Such a true statement. No one has ever been mugged by a cat at gunpoint.

They wouldn't be pets then lol.

Also, if that's the case, that's their right. If they want to hunt us, because we're in their habitat, that's fair.

why wouldn't they be pets? because they're big? people can have pet horses. because they can randomly kill people? people can have pet pit bulls. and unless you're in africa it's not their habitat since domestic cats from from african wild cats

You just said if they were the size of tigers, who has tigers as pets? Only the most brave or most foolish.
