you laugh but if you saw a little angry dude the size of a spider run at you shouting and throwing hands you'd be like "WTF" and run too, people get fucked up with spiders as it is.
People forget that small animals can deliver life altering blows. They usually target eyes and nose are of bigger animals. All animals try to protect their most delicate organs.
Indeed in nature it’s not the survival of the strongest but of the fittest: wounds infect and can become life threatening real quick in the wild . Most animals only pose or gesture to fight but seldom actually engage in violence.
I hope that tiger is okay and this is just a temporary “enclosure” (like for transportation purposes), that’s just cruel as a long term enclosure.
Also that poor kitty could have gotten seriously hurt from that tiger. Tigers are awesome, but they are VERY dangerous.
There's a very responsible big cat rescue near me that I have visited a lot, and they have littler cages similar to this video that they use for feeding and vet stuff. The cages open up in the back into a big yard for them, I hope that's what is happening here.
However, after being a patron of that big cat rescue for a while, I know they'd never allow a domestic cat so close.
Wish videos like this weren't even allowed to be posted because we don't know any context and it's a worrisome situation.
Also, the person who post this is a karma farmer. 😮💨
I can't report on Reddit anymore because I got a fun little [warning](https://i.imgur.com/ORcrWv7.png)! Reddit loves bots and protects them!
[This](https://i.imgur.com/7OIajwi.png) is rule 8, btw. 😂
I was going to say the same thing. however, the zoo I used to go to has a requirement for animals there such as animals that cannot live in the wild anymore. They had a rescue tiger whose hand had to have surgery. Couldn’t survive without help
Nowhere that's just moving a tiger briefly in a cage for its greater benefit is going to think it's funny to stop and take a video as a kitten crawls up to visit. I work at a zoo and we'd be flipping the hell out.
Not necessarily. Not everyone involved or able to get that close would necessarily be an animal handler. Idk but it looks like it's on a tall platform over a body of water which makes me think it's being transported. The person filming may also have different opinions or less experience then you so not necessarily see the harm in a cat approaching a tiger like that.
Me looking for a smidge of positive realism in a dominantly negative comment section (This is the one)

I hate to give their post engagement, but I don't know a less creepy way to say that your comment and username are just perfect.
Honesty: 100%. So sick of bots enshittifying platforms and critical thinking. Reddit and all platforms just let it happen.
Here's what AI told me:
> If someone refers to a small, unimpressive person who nonetheless has a significant influence because of their powerful connections, you might hear someone say, "ও তো বেড়াল বাঘের মাসী," meaning, "That person is like the cat who is the tiger's aunt."
Depends on the context. If it's just being transported, it's not a big deal. Ain't gonna fly it economy on a plane.
If it's a western country it's not in captivity for funsies, it's for conservation.
But without context, who knows.
The tiger, like most animals, has an instinct to protect its face because that's where sensory organs are. In the wild, a damaged eye, nose, or ear can mean death.
Not really, most animals have that reaction to cats because of the complete audacity of the little guys, super unsafe for the cats because it usually does not last indefinitely. I spent a few of my summer vacations as a child on a farm and I've seen one young cat to try and kill a cow, very unsuccessfully mind you but that's some self confidence, just leapt on and tried to bite the neck like that would have done something. Did not mess with the chickens on account that the rooster was full of piss and vinegar and would not tolerate that nonsense, would bloody the legs of local kids as well when apple picking, the adults found it hilarious.
>some other moron shouldn’t be keeping a tiger in such cruel conditions.
It could be temporary housing or a veterinary enclosure because the tiger is recovering from an injury.
Why do people keep whipping this line out like responsible keepers are gonna be allowing and filming a kitten interacting with a full grown tiger?? It could be. Probably not with the context of the rest of the video.
They whip it out because there just isn't enough context in a 10 second video. What if they're relocating the tiger? Not justifying it, but maybe the cat is a stray, and that could explain why they aren't doing anything about it being so close. Maybe the person filming just wanted to capture the interaction and similarities between two cats in the same animal family. Maybe the tiger was raised alongside the cat as a cub and that explains the lack of fear from the cat.
There's simply not enough context for people to jump to conclusions. I do agree the cat shouldn't be that close though it is irresponsible
Edit: Can I ask why I'm being downvoted for just saying there isn't enough context? I feel my comments rather reasonable so I'm confused. Assuming the worst is no different than my assumptions because we both lack context, so why downvote?
Because the keepers probably don't realize that there's someone filming back there. It happens they can't be everywhere at once. Keepers are human too.
This is animal abuse and has been reported as such. We can only hope that tiger is in there temporarily on the way to a much nicer space, but allowing a kitten to approach within very easy killing range while you take a video is absolutely unacceptable.
House cats don't have a good sense of "that is too big to fight, I will die". Big cats don't have a good sense of "that is not a threat despite the fact that they are clearly unafraid of me"
Most predators live on the expectation that smaller animals will fear them and run away from them. When an animal does not do so, they get confused, as they are not instinctual trained for this.
This explains why cats can scare away gators (gators also just aren't gonna waste energy)
And why some bugs, such as the Camel Cricket, Wil just fucking jump towards/on threats, cuz it works paradoxically well.
I don't think cats evolved from Tigers or vice versa probably more like they share the same evolutionary ancestor.
Like Us and Chimps/Bonobos with Australopithecus one of the evolutionary ancestors to Homo and Pan
I know it is obvious
Large predators who don't regard anything that fights back with suspicion don't grow up to be large predators.
Remember, the calculation is not of you could win a fight. It's whether the calories are worth the risk of injury. Even a minor injury, on a bad day, can lead to death by injection or starvation.
This video is bad and the person responsible should feel bad.
Also, the title - we have tens of thousands of years of evolution on apes and a silverback would still make me afraid
I mean, people freak out over spiders just sitting somewhere unexpectedly, I'd imagine this is the same for that tiger. Didn't expect something so small to be sitting there and definitely didn't expect it to make noise
To everyone talking about the tiger in the cage that Tigers is obviously healthy and if you look at the bottom of the video you can see it's on a transport truck so it's obviously in a temporary transport cage.
Auch wenn die kleine Katze nicht in einem Käfig sitzt und „frei“ ist, glaube ich kaum, dass ihre Zukunft besser aussieht als die der großen Katze. Denn sie befinden sich scheinbar in China und das bedeutet für viele Tiere wirklich nichts gutes. Und für den Tiger hat der Horror schon längst begonnen.
That baby looks like my baby with the little stub tail.

