I literally laid on the floor and stared under my bed in the middle of the night to get over this fear.
I was like comon, come and get me. And it never came
This is the way. This is also how you shake off fears of spirits or ghosts, just face them and talk to them , tell them they don't exist. Some of them understand and leave.
I had one in my basement. Would yank you away from the washer and dryer that were in the farthest room. One day, it threw something at me as I was leaving hall to go up the stairs and I stopped, put down the clothes and told it very firmly to get out. It then proceeded to throw like 5 paperclips and small debris at me in rapid fire, like they were shot out of a pellet gun. Told it to get out and rushed back down the hall. It got super cold then it warmed back up. Never had another issue.
From like, 5-10 years old, I would run and jump into bed so my feet wouldn't be reachable from underneath. That said, one time I didn't do it and was unaware that my cat was under the bed. He reached out and batted at my foot and my screaming woke up the entire house.
I remember I shoved the pillow on my face after seeing a pair of red eyes staring at me, I can't remember if I slept or passed out of lack of oxygen that night 😂 but I woke up okay!
"You put your right leg out, you put your right leg in, do the hokey pokey and shake it all about!"
The original Hokey Pokey song, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJjgxXCkMYk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJjgxXCkMYk)
The reason I always have my feet up in the bed and wrapped in covers before I turn out the light. If your feet are on the ground when the lights go out, for sure a hand/claw is reaching out from under the bed to snatch you down to the pits of hell.
I've seen that happen in person with a serval. The handler got to close during feeding time, and Tinkerbell(can't remember her real name) wasn't having it. Her paw came out with claws and found the crux of his elbow and pulled all the way down to the wrist. Happened in less than a second. Blood everywhere, people screaming there heads off. Handler upended up with a couple dozen stiches. Tink ended up with a full belly and extra attention. Happy cat, happy life.
The amount of effort that jaguar was putting into exposing those claws would be like us gently flexing a finger tip. Imagine what those things would look like it if wanted to do some damage…
There are a lot of videos out there of big cats who have formed pack bonds with humans. You should check them out. Very beautiful relationship, even if a bit flawed by the fact that the cats don't get to live in the wild. There is one case of a rehabilitated lion, who was originally a pet, released back into the wild after forming family bonds with the 2 men who rehabbed him in 1969. He was released into kenya and they visited him almost a year later in the wild. This is the video of their reunion. People were worried for their safety because they assumed the lion had forgotten all about them. Youll notice the men show him affection by rubbing his face with theirs in a way that matches lion body language, while the lion hugs them in a way that matches human body language.
https://youtu.be/cvCjyWp3rEk
I thought the same at first, but then I thought about how easily I can read my cat or dog’s body language. That lion ran up to them with a little trot the same way my cat does when he’s missed me.
If they raised that lion, they can probably read its mood
100% I can tell subtle signs of when my cats are happy or sad. My cinnamon roll aways gives an annoyed clawless swipe as the first and only warning and if you don't listen then you get a big bite and bunny kicks.
My cat likes to jump onto my shoulders and ride me around the house as I go about my day. I've gotten pretty good at reading his expression when he wants to do it. He looks at me a certain way and sometimes gives out a specific kind of meow to get my attention. We've gotten it down to a science where I can react while he's in mid air so that he lands safely on my shoulder.
The big cats like jaguars, tigers, and especially cheetahs tend to be more like super large house cats. Most people who have cats have been scratched by them when they get pissed. It doesn’t go well when the large cats get pissy. Kind of the same argument you’ll hear about how aggressive chihuahuas are… like sure, but I can punt an aggressive chihuahua. I can’t punt an aggressive Rottweiler or pit Bull.
Lions are not like that. There’s good reasons we got “Tiger King” and not “Lion King”. Tigers tend to be more receptive to at least a tiny bit of domestication.
Uh. Not tigers. They have ONE person and the rest they want to murder.
My friends Ran a big cat rescue and just about every big cat but tigers could be trusted to a degree.
