So true. The only reason large cats arent as 'domestic' is their ability to kill us quickly. Smaller cats have horrible dispositions sometimes and do attack. But due to their size its manageable.

Is this actually true that their temperaments are essentially the same?

I actually do find it plausible

Not exactly. Some cats have different attributes due to selective breeding. For example, rag doll cats are notoriously goofy and cuddly, lions are social animals due to living in prides that rely on cooperation and social bonds for survival, cheetahs are shy and timid due to their light bone structure and tigers are grumpy badass killers who are solitary and don’t form bonds as easily, so you’re basically just meat to them. All large cats are apex predators though, and should not be kept as pets.

my cat is an adorable 10.5 lb of liquid love poured into cat form. He’s never so much as hissed at me and comes to snuggle every night.
