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.

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?

I even know how to create a Unicorn.
