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.
