@freemo Not too long ago I was having a very slight panic attack at home. My cat just came up and shut it down like a pro. She just sat on my lap and purred and bit my finger gently. It got me out of that mind spot and I gave her a hug and all was well.

I haven't trained her to do this thing! I rarely have anxiety attacks like that anymore, so.. she's something of a natural, a savant!

@freemo Well, domesticated ones at least. Pretty sure the end result would have been different with a wolf or bear. :P

@Surasanji I dunno, as long as the bear isnt hungry he would probably give some epic cuddles too.

@freemo I mean, maybe. But I have a very healthy respect for an animal that can kill a moose with a paw swipe.

@freemo I've played with and cuddled a baby tiger before. About the size of a cocker spaniel at the time.

@freemo Yeah, a friend of the family is a magician who uses big cats in his act, and runs a big cat sanctuary as well.

@freemo One of my big childhood memories to be honest. The tiger's name was Chuckie.
