minus-squareDaCrazyJamezlinkfedilinkarrow-up24·9 months agoOk, so now I’m curious, will wild big cats and domestics cats get along? I mean like if a tabby got into a tiger enclosure, would it immediately be dinner, or might they see each other as cousins?
minus-squarefestus@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25·9 months agoThere was that story of a stray cat that lived with a big cat at the Moscow zoo so they can get along, but I have no idea how common it is in nature.
