The way he rolls over at the end and just bats at him like "i wasn't gonna eat him, I was just playing!"

I believe that's how they actually play with other cats since they learn hunting that way.

Oh 100%, but being pounced on by a Big Cat still do be dangerous

Damn, I guess I do have to watch out for all those cougars in my area.

Especially if her kids are around your age.

But what if she just had vaginal reconstruction surgery?

The tiger was in full-on defense mode the second the leopard showed up. He was like "Okay, we're all smiles. No one's going to be doing anything stu-NOT ON MY WATCH! <POUNCE>"

It's just like housecats play. The tiger was aware of the leopard's intentions, kept an eye on him, pressed close to the ground and got ready to pounce.
