Nibbles for Cats
I made this!
One or two of the snow leopards really are this friendly btw, and in the later half you can see how Omega, Nina's older sister by one litter, simply soaks up affection. It's unusual for untrained Panthera even in captivity, being this placid with people.
It's in HD, so click on the HD link on Vimeo if you want
If any of you lot want to experience the same, give me a shout :)
Edit: Three for grabs

Terry's got ten snowies on site, and owns five more throughout the UK on breeding programs
making his the largest population possibly outside of India. Bar Pavesh, a young male, all of them are the most blissed out big cats you could ever meet. If they want a scratch, they'll come over to you, and quite simply display not an ounce of aggression.
You only really have to be wiry of Nina's mum, given she still is in that mode. But as with all Leopards, you NEVER take your eyes off them with your fingers. I guess it's in their genes to be sly and unpredictable

Simply awesome
that they're that docile around people, and incredibly sweet.
But yeah, I would not take my eyes off of my finger if I was poking one into the cage. Cute as they are, my adrenal glands would still be on high alert, ready to dump a litre of adrenalin into my veins... ;)

That's really cool mate
If ever you want to visit let me know. We don't obviously allow the general public such intimate contact with our cats, it's all under strict supervision.

I did run this past Chris
but to be honest anyone who does bid and gets something, stands to get something unique like this as a thank you of sorts. I'll be there to hopefully ensure no one loses any fingers :)

Oh my, yes!
I want to feed the kittehs! Bet you won't let me bring one home though. Actually, that's not such a good idea as the cat flap isn't that big and there's no way I'm cleaning THAT litter tray out.
Such a lully video; I can never watch your videos just once.

Such beautiful animals.
Do they have tough stomachs to be able to eat things like chicken bones? I thought they were all sharp and splintery and bad for kitteh tums?
