Big cat family are just like normal cats in many ways.
Big cat distinguishes large cat species from smaller ones. One definition of big cat includes only the four species of cat in the genus Panthera: the lion, tiger, leopard, and jaguar. Members of this genus are the only cats able to roar, and this is sometimes considered a distinguishing characteristic of big cats. A more expansive definition also includes the cheetah, snow leopard, clouded leopard, and cougar. The roaring cats may also be distinguished from the other big cats by referring to them as "great cats". Another distinction is the offspring of the great cats are called cubs while the offspring of the lesser big cats are referred to as kittens.
Three of the four largest cats are members of the genus Panthera; the cougar is the fourth largest cat, exceeding the leopard in size. Some medium-sized cats like the Eurasian lynx may weigh as much as 25 kg (55 lb), but they are not considered big cats.
Despite enormous differences in size, the various species of cat are amazingly similar in both structure and behavior. All cats are carnivores and efficient predators. Their range includes the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe; Australia and Antarctica have no indigenous species of cats.

Well, I imagine they'd be a handful if they got much older! I think that would be a great thing to be able to do though, to help like you do. How were you able to qualify to do that?
I think leopards are always recognizable as leopards by the way their eyes look. If you look at the eyes of an African leopard and then look at the eyes of a snow leopard, they have the same look to them, even if the bodies look a bit different otherwise.
The only adult big cat I'd risk being around without a fence would be a cheetah, because they're fairly small and have been domesticated before by people.

I did a animal Training certificate, and Wild life Rescue one and obtain the licence. And I belong to Delta Society Australia.
Anyone can do it as long as they get training, the local colleges teach it. O0

What and appreciating, God's WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL CREATION ISN'T A GOOD THING TO DO?
WHY DON'T YOU SAY THIS ABOUT THE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION BOARD??
IT ISN'T RIDICULOUS....YOU SHOULD THANK GOD FOR THE NATURE AROUND YOU, BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T BE ON THIS PLANET IF IT WASN'T FOR THE ENTIRE ECOSYSTEM.

Maybe not, its the spit that creates the allergic reaction, and leopards don't groom themselves like smaller cats.
