liver or kidney disease!

[jerseypaul2007]

@AldhisslaVargTimmene ...My 2 cats are as healthy and active as can be, I do not call out for pizza often, but maybe once every 3 months and always let the cats split a slice. The larger male Apollo is 19.6 of solid muscle! If those 2 guys don't like what I give them, they go outside and catch their own dinner anyway.

Come on, have a heart and give a big cat a pizza now and then.

[SheenaMalfoy]

I love Sasha's response best: Oh hey, there's a pizza box! Let's make this my new cuddle toy!

[ingoatd]

hmmmm...... someone threw a thing in my enclosure.....

I better roll around in it and smear it all over me! That'll be good.

[Sean0fenton]

Do you still have freckles the liger or have any other ligers at BCR? Because I've never seen her in any of these vids when the cats are playing with and destroying the enrichmet you give them. Is she capable of playfulness with her being a hybrid and with her old age?

[paigerr4971]

@Sean0fenton Freckles passed away this summer :(

[BigCatRescue]

@Sean0fenton Unfortunatley Freckles has passed away. She was never a huge fan of enrichment we gave her she wasn't a cat that let her guard down much to be goofy like others, she had a good retirement at BCR and that's the best we could have done for her.

[wheeler1]

I bet the WOULD love pizza!lol

[malow87]

The first sentece of the additional infos is misleading. EVERYONE loves pizza...

[jdfox1]

I love big cats! Yay! :)

[TheMankrikscow]

i want to work at Big Cat Rescue! :(

[Sababa007MCmartin]

It would be nice to see a video which they actualy get pizza :D

keep up the good work!

[Cat919]

At 3:19 - should be Za-Boo-Boom - blinded by pizza LOL!!

[rex232]

its cat nip duh

[redcorpse]

I like how in most cases the tigers decided that the best course of action was just to demolish the box.

[TheTrecky]

so cute i want to see sasha =) ^.^

[kyuketsukisan19]

Seems like tigers like to utterly destroy the boxes,while lions like to cuddle them. :)

Cute video,btw.

[MarkQuinn2k7]

OH MY GOD that pizza looks so good.

[simplyguys]

Héhé funny :)

[ColouRaya]

cute video



[wickedqueenamanda]

I <3 2:34 - "ooo a box!! Ooot a tail!" ADD anyone? LOL! Very cute video!

[tantamounted]

So basically, pizza boxes are like catnip pillows for big cats. :)

[BigCatRescue]

@tantamounted Pretty much ! :)

[duvessabella]

I live In Ca so sadly i cant vote this time but oh how i love to see these gorgeous cats having fun and looking so healthy!! Great job!!

[Shavaunluvsu]

you guys spelt too worng ...smooth.

[BigCatRescue]

@Shavaunluvsu Yeah we know ..... to late now lol :)

[0901Angela]

ustedes son tarados !!! porque no le dan pizza !!! que le tiran el carton como proyectil !!!!

[lon5]

I gave my kitty a pizza box and she made it in to a fort.

[PhantomSephiroth]

You buy them all those expensive toys when only a box will do....

[WaightZer]

next time when new residents arrive without names, give them superheroes and villians names. :P serious. like electro, joker. mr.atom :P

[chikabirdy]

My dog loves to shred the boxes that 12 packs of soda come in

[Nukurosama]

who cares about pride if I got PIZAA BOX!!

[mandthecats]

Ohhh, that's NOT FAIR! Give them the pizza, and try eating the boxes yourself:))

[Sic7777]

This is the undoubtly proof big cats know what's good. I myself eat pizza exactly like Cameron, btw. ;-)

[dbz4lifemm]

Lol, big or small, cats are all the same. :-)

[TheShadowChesireCat]

I got some of my US friends to vote.

And I agree with the cats, pizza boxes need hugs! They (had) have pizza in them! Though my cat doesn't play with them. He tends to sit on them...

[BigCatRescue]

@TheShadowChesireCat Thanks for voting!!!

[TheAntelwi]

Ha ha, I actually thought you got the pizzas for the cats.... I wonder if it was the oregano they so enjoyed?

[BigCatRescue]

@TheAntelwi We think it's the pepperoni smell/grease on the inside of the box :)

[TheBestKingSniper]

@BigCatRescue 1:57 is that a jaguar and what is te strongest big cat

[MobRulesNow]

Was it a catnip and peperoni pizza originally?

[CrazyForPianosGirl]

fatty foods are ALWAYS the BEST FOODS!