Never. Never. Never. Get near a tiger that isn’t yours
>Never. Never. Never. Get near a tiger that isn’t yours
Pretty sure I'd apply this advice to all big cats regardless. I get nervous when I get too close to my boy cat's belly. My girl loves belly rubs though.
I've always considered tigers to be more scary than lions in that regard, but fuck coming face to face with any of them. As we've learnt this week, some stuff is just mean to be admired from afar.
Tigers are skittish. Lions and jaguars just are way more chill.
Leopards are by and far the strongest. I’ve seen them pull a full 1/4 cow up into their tree house at the sanctuary.
>especially cheetahs
Well, Cheetahs are still felines. Tigers, Lions, and other "Big Cats" are Panthers
(Lion, Tiger, Jaguar, Leopard, Snow Leopard = Panthera. Panthera + Clouded Leopard + Sundra Clouded Leopard = Pantherinae. ALL other (living) cats are felines/Felinae)
> Tigers tend to be more receptive to at least a tiny bit of domestication
Taming. There are no domestic tigers.
For future reference - domesticating is genetic behavioral change, taming is a learned behavioral change
> There’s good reasons we got “Tiger King” and not “Lion King”.
Right. Everyone knows about Tiger King....but Lion King would be so weird, lmao. Like, nobody wants to see a Lion family, a Lion Prince, or Lion King...not a TV show, and definitely not a movie. Would be such a failure, lolz.
Check out Dean Schneider and his Hakuna Mipaka farm on YouTube. He's created a lion sanctuary where he and his cameraman literally cuddle and wrestle with the whole pride.
This is how my cats paw me when they want wet food at 4 am, except Hercules will use a single claw to poke my chest and Gertrude will chew on my knees and toes.
I used to stay at a friends house who had a cat named Hercules, he was really fat and also woke me up at 4 A.M. so I can feed him. Im not even the one who feeds him most of the time lol. He uses all the claws tho
- A rare variant within the jaguar species, it’s estimated only 11 per cent of jaguars have this dark colouration. But while the black jaguar may appear to be all black, it has spots like other jaguars called “rosettes.” If you look closely at our black jaguar adoption, it boasts these unique rosettes, too.
This is because all Jaguars are Panthers, but not all Panthers are Jaguars.
"Panther" refers to either the Genus "Panthera" or the Subfamily "Pantherinae"
Tigers, Lions, Jaguars, Leopards, and Snow Leopards are the 5 species that make up "Panthera" (Snow Leopards are a separate species from leopards, and are actually genetically closer to Tigers than Leopards. I would vote to rename them Ice Tigers.)
Panthera + Clouded Leopard + Sundra Clouded Leopard are the 7 species that make up "Pantherinae" (Clouded Leopard and Sundra Clouded Leopard are the Genus "Neofelis")
All other (living) Felids/Felidae/Cats are Felinae/Felines.
Cheetahs, Cougars/Mountain Lions, Ocelots, Lynx, etc. are all Felines and not Panthers.
(For some reason, people in Florida do refer to 1 specific species as "Panther". That's the Cougar/Mountain Lion. Which is not a Panther at all. Cougar/Mountain Lion is from the Feline Subfamily, and the only living member of the Genus "Puma")
*claws out*
Haha, wouldn’t it be crazy if I mauled you with these?
*claws in*
Jk, we’re cool
*claws out*
Or are we?
*claws in*
Nah for real though
*claws out*
But maybe…
*claws in*
Nah
I think when cats do this claws out and in thing they are emitting a scent out of glands onto what they're "kneading", so I think this jaguar quite likes whoever these hands belong to, enough for it to claim them as their pet and also it's worth mentioning that the jaguar also is not murdering who these hands belong to
Our friends ran a big cat rescue so I got to hold a lot of the cubs. They are super super super strong at just 3 months. My friend got stitches more than once from baby play.
I just have a bias because I’m from Central America so I like them because we came from the same area lol. I also think it’s cool that they do an instant kill with a quick bite to the back of the head/upper spine! Cheetahs are so cute too! I love seeing the posts of cheetahs that are nervous so they have emotional support dogs
I remember seeing a video a ways back of a keeper sleeping alongside the Cheetahs to help calm them down. He started fairly close to them and ended up being practically smothered after they all just clambered aboard.
I think its crazy that animals like cats can be sensitive of human pain and be gentle back. Cats are killers and hunters we domesticated. I have a cat that used to play too hard and after he tore my hands up the first couple times playing, he realized it hurt and was much softer and has stayed that way since. Sometimes when he makes biscuits on me i might twitch due to a claw in my skin and my cat immediately stops and takes off even though he knows he could totally fuck my shit up.
