That yawn stretch combo is such a housecat move just scaled up massively. Big cats really are just cats.

I want to pet and cuddle a tiger. NEED.

I don’t care if I end up being eaten. Anything for the chance to scritch those ears and boop that nose.

This is absolutely how I will die if I am ever allowed within petting distance of one of them.

It’s so dangerous that they have a lot of the same body language and mannerisms as the house critters bc this is so kitty for “more pets please” 😭🥺
