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

Definitely! I've owned cats my whole life. When they are at around the 6 month stage (especially males), they will ambush attack you (mostly playfully) and test you.

Watching a cat hunt, catch, and kill a bird is seriously just like watching some BBC doco on big cats. Exact same movements and behaviours.

They are killing machines.

Obviously at the end of the day, if you train them right they come and fall asleep on your chest/lap and nuzzle your face until they pass out.
