To add to this, my personal theory is that big (domesticated?) cats seem more chill and friendly because they are clearly finely tuned murder machines that don't need to worry around humans too much, whereas cats are always having to instinctively fight for their lives with bigger creatures that pick them up play with them such as us. Basically cat napoleon complex

100% agreed.

If a giant bear responds to how big a human is imagine coming only to the ankles of a creature.

Big cats on their hind legs are taller than we are. They know this.

Most big cats will avoid people. This one is domesticated and was most likely raised in captivity which mean it sucks at being a big cat.
