ITV - The Story of Cats Series 1 (2016) Part 2 Cute Response

The Story Of Cats Series 1

Wildlife series comparing the behaviour of domestic felines to big cats in the wild. Our domestic moggies are the latest adaptation of the cats that first appeared in the forests of south-east Asia. And while you might not think so when you look at your own cat slumped in front of the fire, they still share some fascinating character traits with their bigger wild cousins. From agility to territory marking to hunting, it’s surprising how much our cats have retained. What’s equally surprising is how some people relate to our bigger feline friends. Take Kevin Richardson, who looks after rescue lions in South Africa. “They’re super-friendly, super-nice,” he says, cheerfully, as he’s promptly wrestled to the ground by a hulking great lioness. But all the time he’s watching their every move, and he’s got some handy hints for gauging your own cat’s state of mind.