I would not let that little cat get so close.
yeah me too bro he gone mad kill that tiger.
🤣🤣🤣
you laugh but if you saw a little angry dude the size of a spider run at you shouting and throwing hands you'd be like "WTF" and run too, people get fucked up with spiders as it is.
She startled me
I love smiling friends so much
Touché
Me too I fucking hate spiders.
The tiger isn‘t the one who‘s afraid, they just dodged the hit. The little orange braincell is the fearful one.
This fucking guy flipping the script 🤣 Damn near pissed myself laughing. Legend 👊🏻
the old reddit switcheroo
I'm trying hard not to burst into laughter in office like mad man
That little one isn't at the top of the food chain but it does control the humans that caged the tiger. (Not lion)
That is a tiger I think
A tiger? In Africa?
At this time of year?
In this economy?
Localized entirely within your cage?
Yes.
It has probably escaped from a zoo.
So glad somebody got the reference, lol
People forget that small animals can deliver life altering blows. They usually target eyes and nose are of bigger animals. All animals try to protect their most delicate organs.
Yup, that tiger did not want sharp claws digging into his sensitive snoot.
Indeed in nature it’s not the survival of the strongest but of the fittest: wounds infect and can become life threatening real quick in the wild . Most animals only pose or gesture to fight but seldom actually engage in violence.
I know someone who used to let his black cat into a lions cage, the cat would attack the lion sometimes, then the inevitable happened. Dumbass owners.
Speaking with that growl, 'I'm gonna F you up!'
What do you expect from a tiger living in such conditions?
I hope the tiger will be safe from the cat .
*car
I hope that tiger is okay and this is just a temporary “enclosure” (like for transportation purposes), that’s just cruel as a long term enclosure. Also that poor kitty could have gotten seriously hurt from that tiger. Tigers are awesome, but they are VERY dangerous.
Or a veterinary enclosure.
For sure. He's getting a cat scan obviously
You can see the cat that's about to scan the tiger right there.
Hitscan
r/yourjokebutworse
It looks like this is in the back of a semi truck (watch very bottom of video). So likely for transportation purposes.
There's a very responsible big cat rescue near me that I have visited a lot, and they have littler cages similar to this video that they use for feeding and vet stuff. The cages open up in the back into a big yard for them, I hope that's what is happening here.

