Thank you for watching and tell a friend!
These guys and girls are mean too!
We get this quite a lot people dumping domestics outside our front gate etc..., of course we get them checked out, spay/neuter then adopt them out :)
*sees grass*
wow.. wow. WOW!
they are gorgeous! thanks for protecting them!
In "Iran" you can find so many Jungle cat in cities and streets
and they don't say "meow meow" . they say "maaw maw" :D
Shahin Amidi so they are City Cats
@@Federico84 they domesticated jungle cat!
Yes their loud voice at night . Oh my God

Thanks, we will!
Such beautiful cats. More should be done to protect them.
True
So the ugly cats, should less be done to protect them? Don't worry Pallas cat - I still love you.
@@zeroxox777 All cats are beautiful, bold of you to assume any are ugly (and bold of you to call pallas cats ugly, they're adorable)
Your comments are very informative. Thanks for sharing the information and keep up the great work at Big Cat Rescue.
Beautiful cats!
They are so beautiful.
"And probably be very mean." *HISS*. Lol this made me giggle.
That r the most beautiful eyes i ever saw on a cat (imo) wow
The quality of the video is so good!
I love their eyeliner which is just like the African wildcat! Not all of us find big cats more impressive: they are so over exposed compared to small cats, although Cheetah have tended to be my favourite animal. But I love all cats. Surely they are one of the most perfect families on Earth!
Wow. What a bootiful boot!
@Lolwut2o9 We don't do any breeding at the sanctuary, Jungle cats are represented in many accredited zoos that breed them for species survival plans. We don't want to breed them for life in a cage, we would rather use our resources to help animals in need.
Beautiful and very precious cats!
It is my greatest hope they continue to exist in the wild.
Thank you for caring about the cats. We agree. Breeding more for life in cages is wrong.
Sounds good, I'm sure you'll enjoy a tour of the sanctuary, the video is still processing give it a few minutes and all will be good :)
I love the jungle cats.
Majestic Like wolfs
The sounds they make are soooooo cute. :3
Wow...wow...wow?
Feline Potato wow :3
@usenetposts Hybrids don't need protecting they are man made animals and are not real species. There are many organizations that protect and breed species of cats, there is no need for big cats to be privately owned. There are many hybrid cats that go without finding a home, people realize they are still very much wild in most cases, the savannah cat we rescue was abandoned for example. No wild species of big cats will ever be domesticated.
Beautiful.
RAMBO is the best at making this noise, very funny to hear it coming from him!
Yep, that sounds right Scott as been in quite a few episodes of that show :)
So damn cute!!! They're like saying wow wow wow
I'll look into this. Thank you for caring.
The noise they make sounds like someone un-enthusiastically making a "meow" sound.
Probably why the Ancient Egyptians called cats "mau".
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute........................I hope I will finally get to see one next time I come visit.
У суровых котов суровый "мяу" !!!!!
Very cute, cats are all impressive.
Beautiful cats
Cross breeding domestic cats with wild cats makes no sense to me at all. 'Here's a creature we've spent thousands of years domesticating. Let's undo that."
We agree!
Domestic cats differ little from the various species of small to midsize wildcats and they arent well domesticated. The ease by which they go feral is evidence of that.
The answer is, *PEOPLE = SHIT.*
It's only an _expression_ at the moment. But we hope to have a unified hypothesis/theory before we nuke ourselves.
As it seems however, we're not far off from these little guys.
Your Friend,

What do you really know about Chausie F1, do you have some experience or you experience based on "i don't understand why"?
Some evidence (links) please of bad behavior and i give you my positive experience.
I don’t understand WHY anyone would want anything that they KNOW doesn’t like people and can kill them living in their home as a “pet.” Never mind explaining instinct, the animal isn’t at fault when something bad happens (and it WILL happen), the stories of perfect companionship are exceptions (and often bs) and you are the rule; all of this often falls on deaf ears of narcissistic and sadly, stupid people. But seriously, if the animal is clearly capable of ripping your face off and enthusiastic about doing so, WHY DO YOU WANT IT IN YOUR HOME?!
People just don't make any sense to me sometimes.
The jungle cat is beautiful by the way!
Didn't even know they existed until now :O
Lmfao shaniqua though 😂😂😂😂
I do have something to say in response to hybrid cats. The reason people make hybrid animals whether they be cats, dogs, horses, reptiles, or whatever is because often times they will recieve qualities from both parents that make them desirable. Alot of breeders of savannah cats and chausie cats also have breeding programs for servals and jungle cats, so they are increasing those populations as well.
Since discovering these jungle cats here, I tease my Abby-Tabby mix that he's obviously part jungle cat. Same ticked fur, and he thinks he's king of the hunters. (But he lives indoors and so mostly gets to maul cat dancers, plants, and the hands of overly affectionate humans. :p )
I think jungle cats are pretty common in india... In my place we can spot them like birds and sqirrels in our back yard... Jackals and jungle cats are prettt common.They became pretty rare in villages at one time but now they are returning..
