large predator. But, it's not for that woman. She knows better than the zoo staff. Kitty wouldn't hurt her. She LOVES kitties.

I love kitties, too. I've had many of them. Even when they're kittens, they have claws that hurt when they get used. As kittens grow, they learn to moderate the use of their claws - mostly. They learn from our reactions when kitty claws draw blood. But, even as adult cats, it's easy to do something the cat doesn't like, like tickle its belly too long. Then, the claws come out again and draw blood. Humans are slow to learn from cats, it seems. Kitties keep have to teach humans about cats.

But big cats in zoos don't learn that stuff. They don't need to, because the zoo puts up barriers to keep stupid humans from annoying them too much and getting clawed. Big kitties, though, are just like small pet kitties. Mess with them too much, and you'll bleed.

Barriers. They're there for a reason. They're there to keep stupid humans who LOVE kitties from getting hurt. But humans are stupid and never think the barriers are for them, because, see, they LOVE cats.
