Brave Russian Woman Brushes And Smooches A Huge Siberian Lynx In Viral Video, The Internet Reacts With Both Jealousy And Fear

If you're anything like us, then you have spent an inordinate amount of time… fawning over big cats. And yes, we know, we know that big cats are dangerous and should not be petted, but we can't help but want to! They're so adorable and fluffy, and they're like a housecat times 15. And some people cat do it! Why can't we? We have all seen those videos of humans who are part of lion prides and videos of people who have raised cheetahs since they're young and are now best friends with them, and videos of giant caracals nagging humans while they work.

And today, we have another video in the same genre. A Russian woman - a brave Russian woman - petting and smooching a massive Siberian lynx. And the internet, just like us, recognized the danger of the situation… but couldn't help but be jealous of her at the same time.

There's something different about Russian people, we swear. Every time we see a video of someone cuddling with a giant animal that they have no business cuddling, they always speak with that accent. And we have to say… that if nothing else, we admire their bravery of chasing our dreams of petting big cats.

There is honestly so much going on in this video. From the way that the lynx is sitting on this stool to the fearless way this woman is smooching the cat. There's a lot here. And we're conflicted, in multiple ways, but also jealous. Can't help it. We wanna pet too.