That must have been scary, it's sad that people are pushing wild animals out of their homes.
They named the cat Shaniqua......lmao
😂 😂 😂
Yup Shaniqua is African meaning God is gracious!
Hahaha
Adorable! They have such a cute meow. They have that house cat shaped face, but a big cat body. I never got why people bred cats, instead of just adopting them. Its horrible! Why do people have to make MORE houses, cities, etc? I doesnt make sense. I really admire how you guys are helping out all these beautiful species.
- Your #1 fan, Voka.
Mao mao mao mao lol So cute. And the history of the Jungle cats being mummified, is interesting.
Thanks for watching and commenting on our videos!
OMG SO CUTE
@EnemyOfTheState1 Any wild species of cat or "domestic" for that matter can injure someone if they feel like it, we have a serval who attacked a 3 year old child and then was no longer wanted by the family. I'll say it AGAIN....It's a matter of if it's right to own these animals...which it is not! The cats always suffer, they are wild animals!
@staceysimba No it would be cruel and unnecessary, we only feed live prey to bobcats that we rehab and release back into the wild etc... :)
You could be right there we'll try and do more leopard/cougar videos in the future :)
They're very beautiful cats! And I bet even more beautiful in the wild. Thanks for all you do.
wow!! That jungle cat was really hissy!! They sure are beautiful though :)
I'd seen a jungle cat as a kid in South west India. As the years passed, most of them were killed by the villagers in the area, but now they're back in our property with all the greenery around. We let them be :)
Good to hear good things..they are so Amazing. .thank you from us human cat lovers🌋
@BigCatRescue People want these animals just to be "cool".
It's rediculous, and lacks in common sense and wisdom.
Owning something beautiful does not make YOU beautiful. Humans will never understand that. They continue to want and want and want.
I'm glad you push against this type of nonsense.
Thank You Very Much.
OMG I could listen to their "mow"s all day! They're so cute!
mow mow :D now i came to know about another wild cat! thanx BCR!
Hi, they are not classed as endangered yet, but are definitely threatened, like most big cats, loss of habitat, poaching etc..
I am planning on adopting a shelter cat soon! I've never heaerd of the Jungle Cat before though...it makes interesting sounds!
Thanks for the history lesson as well. Beautiful creatures....
Glad you enjoyed it
I live in Thailand and know a hilltribe girl that has a Jungle cat kitten that she is trying to raise domestically. These people are known to be some of the best hunters in the world but I don't think they have a good understanding of doing good for an animal. The girl is very sweet with it and it seems to love and trust her, but the others around like to tease and scare it. I am not convinced it will have a long life as they will likely eat it if it gets out of hand. At this point, it is am...
@usenetposts Of course they don't have to try...are hybrid cats and endangered species? No they are a man made animal, all the unwanted cats are disposed of they are not found loving homes because nobody wants them. We're well aware that domestic cats are a result of thousands of years of domestication, this doesn't mean that we need to try and domesticate every wild animal we can or to breed new hybrid animals to cater to the egos of certain people.
Beautiful cats! Handsome guy too.
good stuff. they also have cute lil' housecat like poop which makes them hard to track in the wild :)
those are cool cats!
2:27 It's like he popped out of a Warrior's Book I swear. They look so magnificent!
So sad! I wish humanity would wake up!
@BigCatRescue Hi: My husband got Rufus, our F2, from a breeder. I know this is something you guys don't like, but I didn't buy Rufus. I'm allergic to cats! And Rufus has an especially potent protein in his saliva that will give anyone the itchy eye. Not as bad as a siamese, but close enough. But I digress. As I write this, Rufus has nuzzeled my face and accepted hugs from me as a sign he wants to sleep in my lap. He does snore by the way.
They look so much like our domestic ticked-fur tabbies! Beautiful. And I agree, no one should own wild cats nor breed them, especially not for profit. I volunteer at a cat rescue shelter, and there are thousands of animals being destroyed each day in America because they are not getting adopt. Think adoption, not purchase.
YourAnjl
I doubt that people will get animals from shelters just because they don't buy a pet
YourAnjl That's not the only problem. Domestic cats were also originally wild animals that didn't need us. We domesticated them, made them dependent then have the nerve to turn around and kill them when they become a "burden." This pet system we have created backfired--IT is the real problem. Like you say, adopt only from shelters but to get to the root problem, spay/neuter, ban breeding and domestication of any more cats/dogs for a decade or 3. Too much death resulting from this system we made. Our systems should cause more life, not death.
+YourAnjl Do you have a job? Do you get paid? That's horrible you work for profit. How evil of you!! Thank God nobody else is paid to do something they actually enjoy...like all those actors that do movies for free and sports starts that never accept a dime from team owners.You volunteer in a shelter, but you believe animals are a fungible commodity that can be exchanged like a mass produced sponge or a can of paint?
Domestic cats can still live independently of humans.