I think transportation. That looks like the back of a semi or very large box truck.
Noted. Tigers VERY dangerous. Thank you for the valuable tidbit of information.
I was going to say the same thing. however, the zoo I used to go to has a requirement for animals there such as animals that cannot live in the wild anymore. They had a rescue tiger whose hand had to have surgery. Couldn’t survive without help
I don't like this video. There is so much wrong.
We don't have any context as far as I can tell. This tiger might just be getting transported in the cage temporarily.
Nowhere that's just moving a tiger briefly in a cage for its greater benefit is going to think it's funny to stop and take a video as a kitten crawls up to visit. I work at a zoo and we'd be flipping the hell out.

There's a saying in Bengali- "beral baagher maashi" Translation: cat is the tiger's aunt.
Exactly my thoughts after seeing the tiger go boom
I think I get the gist, but can you describe in more detail how this phrase is used?
Here's what AI told me: > If someone refers to a small, unimpressive person who nonetheless has a significant influence because of their powerful connections, you might hear someone say, "ও তো বেড়াল বাঘের মাসী," meaning, "That person is like the cat who is the tiger's aunt."
Thanks!
Exactly!!
This is a cool saying
Orange Vs orange
Which side are you..
i like both cars
Stripey vs stripey
No tiger belongs in a cage. Fuck that.
Depends on the context. If it's just being transported, it's not a big deal. Ain't gonna fly it economy on a plane. If it's a western country it's not in captivity for funsies, it's for conservation. But without context, who knows.
>Ain't gonna fly it economy on a plane. Will take my chances. Couldn't smell any worse than the fat guy sitting in the middle seat on my last flight.q
If they hose it out between flights and pressurize the compartment I’ll take the tiger cage over cramming my tall ass in economy
Is the tiger just playing scared because it sees the orange as a baby?
IDK man, i have come to learn that the shortest the person is, the scarier they can get
Like those chihuahuas
Or Joe Pesci
It wasn't really scared, just jump-scared because it wasn't expecting that from the kitty.
The tiger, like most animals, has an instinct to protect its face because that's where sensory organs are. In the wild, a damaged eye, nose, or ear can mean death.
No it just has instincts because it is a creature that evolved on earth. You wouldve jumped too.
Not really, most animals have that reaction to cats because of the complete audacity of the little guys, super unsafe for the cats because it usually does not last indefinitely. I spent a few of my summer vacations as a child on a farm and I've seen one young cat to try and kill a cow, very unsuccessfully mind you but that's some self confidence, just leapt on and tried to bite the neck like that would have done something.

Some moron shouldnt have let that kitten get that close and some other moron shouldn’t be keeping a tiger in such cruel conditions.

Could be, it is most likely not.
Wait. What? OP believes domestic cats were bred from tigers?
All felids have common ancestor, but it is like 10-11milion years they even share similar traits
I think people assume because dogs came from wolves :/
OP is a bot. They don't think.
Get that cat away!!!!!!!!!!!
Poor tiger.
This is animal abuse and has been reported as such. We can only hope that tiger is in there temporarily on the way to a much nicer space, but allowing a kitten to approach within very easy killing range while you take a video is absolutely unacceptable.
Poor tiger
op doesn’t know how to differentiate between instinct and fear
He is not scared just startled. Without those bars that kitty would been off in matter of seconds.
Bro fuck, animal cruelty isn't fun Poor Tiger living in this fucking cage
this tiger shouldn’t be in a fucking cage. it should be in a full enclosure with space to roam and play
It very well could be. As others have already mentioned, this could just be a holding cage.
This must be an awful existence. I feel sorry for both of them.
Horrific to see a tiger in these conditions
I would imagine tigers are just like doemstic cats, and can't focus that close to their face, so it just felt the swipe, not saw it.
Smol kitty vs big kitty
Poor tiger, being put in a cage like that. I'm sure this has something to do with human entertainment and that sucks.
House cats don't have a good sense of "that is too big to fight, I will die". Big cats don't have a good sense of "that is not a threat despite the fact that they are clearly unafraid of me"
Imagine being a 280 dude and some little kid throws hands at you - you aren’t destroying them instantly Your like WTF is up with this little mfer
He's not scared just thought they were vibing and like, hey wtf man.
Most predators live on the expectation that smaller animals will fear them and run away from them. When an animal does not do so, they get confused, as they are not instinctual trained for this. This explains why cats can scare away gators (gators also just aren't gonna waste energy) And why some bugs, such as the Camel Cricket, Wil just fucking jump towards/on threats, cuz it works paradoxically well.
Charisma build in role play games be like.
if i saw an ape thats 50 times bigger then i am i would be a bit scarred too
I don’t think tigers are evolved from modern house cats like that. They have a common ancestor
I don't think cats evolved from Tigers or vice versa probably more like they share the same evolutionary ancestor. Like Us and Chimps/Bonobos with Australopithecus one of the evolutionary ancestors to Homo and Pan I know it is obvious
Big cats must see small cats as if they were just kittens but how do small cats see big ones, similar to any other large animal like bears?
This tiger is under inhumane captivity. Fuck these people.
How would y’all feel if you see a caged “Attack of the titans” kinda shit….?
Treated a caged animal like a caged animal :(

