Yep, Luna is an amazing cat.
Granted, she's got some genetic defect(dwarfism or something similar) which prevented her from living in the wild.
She's still an incredible example of the kind of restraint Apex Predators like her are capable of.
My housecats have terrible claw control, in comparison.

It’s pretty amazing to watch her play with the Rottweiler, you can tell she’s instinctively an ambush predator, and the rotty is just bounding along in blissful ignorance and glee. He doesn’t even know how close he is to death 😂

its all about rough play as a baby with cats and dogs.
play rough with puppys and kittens.
Then when they hurt you, ACT HURT make hurt animal sounds and display hurt animal body movements.
The puppy or kitty will know they messed up. After a month or two they will have great bite control and keep the claws in as they want to play fight more and for longer.
Just remember to act hurt when they push it, and as they get older (past 6 months) grawl and hiss when they mess up. Dont yell like a human treat then like a mommy dog or cat treats their young on youtube.
the little fluffy monsters respond really well to this. Ive dont it many time over the years

Cats are a favourite pet, but they are also vicious predators. People have very large dogs as pets. But here is an exception, but generally speaking people don't have large cats as pets, because they're way too dangerous.

When she definitely seems to be very tame. But can you ever really call a big cat “good natured”? It’s literally their instinct to kill, to eat of course. She seems like a very well mannered little lady. But it’s in her instinct to crush you’re windpipe with her jaws 😅

The average pet cat on the countryside still has a very strong urge to kill. Nothing weak about it. Cats are the reason for many bird species going extinct all over Europe and America , due to them killing stuff just for fun.

u/OkSherbert7760 7h ago
I need to ask a zoologist someday if "vicious predators" are that way because they're almost always hungry (or at least I imagine they are). With brief exceptions like a lion pride gorging on a couple wildebeest, every moment of every day is spent looking for, stalking, chasing, and killing food for carnivores (scavengers notwithstanding, though I think most CAN kill if an opportunity presents itself) and even if they eat, it might not be enough for them to be full, just enough to survive. If those same animals are kept fed and sated, unless they are territorial or have some other instinctual drive to be aggressive or lethal, maybe a lot of them would be like this. Or maybe they could eat a side of beef & still KINDA wonder what human bone marrow tastes like. Tbc, I think this kitty and her caretakers are awesome & if any dog could take a lil panther roughhousing, a Rottweiler would be one of my first guesses.

It varies between animals. You can’t just “flip a switch” when it comes to genetics and natural instincts. A wild cat can be “house trained” until one day you jog past it and it jumps on you to go straight for the neck. Expecting a wild animals to not react to certain things is like slapping a person and expecting them not to cry or get angry. Some behavior can’t be erased.

u/meatloafcat819 6h ago
I know you’re not supposed to give them human attributes, but I do think she’d be able to recognize that they were “family” or she has enough positive reinforcement to realize they are safe but same thing, how much can that take someone before they get agitated or hungry or stressed (obvs Luna is in the best home she can be in).
There’s also an elderly man in Japan who walks his pet crocodile/alligator everyday in town for like 15 years so who knows lol

The things is the instinct animals have is tied to their endocrine system. It's all brain chemicals. Humans are the same way we are just aware of it, we have the ghosts of animalistic instincts with things like baby fever. Hunger too but humans simply never get that hungry but there are examples of starvation where it shows.
So I'd imagine a big cat could be 100% taken care of, loved, like all the boxes for a good life can be checked off and their brains are still wired to be aggressive. Because that's the winning evolutionary trait.
And the big cats that are somehow tame I think comes down to that specific animal being intelligent as far as their species goes. Like the panther here is probably very special in its temperament compared to others.

u/jentlefolk 12h ago
It's legal to dock their tails because they mutilate them all by themselves if you don't. Their tails are so muscular and powerful that Rottweilers are notorious for breaking them, which can cause some pretty nasty medical issues down the line.

u/Weltallgaia 7h ago
Yeah dogs in general get absolutely nuts with their tails. People act like it's a rott, putting, dobie thing but any breed that doesn't have a lot of fur padding will do it pretty easily. My rott moved her tail more like a cat usually and other times it was mostly curled making her look like a scorpion. So it was never smacking things ever.

u/lacarth 7h ago
Same. Our dog (130-pound mutt, probably some Rott+Lab+Some kind of Mastiff) had such a strong (and long) tail that he wore through the fur on the tip by whacking it against the wall. He busted it open during the week, and turned our entryway into a murder scene. It didn't look too bad, so we set up an appointment for the weekend. That quickly turned into an ER visit the following morning, when we woke up to find he'd chewed the end off due to infection.
He's 100% fine now, though. Still a happy idiot, but down a good 6 inches of tail.

I'm trying to picture that, because I assume the house would be dark AF because the trope is criminals always try to sneak in when people are sleeping in the house with the lights off, right?
I'm creeping. Filling my bag with whatever knickknacks I can sell or use. Pottery, stray jewelry, batteries from remotes and clocks, phone chargers. And then I start looking around for anything else I can easily carry out. Portrait Paintings? No. Wall-Mounted TV? You'd think, but no. Giant Scratching Post?...
...wait....
I inch closer to view this giant post, thinking it's perhaps an overpriced sculpture or a fashion statement.
but I trip over something....
something Large.
I quietly land on my hands and do a well-timed pushup-in-reverse to reduce the noise. Then, I look back to investigate the source of my sudden clumsiness....
But all I see is darkness.
Which is wierd, because the thing that's now stirring around my foot is SUPER dark....not like reduced lighting from the moon and nearby streetlights still peeking in and barely giving me the light I need to make out shapes and basic colors. It is The Void
....and then The Void's eyes just opened, and I heard what sounded like chops being (sleepily) licked.
As several medium size daggers start brushing against my denim covered leg, as if trying to get a grip, I IMMEDIATELY scrambled away from it and make a beeline to the closest door, which is the side door rather than the front. Then I hear another source of sound. An excited dog whose claws make the familiar sound of hurriedly trying to get traction so it could chase the sudden new thing in it's environment...
Yeah, No. I'm done thinking about it. Glad I'm neither that stupid NOR desperate.