T-Zay Cats are and always will be wild. Unlike domestic dogs, they can survive just fine without humans. It's sad people took them out of their homelands the middle east. They are related to the African wild cat.
I want one to guard my house.
I mean, my Russian Blue already has that responsibility, but imagine a burglar coming in and seeing a cat the size of a labrador staring him/her down.
I hope these cats don't become endangered any further! So beautiful and CUTE! :3
But definitely not a house cat! I bet they make Bengals seem pretty placid by comparison!
They were never endangered in the first place, they either misspoke or outright lied. Check their endangerment status online.
@@pnp072000 They are in specific areas, not the species as a whole but they're limited in certain areas (and declining in others).
I totally understand what you are saying about choosing a cat that needs a home. we have 2 rescue cats, but we have also have an F2 Chausie. He has a wonderful temperament for an Alpha. He has never hissed or tried to scratch any humans and he is completely devoted to one member of the household. He makes the mow/yow sound like in your video and he is social. I'm glad we have him.
thank you for encouraging the adoption of shelter cats. there are far too many homeless kitties in this country to be breeding cats that will be miserable indoors
@EnemyOfTheState1 Obviously it's not a matter of if the cat can kill someone (they can definitely do damage, especially if a child is involved) It's a matter of if it's right to do so...which it is not! The cats always suffer, they are wild animals!
The unfortunate thing is if a child is involved we choose our greedy self ass and not the animals animals who are defending themselves because we think they did “aggressively” aka offensive when we're not even in their diet unless their injured or something like that
I like that cat at 2:26 that has its tongue out. :)
Are they still increasingly endangered or has there been a miracle to help these beautiful cats?
Cheers:) this worked out for me thank you
Thanks for the comments :)
Excellent comment.
Yeah Tarzan doesn't like being filmed!
Thanks for watching, RAMBO is my favorite :)
Plz update more detail video regarding this cat . Because one male lives in backyard of my house. But I don't understand his life . I listened his voice since 18 years ago . But his camouflage is really excellent . But in your video I understand some parts of this Hunter.
Go to BigCatRescue. org and look for "Jungle Cats" under he menu item, "Big Cat Photos and Facts". There is more information post there.
We don't know yet, they announce the winner in december :)
@EnemyOfTheState1 It's a poor quality of life no matter what you do or provide for them in captivity, compared to being out in the wild with new places to explore each day.
HEY BCR::: glad to see you on my page... As always gorgeous cats... AlwAys informative about them...
...amazing with its spotted markings and white spots on the back of its ears. It look entirely different from these adults in your video. I have been looking for more info about how they are as adults but this is the best I have found. Its amazing how much its like a domestic cat other than its makings and its amazing strength. They found it in a mountain field and asume its mother was killed by hunters. I wish it luck and hope to get the chance to play with it again for years to come. Unlikely.
@humanpotential7 Glad you enjoyed the video, we don't currently have jaguars at BCR.
Aww! They're cute!
@beermilitia from an accredited zoo maybe, but introductions to the wild are very rarely done, what needs to be done is to conserve habitat, educate local people etc... if this can be done the cats will take care of themselves and bounce back no problem :)
Great job!
To see more about Jungle Cats go to BigCatRescue. org. The International Species Information Service lists 64 worldwide, with 9 being in the U.S. Status: CITES: Appendix II. IUCN: Not listed. Principal Threats: The greatest threat facing this cat is reclamation and destruction of natural wetlands. Also, they are killed by farmers because of their taste for domestic poultry, and sportsmen don’t like them because their prey base is the sportsman’s game species.
I genuinely don't like people who are hurting big, small, or domestic cats because that's my heart and soul that they’re hurting
@apharot More spotlights on the way! Please share our videos wherever you can the more exposure we get to our cause the better! Thanks!
I strongly disagree. Sanctuaries are filled to the brim with them because they did not make good pets.
It took many many many many generations for dogs to become domesticated animals. Big cats, are a different issue. Please take the time to really research the issues you brought up in your comment. If you do, and honestly do it with an open mind, I think you will see things differently. Go to BigCatRescue. org and look through the info there.
These hybrid cats don't exist in the wild.
Poor jungle cats. If only everybody is aware of more and more species are endangered and help the animals in anyway they can. If only the focus of development is balance between environment and buildings (or facilities, etc). May god and more helping hands help them to survive during this tough times.
thanks for the response :)
No, we mostly have cats but have 3 binturongs, a few civets and a cavy also :) Thanks for watching!
No we do not have any jaguars at the sanctuary, we rescued two in the past...
they are pretty cute, they look like little lions when they sit, really cute :P
We have to disagree.... hybrids shouldn't exist, it's so sad that people will choose to pay a lot of money for hybrid cats when their are literally thousands of cats euthanized each day in shelters that would make great pets. Hybrids come in many different forms, in our experience they still retain their wild instincts and do not make good pets, breeding them in the first place is wrong.
It's just the way they have adapted over the years, perhaps it's safer for them to hunt during the day when there is no competition etc...
