@TrueCountryGirl918 they are called Caracals. They are similar to Servals in size and behavior and found in Africa. Typically they are far more aggressive and do not make good pets.
When one of our kitties was less than a year, he was stalking the jack-o-lantern I was making. He wound up doing this slow army-man creep on his belly to get at the pumpkin guts! The look on his face was hilarious, one of "This is disgusting, but I can't stop eating it!" We almost keeled over laughing. :)
Seriously, is there something that attracts them, the smell or the color?
@Vmpyrchik Funny! It could be the color, all our cats just love having something to destroy, but we also read somewhere that pumpkins has similar qualities/smell to catnip, so this could be why they love them so much too! :)
In all honesty, in many ways, the cats are better off here. They're safe from poachers and hunters and other hazards. They're always well fed and safe and they don't have a care in the world. Yeah I get that they do belong in the wild and that there aren't a lot of sanctuaries like this but soon this might be the only chance these animals have of survival. And if anywhere, it would be here that they would sruvive
@milklauz They were living together where we rescued them from in New England. It was a roadside zoo and we believe they were trying to breed a liger, since their rescue they have both been fixed to prevent them from breeding and enjoy living together so we keep them together :)
Awh, I love seeing the big cats running around and playing with these pumpkins like they're nothing more than little paper balls~ I can hardly cut one with a knife, it's amazing seeing them chomp them into pieces. c:
@dangobearsthe white tiger is zabu and the lion is cameron. a breeder tried to get then together to try to make ligers. the only liger used to exhist at big cat rescue. since zabu and cameron were together since the beginning they have become close friends so BCR tried to keep them together. cameron had sugery so he cant produce any cubs with zabu.
Shows what I know about animal behavior, I guess. I would have thought that putting a tiger and a lion in the same pen would be a really, REALLY bad idea. O_o
we have seen a liger moving thanks to you but now we want to see if there is a TIGON ... thumbs up so that they can see and maybe will rescue a tigon also :)
@dangobears They were rescued as playmates so they decided to keep them together. She is fixed and he is partially fixed to prevent breeding. Yes normally they wouldn't be 'friends' or found near each other.
I LOVE seeing the BIG cats having fun with the pumpkins. I have little cats and they have many of the same characteristics. Although my little cats sleep at my feet at night and the BIG cats are totally not right for that! And I always love seeing your videos. I hope more people get the message that these lovely animals are best left in the wild. (At least as long as we have a 'wild' left on this planet...)
They must like the odor of the pumpkins. Probably reminds them of their Mama's making Pumpkin Pie for Thanksgiving .... for dessert after they ate the local natives. LoL.
@MrUltraworld No, we don't have any contact with our cats, it's simply too dangerous and also would send the wrong message to tour guests when we are against the private ownership of these animals.
I don't know why cats are attracted to pumpkins. My little domestic feline can't stay away when we carve pumpkins every year. Must be the smell or taste. We had to prevent him from eating the innards! Maybe I just have a slightly unusual kitty.
@SuperGamerCredit Many of our tigers are what we call generic tigers, they have been bred in backyards and are a cross breed of different sub species, we don't have any tigers that are 100% anything, if that makes sense? Our tigers are mainly bengal/siberian cross breeds.
What is it about these gourds that makes the cats so crazy?
Wow, I was horrified for a moment when the lion appeared and lit after the tiger--but then checked out the other videos of Cameron and Zabu (including the heartbreaking story of their past) and LOL'd when Zabu turned the tables.
@chikabirdy Yep, Willow is a siberian lynx, you may have seen a pic of one in the wild with a thicker coat and it may have been more grey in appearance? Willow is very slender, her coat isn't as thick in Florida, and the coat colors vary a lot :)
@Redrobottyler Exactly...what is there NOT to like about this video? Perhaps they are against the cruelty to the pumkins!!! hahahahaha. This is an EXCELLENT video, lovely to see these beautiful cats enjoying themselves ......XXXXXXX <3
@Redrobottyler actually those are the people the world needs. these "big cats" are just housecats. they are kept in cages, with no freedom to hunt or explore, so they are forced to be reduced down to the "houecat" mentality. DISLIKE
@holdthelight11 You fail to realize the "rescue" part of their program. A lot of these cats would be D.E.A.D without these people. These "cages" are actually a godsend. They get better treatment then some children. So why don't you get off your lazy misinformed butt and actually be a productive part of society. Like I said, the world doesn't need people like you.
Big cats deserve a little bit of fun too sometimes! That was really cute! I loved watching these "man-killers" have fun with the pumpkins! They like goodies too now & then! I really liked watching this video!
@nebbie13 We're always searching for new enrichment ideas to keep our cats entertained, we've been giving them pumpkins for years, they're donated, safe for the cats and the cats obviously love them ! :)
This is awesome!! It brought back happy memories of when I was at the big cat rescue last summer and saw most of these beautiful cats! Thanks for posting this.
@brelan001 They act like house cats because they were taken away from their mothers at birth to allow people to pet (hurt) them. These cats wouldn't know what violence is.
