Big cats are not the same as house cats. I recommend checking the Big Cats As Pets section here: http://bigcatawareness.tumblr.com/resources

Tl;dr unnecessary injuries occur when people assume big cats are similar to house cats. That's because no big cats have been domesticated, while house cats are (and we know how terrifying a feral/not tame house cat can be).
On a lighter note the person who wrote that resource post has worked at Big Cat Rescue which is a pretty rad place with lots of adorable yt videos, like so:

Dogs and wolves also pull their ears back when they're really excited to see someone.

If a dog's doing the tight-lipped thing the fox is doing it's probably anxious (depends on the dog though) but for foxes all of the wiggling and nervous-looking behavior is excitement and affection. Fox behavior is pretty neat in how different it is from dogs & wolves. Foxes also can't snarl and make almost purring sounds when they're being pet. What weird little dudes. :3:

Here's another animal purring:

My husband of 12 years and I agreed last night that we're getting a divorce. It's amicable, we're going to stay friends, we still care for each other (just not like that), so that's cool and all, but I'm still really, I don't know, sad, disappointed, nervous and stressed about the future, all those things and a thousand more. Cute pics of capybaras and guinea pigs will be especially appreciated, but any cute animals will do. This thread is just the best :love:

When I lived in Ft. Lauderdale, FL there were a ton of those little dudes. Most of their homes had caution tape around them so you wouldn't accidentally disturb the owls. :3:

I know I should get Fuji another buddy, but losing Tokyo hurt me so badly that I'm just not ready. :smith:

Don't worry, Fuji gets two hours out of the cage with me every day, and my desk is right by his cage, so he's never alone.

I know that feeling. Rat ownership.


Speaking of rats, baby dumbo rats are incredibly cute:

It also compromises the cubs' immune system (being around all those people constantly touching them).

On a lighter note here's a weird lookin' animal: a striped hyena! Like spotted hyenas but fluffy and a little more shy. :3:

if I remember properly, aren't Hyena's actually pretty easy to tame by Large Predator standards?(I know that's the case with Cheetahs)

Yup! Spotted moreso than brown or striped, tho.
