If you recall the kitten eating a melon video, you won’t be surprised at how much the really big cats at Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, Florida enjoy pumpkins and other gourds, both for playing with and for eating. -via Metafilter

    It's good to see that they're doing things to stimulate these animals. Still, I hate to see large predators in captivity.

    Well blame the idiots who think they can purchase these big cats to keep as pets and when they get big, realize that "uh oh" maybe it was a mistake.

    Anywho, very adorable and amazing video. So funny watching them play with the pumpkins. And amazing to see just how similar all cats, wild, big, domesticated are.

    Just as the black panther appeared in the video, rolling around with a pumpkin, my black cat threw herself to the floor wrestling with an unknown object. Cats is cats, no matter how big or otherwise dangerous!

    Notice the pumpkins weren't smiling.

    A gourd well gored!

    Ahhhh...pretty kitty. They seem cute and domesticated. But, it is kinda bothersome that a pumpkin is very close to the size of a human head... :-P

    Cool vid, but I'm confused.

    Is this a food or toy response, or both?

    Could I have been feeding my housecat pumpkin all these years?

    Kitties! I know some of those moves from watching my little ones with balls of various sizes. They get pretty creative!

    What is it about pumpkin that these cats enjoy playing/eating? Just curious, why not watermelon, cantaloupe, etc.
    Curiosity kills the cat, eh?

    That was pretty cute. I'd never seen a big cat playing like a little kitten.
