    Mate, your videos are second to none. And watching you meet those animals on the level you do- I know it must be ultra tiring to love them that deeply, but that's what it takes to know an animal like that. Today we buried our boy Leo, born December 01, he was with us our whole marriage. The bond was exquisite. On my last day with him we layed together in the sun/ yesterday, and he leaned up to me and rubbed noses with me both directions 4 times. So 8 kisses.we both held his hand as he left us at 530 am today. Old age took him. He did not suffer. He was a blue Burmese, but was very much like a big cat in a few ways. God Bless Jake & Rebecca Australia

    I feel like they all see Kevin as their own packs' leader, so he has the "permission" to smell like hyenas, leopards, human babies or tuna fish, and smell like having been eating any of them for what they are concerned. ;P He's the provider, the boss, he's not questionable, and I'm pretty certain they love him very much, too, for being the provider and because they can easily pick up on how much Kevin loves them too.

    You are on the right track but not fully there. He isn't the leader. This is proven because bobcat is the leader, hence testosterone. When he plays with them, he falls on his back every time. It's something else. I posted a theory, me know your thoughts.

THAT made me see that truly you are accepted by the cats in your care.

    I was just about to mention Bobcats black. At first, it looked like he had a black marshmallow on his tail, lol. And she just seems to wait until you aren't expecting her! Gabby also looked a bit disgruntled that she didn't get to kill a tire, lol. My cats used to hiss at me if I smelled of another cat. My dog does pout, not that I cheated with another dog, that excites him, but if I go shopping without him, oh man, he'll come, smell me and pointedly turn his back and sit. Then he peeks to see if I noticed him! They are beautiful, Kevin, and every bit as 'sentient' as we are. I so love what you're doing. 👍😘🥰✌😷🎃

Kevin is certainly a special person and I truly admire his mission in life. I'm getting rather old, but I would really like to visit his facility some day. Keep up the great work, Kevin.

    It's easy to be impressed by anyone who can handle big cats in person but it's exceedingly rare that the person handling them is so understanding and kind-hearted like Kevin. Often times if you ever see videos of people handling big cats/bears/other large predatory animals, they've been declawed or treated inhumanely, OR the caretaker does not respect the animal enough to know the body language and is rolling the dice on his life. Kevin is a real treasure.

    Wow, can't believe Gabby behaved herself so well. She didn't even jump on you once. Not a single..... NO Gabby! Beautiful animals and the bonds you have with the different types. They all most just know you are that special person in their lives and part of their family but also think you are just a little out there because you will hang with those other types. Both Bobcat and Gabby were more mild in attitude today, no roaring from Bobcat showing who is the boss to the other lions besides hyenas besides Gabby being so tame. Love Fridays and I always look forward to your videos.

I always find it funny. They're smart enough to know you're still theirs, I think 💕
