Bobcats purr fairly loud also. At least mine does. He isn't a big cat, though. Only 31 pounds.
Wait... what?! I wanna see a pic of you petting a bobcat! Please? I've never heard of such
Two years ago I had one run right up to the edge of my boot while I was deer hunting. I did not think to pet it.. After a moment I said, "How goes?" and it ran off.
My trained one of her house cats to fetch. Never would have believed it was possible but she did it
One of the Siamese female cats Mom had would retrieve her toy rabbit fur covered mouse over and over for you. She’d hop up in your lap and drop it then wait for you to throw it again. Till you got tired of it. 🤪
GF and I had a cat, and taught it to fetch. Same as you, he would do it until you were worn out.
She also trained him to lay down and roll over on command. It was funny stuff to watch. Also put a small rubber snake about 5' up on a cabinet with the tail hanging off. Cat would jump up and knock it off with a paw.
Y'all ever get in a physical altercation with some dudes that look like that? Those scrawny bastards can fight. They are made of muscle and rice and that's pretty much it.
My grandfather was 5'6" and built like that. Born in 1918, had a bunch of brothers, grew up in the coal mines, WWII infantryman.
Fighting wasn't foreign to those coal miners, Pap was one who enjoyed a good scuffle. I have no idea how so much strength could come from such scrawny arms.
Quite a few big guys figured out what you know, the hard way.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

Maybe... I don't know what kind of monks they are. Bhuddists practically starve themselves and do no exercise at all. They're pretty frail. Monks in other eastern religions can be exactly the opposite. They train hard every day and can be some really tough characters. Just to look at the pictures, they look pretty tough to me. They're very wiry, not starved. Look at the chest and shoulders on the guy on top the cat. He's in shape.

It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
Kitties, dogs, ... humans? I thinks so. Only difference is humans, supposedly being smarter, require treats for life ie. tricks never become a sustained learned behavior without the treats. Additionally, "reward" has to become increased over time. Applies to many of the comments in this thread...
Back to the tiger, this trick is kind of similar to training your dog to let a treat sit on it's nose until you give it the command to react and snap it off out of the air. No different than this particular cat trick... we are just seeing a pic from the early stages of the "trick/treat" training system. Start off simple and it will take lots of time and "treats" to get to the final trained behavior. Big, wild cats being more difficult to domesticate require a little more patience and treats to get to the final "performance". No problem, lots of treats available in that neck of the woods!!!
With big cats, this trick should be taught outside... kind of messy(or at least on linoleum if it has to be performed inside!)