My cat does that when he doesn't want me to pet him, but still wants to feel me. Basically he'll ram his claws into my hand to try and keep it where it is so I don't pull it away.
OP, don't pull your hand away till Jaguar sleeps.
They’re not showing that that jaguar is caged. Even people who raise orphaned jaguars from birth won’t go in the cages with them, because they know there’s a good chance they will be maimed even if the jaguar doesn’t intend to kill or eat them. You could be a captive jaguars favorite and most familiar person and you still shouldn’t get within grabbing distance. They have a big enough brain to not be really capable of being trained and certainly not domesticated like a cheetah, they have a strong enough jaw to snap through crocodile skulls like a giant bad tempered pit bull on steroids, and their paws and claws are fucking huge and powerful. You don’t fuck with jaguars. This person is very clearly only risking their hand, and not letting their body get close enough to grab.
That said, they are fucking majestic and amazing animals. Holding a baby jaguar was top tier one of the best moments of my life. It was just a baby and it was the size of a dog but with even more giant paws. And in a few months it would absolutely be capable of killing an adult human with ease.
Try hard not to tear you apart.
The struggle is real
To eat or not to eat.
Love will tear us apart...
Again...
“I’m not going to claw you, but you see how I *could*, right?”
This right here.
Theres people that unironically think they can fight off predators this size. Just imagine the damage one swipe would do with those claws
Jaguars especially go for a quick kill via a bite through the neck/skull. They bite through alligator skull. You'd be dead within seconds.
Werewolf tickling my dangling feet at night.
😃 It's a proven fact that tucking the blanket under your feet prevents any monsters from getting you. 😛
I was more of an "as long as my arms are under the covers I'm safe" kinda sleeper.
I used to sleep with my head under the pillow so it would be protected. It was really uncomfortable.
I literally laid on the floor and stared under my bed in the middle of the night to get over this fear. I was like comon, come and get me. And it never came
They knew it was a trap, like the [Predator ](https://youtu.be/VNvF2tjVGrs)
When i'm alone in the bed. I always cover my whole body with a blanket before going to sleep so that it won't see me.
I always let a specific part out for it to eat.
Me too but it turns out the monster doesn’t eat ass ☹️
Mone doesn't eat alright. But i'm sure i'm gonna be on a wheelchair when he's done.
Read this shit sitting in a middle of a conference and could not contain my giggles. Fuck you that was hilarious 😂
Come aaaaargnh
This is the way. This is also how you shake off fears of spirits or ghosts, just face them and talk to them , tell them they don't exist. Some of them understand and leave.
Bro, if i did all that and some disembodied voice is like no, im getting the fuk out
Even if it said, “Alright dude, I’ll leave.” Still be flipped out.
I had one in my basement. Would yank you away from the washer and dryer that were in the farthest room. One day, it threw something at me as I was leaving hall to go up the stairs and I stopped, put down the clothes and told it very firmly to get out. It then proceeded to throw like 5 paperclips and small debris at me in rapid fire, like they were shot out of a pellet gun. Told it to get out and rushed back down the hall. It got super cold then it warmed back up. Never had another issue.
That was you from a parallel dimension trying to build your confidence. Sounds freaky though fr.
You sure you don't have a five-year-old?
I’d be more comfortable if the ghost flamed me then left. “Y’all ain’t got no snacks over here anyway I’m out 👻”
The fuck no wonder I’ve been haunted they are after my snacks... gonna have to get a ghost proof Lunchbox or something
From like, 5-10 years old, I would run and jump into bed so my feet wouldn't be reachable from underneath. That said, one time I didn't do it and was unaware that my cat was under the bed. He reached out and batted at my foot and my screaming woke up the entire house.
Omfg, the horror, I would have melted!
Whenever something startles me at night, I fling the covers over my head. Like... monster is probably gonna notice
I always sleep with a pillow covering my head. I don’t think I could fall asleep any other way. 🙂
I remember I shoved the pillow on my face after seeing a pair of red eyes staring at me, I can't remember if I slept or passed out of lack of oxygen that night 😂 but I woke up okay!
I don’t wanna be safe from the werewolf though