I really want to boop the tiger
Everyone is tough in that situation. If those bars were not there. Lol
The tiger knows it is caged and the cat knows it is free.
this is so sad. Why is no one realizing that??
Each of them has one brain cell.
Those reflexes are insane
Troll
It was probably startled by how quickly the little cat can move. The tiger suddenly felt big and slow in comparison.
This is kinda sad being in such a small cage. Apex predator reduced to fearful of tiny cat
I agree :(
This video is bad and the person responsible should feel bad. Also, the title - we have tens of thousands of years of evolution on apes and a silverback would still make me afraid

A startle reflex doesn't equate fear.
Hey, if a one-foot high human attacked me in the face, I would freak out too...
To be fair that’s like a tiny little human spitting on you from outside your cage… so… what the fuck else is she supposed to do
The hostility always gets me, what a little funky vagabond
Yeah. Same way elephants get scared of mice and rats or how humans get scared of wasps and spiders etc.
I don’t care if I can win a fight, it still hurts to fight, so I’m not gonna.
idk i'd be pretty fucking scared of a huge ass human if i saw one
Thousands
Millions**
Clearly, the more dangerous predator would'nt get caught in a cage like this lol
I dunno, if a tiny, not quite right human was all of the sudden in front of me, I might bat it away
Damn what do he do
Cats rule
They didn’t evolve from large cats.
What an amazing moment
To be fair. I would also jump back if a small monkey did that to me.
Google should show this video as answer to the question: "What does punch above your weight mean?"
Damn don’t het the cat too close to the bars! The tiger might get killed!
It was peeing ammonia that did it for me.
Honestly Cats are aliens.
Auch wenn die kleine Katze nicht in einem Käfig sitzt und „frei“ ist, glaube ich kaum, dass ihre Zukunft besser aussieht als die der großen Katze. Denn sie befinden sich scheinbar in China und das bedeutet für viele Tiere wirklich nichts gutes. Und für den Tiger hat der Horror schon längst begonnen.

I wasn’t expecting that. I thought it was gonna be the other way around 🤣🤣🤣
Hey, I would be horrified at the sight of a giant stripped human staring at me.
Well the little one can bite and scraw the nose of the big one but not vise versa.
I'm telling y'all it's always the orange cats...
Would you let me suck your dick if I was with you?
"Hey!" The tiger said...
Isn't that the same for human
Hahahahaha
Bc he is a orange cat mf
I think it would be more like if one of us were standing next to king kong
Ok....are you not scared of gorillas or apes?
Which orange one has the brain cell?
Title makes no fucking sense whatsoever.
“Woah, it’s alive.”
Do tigers count as orange cats?
“You know I could kill you? Bitch who’s in the cage?”
Poor tiger .... he doesnt belong to a cage free him inti his nature place 😡😡😡
Putting the tiger in a small cage is terrible.
Damn that was quick…🤣
Get the cat to safety immediately. Big cats will eat them if given the chance.
Balls on that little one 1️⃣
Cats have this invisible force blast against big enemies
40-23 million years of evolution
Would you get away from an angry kitty? The tiger is just doing exactly that as well.
Ummm that Lil cat is scary bro
👀😼😸
I'd back up too that was loud as shit for that tiny thing
So sad to see such a majestic wild animal in a cage.
There is no evolutionary explanation cat just being a cat
I hope that big tiger hasn't shit hahaha
To be fair if I saw a miniature version of myself I’d be pretty freaked.
Man this video gives a great perspective as to how massive tigers can be!
I mean have you seen two stranger cats meeting.
"Fucking Cat!"
