This is a link post One Man and his Cat I made this!
The situations I find myself in :)

A little something from this afternoon. This was all a bit random, I just found Terry with Kermal and just started shooting without a tripod at hand, so it does suffer from a bit of camera shake, so I didn't bother to upload it HD or particularly large.

What you will see is one man's remarkable relationship with one of his fully grown snow leopards, the trust, the genuine affection. I didn't feel in danger at any point in this situation btw, Kermal was simply his chilled, placid self.

We were trying to move him and Nina into the enclosure next door, but he was having none of it.

This is a normal post Just saw that on the book of faces.
I love cats of all sizes and shapes but there´s no fucking way I´d stick my arm in that cage. How has Terry managed to keep all his limbs for so long?

This is a normal post For animals that aren't trained, drugged, or declawed, our cats generally display a remarkable amount of non-aggression
Each animal has it's own personality and temperament, so you know how you approach each animal when you've got to know it after time.

As all the b3tan's who have had the pleasure of meeting these guys in person will testify, some of our cats are really completely hands off, and Terry would never even attempt something like this with them. Our two Amur leopards are a completely no go area even contemplating contact such as this. We have a male snow leopard who is equally as 'You are not invited into my personal space, fuck off.'

But this is the relationship Terry has developed with this adult male, and it's touching. At no point hovering over Terry's shoulder did I detect or sense any irritation or hostility from Kermal, he was just enjoying having a good scratch. Our girls are the same. I was in with one of them on Friday holding a boom for a film maker with Terry and a chicken trying to lure it out of it's enclosure, and into a new one.

This is a normal post These things can end very badly, I'm afraid.

This is a normal post We are not about anything like that what so ever
That's not how we can co-exist with these animals in reality, and i'm not particularly happy about circus acts like that, or people making out they can roll around with cats in the wild like some people do. Note the caution in our approach.

This is a normal post Why does this remind me of the guy that jumped in the grizzly enclosure.
You need a disclaimer: These are trained professionals who still have 93% of their original digits.
