Cat lovers will worship their pet cats like they are gods. But a little known fact about cat lovers, they tend to also be big cat enthusiasts. I mean, ask a cat lover if they would pet a wild big cat—9 times out of 10 they will say yes with no hesitation. Hell, I've straight up heard a cat person say they would sell their soul to pet a big cat.
Will, TikToker @safarisammie shares her experience as a professional zoologist and the time she spends with her animals. The bond she has with the big cats is stuff dreams are made out of. She gets to boop the snoot of a tiger! I mean, come ooooon. TikTokers are obsessed and don't understand why they not get to pet??








It is very much not recommended to go out and try and pet a wild big cat. Maybe you can get your own zoology degree and a job at a safari, but until then, you'll have to be satisfied with the adorable content this TikTok provides.