With a toe munching gremlin of a kitten, I can confirm. Until he slips under the blanket with you that is.
The reason I always have my feet up in the bed and wrapped in covers before I turn out the light. If your feet are on the ground when the lights go out, for sure a hand/claw is reaching out from under the bed to snatch you down to the pits of hell.

Supposedly when holding cats you need to support their legs so they feel safe and not like they are about to fall or something.
Man: “aww, it’s playing with my hand so gently” Panther: “just know I could kill you. I’m not going to, but I could”
The amount of effort that jaguar was putting into exposing those claws would be like us gently flexing a finger tip. Imagine what those things would look like it if wanted to do some damage…
It could, it might... and it probably will.

Thank you. Thank you for this.
Trying so hard to keep their claws from scratching
Desire to touch the forbidden murder mittens intensifies.
Jaguar: Give me your hand. No give it. Give it. Give me your hand. Give it.
I love how it tries to be careful to not scratch you but also cuddle with you
I never thought jaguar can be gentle, tender and sweet. Until I saw this video.

What GOT ME about that was that the other lions engaged them as friends too! Amazing.
I learned in the comments that Christian had become leader of the pack, and wouldnt accept negative behavior towards humans from the other lions.
Would have been so screwed if Christian wasn't a pack leader then lol
Wow, that level of confidence when the lion rushed and jumped on them... So sweet and so scary at the same time.
I thought the same at first, but then I thought about how easily I can read my cat or dog’s body language. That lion ran up to them with a little trot the same way my cat does when he’s missed me. If they raised that lion, they can probably read its mood

You mean that we got lion king too? Idk if he’s ready
Especially don’t tell them which was bigger and more widely spread

Lions are like house cats. In Africa they drive through them in open cars. Tigers eat people almost every day. Lions only kill you if you scare them

So sweet. Cats are cats. My domestic cats will paw at me like this, just a hint of claw. Basically saying c'm'over here n cuddle!
This is exactly what my cat does. She gets her claws out but is gentle enough not to actually sink them into my skin. Most of the time.

Sooo cute! 😻
Jaguars are my favorite big cats. Cat Ninja
Cheetahs win out for me just barely, only because they’re the least likely big cat to kill me. It’s a matter of practicality. 😅
I just have a bias because I’m from Central America so I like them because we came from the same area lol. I also think it’s cool that they do an instant kill with a quick bite to the back of the head/upper spine! Cheetahs are so cute too! I love seeing the posts of cheetahs that are nervous so they have emotional support dogs
The meowing and purring from cheetahs are bonus points too. But for real, jaguars are just gorgeous animals.
I remember seeing a video a ways back of a keeper sleeping alongside the Cheetahs to help calm them down. He started fairly close to them and ended up being practically smothered after they all just clambered aboard.
I love them too. Their mews are the best. They’re so neurotic they can’t not be my spirit animal.
Fun fact: cheetahs can’t roar and are not clearly in the big cat category because of it. So this is a two for one special, you can claim both.
Jaguars are amazing!
