What happens if you find out that someone who signed "the contract" gets another wild cat? How is Narla doing? Her painting was beautiful :)

[BigCatRescue]

@mal8881 That's a good question and believe they hand over their license so they are unable to obtain another animal. Narla is doing great, very chatty and "friendly" cougar :)

[dragonsissiy]

She's so sweet! Oh and I have a question for you guys. Do any of the big cats like being pet in anyway? I've heard most of them dislike being touched period, and I wouldn't try to anyway. (even though I would love to just touch one XD) Anyway I was just curious if maybe while you guys fed them you petted them every once in a while.

[BigCatRescue]

@dragonsissiy Hi, nope we don't have any contact with our cats, I'm sure there are a few who would like a scratch behind their ear but these animals are wild and unpredictable they can change so suddenly and you could then be missing a hand!

[CattyCatRanch]

Hmmm. Methinks BCR got scammed. Narla is no lion. She's an overgrown

domestic kitty. I mean, look at that face! Those eyes! Not a bit of

wild in that cat. She's a sweetheart!

But you can keep her. I wouldn't want her in my backyard. (;^) Too much poo.

[BigCatRescue]

Many people who have no experience around these cats think they're just overgrown kitties, but this couldn't be further from the truth! Narla is absolutely still a wild animal and if she felt like attacking you she would.

I live in Rhode Island and remember seeing this on the news and have actually seen this cat in person in passing. When they said it was being taken to Florida I instantly hoped it was going to you guys. Awesome story.

I find it funny that we also have giant dog species, but they are all domesticated. Like there aren't any giant wild dogs that can't be tamed. Wolves are wild, but they are nowhere near the size of a Saint Bernard or a Mastiff, if you get my meaning.

So glad Narla has found a wonderful home, at BCR! Awesome!!

[lax80684]

narla is a true lady, full of class and beauty. bless you for rescuing her

[humanpotential7]

@BigCatRescue Problem is, she probably does not feel like attacking someone. Hell, If another person felt like attacking you... They would!

[dawg1157]

That's one mellow cougar!!

[dragonsissiy]

@BigCatRescue I know, that's why I wouldn't try to touch one anyway. XD But thanks for answering my question!
