The cheetah and the puma/cougar are way more closely related to domestic cats than they are to the big cats of the panthera family (the roaring big cats).

They migt be tall cats, but they are no big cats.

Then which is the littlest roaring cat?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I believe it is the Bobcat

Thanks for sharing that! I had no idea that bobcats can roar.

Honestly neither did I. Went searching, at first I thought it might be the Arab Leopard since they're pretty small, but then I saw this video.

Didn't you watch Lion King? It's Simba.

Thus far a rather uninspiring thing.

Lions seem more similar to dogs than to house cats.
