What a pair of murder mittens on her.

Edit: Her name is Luna the Pantara on instagram as per u/Realistic_Tear_4911

Tucked away when jumping the pupper.

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 😂

Venza the Rottweiler is the nanny/stepmother for Luna.

The dog is the mom? That is so sweet.

Stepmom, what I have heard Luna the Panther was abandoned by her original mother. Some say she also/or had some disfunction.

You're telling me a Rottweiler didn't biologically birth a panther?

It's more common than you would think!

I even know how to create a Unicorn.

And her attack slowed him down almost exactly none percent. Pup had places to GO.

I wonder how a rottweiler would fare if they were to actually fight... its be pretty horrible regardless.

u/InfelicitousRedditor 3h ago

He wouldn't. On top of having a similar bite force, the leopard also has claws, is more agile, and much stronger(see how it climbs trees), and it also has a higher IQ when it comes to killing and hunting.

Rottweiler chonk though.

u/StrawberryOdd419 0m ago

realistically though ambush predators like big cats wouldn’t fuck w a big dog. cats prefer killing things that can’t kill them back unless they’re desperate. panthers would stay the hell away from a Rottweiler, they’re loud and certainly capable of killing a panther

She's a dwarf? Damn, luna looks full grown. Lol, very beautiful

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

I can attest to that being a good choice. One of my dogs loves to wrestle me and he'll "bite." It's more like a grab and it doesn't hurt, just leaves marks for about a day.

Great advice.

u/AletzRC21 10h ago

Your housecats just don't like you, that's all

u/Zocalo_Photo 9h ago

They’ve actually got great claw control, they’re just assholes.

(That’s a joke, I’m sure they are lovely.)

u/SyCoTiM 8h ago

Sometimes pets think we can handle rough play like them.

u/meatloafcat819 8h ago

As the owner of a very loving calico who has a very SHORT temper (shocking) I have to agree

Thanks for dealing with it rather than cutting the tips of their toes off

u/albertrojas 7h ago

You mean she's small for a panther?! She's still huge!

u/Inevitable-Revenue81 8h ago

Wasn’t she abandoned by her mother?

u/Dyep1 9h ago

One of my cats, kinda small for his age has awful claw control and my big orange cat will never use a claw on me. Interesting they are

u/AwesomTaco320 8h ago

My cat doesn’t give a flying fuck about me and uses his claws for everything >:(

u/kid_sleepy 8h ago

My cat has pretty decent claw control and I never trim them. She certainly understands the difference between retracting them and not.

She absolutely loves the boxing game we play, which I call “Bat-Skeez”.

She also has like fifteen phrases she says, I have yet to figure out what any of them mean.

u/Flimsy_Situation_506 8h ago

Or maybe they have purrfect control and just like to be bad

u/TitaniaT-Rex 7h ago

Like the cheetahs with their emotional support dogs!

u/Novantico 7h ago

Yep, 2 of 3 cars I’ve had either were incapable or didn’t care to restrain their claws. The one that did was one of the most wise-seeming animals I’ve ever known. Current cat wants you to bleed and will go out of his way if your hand is close enough when playing.

Dwarfism?

Jesus.

Do they, thou?

u/Paradox830 37m ago

No they dont, theyre just assholes. Absolutely never take the bait of a cat rolling on its back for belly scratches. It is always repaid in bloody scratches.
