  Being able to tame jaguars and cougars and leopards would be cool since you already have the hyena/artic wolf/wolf options. You can have them as statistically better wolves with a higher bait cost (prime meat? 10 of it or so? something worthy to attract a jaguar or cougar). You can have the same branching paths as most wolves do, with specialties being nearby players gain the highlighting nearby animals ability with 3 levels for small/med/large. Another for something like 'big housecat' for coziness buffs. Some downsides for being statistically better wolves could be higher hunger consumption, the much higher bait cost, and not as many utility tools like marking/bleeding/slowness so you don't completely replace wolves as an option and early game companion. Maybe lower perceived threat while stealthing with one of them nearby, Just enough to make them stand out from companion's like wolves without replacing them with their own downsides. (unless you want a pack of cats instead of dogs)

  Agreed! I love animals of all kinds (bugs not included), and the hyenas are great, but I am more of a cat person. I would LOVE to tame a jaguar, cougar, or leopard! Or several :)

  We have wolves and hyenas, it would be awesome to have some wild cats as well (same taming method as the wolf probably). There's also the baby bears which could perhaps be tamed as a hybrid of the moa taming and the wolf taming: (kill the parent, and get the baby caught in a snare trap).
  The wildlife in this game is gorgeous and it would be wonderful to have some pet ones.

  I'm beginning to suspect RW dislikes cats so much we will have flying dinosaur mounts before we can tame a jaguar or cougar. We already have the flightless birds. Really hoping you will give the big cats some love.
  
  And unrelated but hoping for it, some decorative items for the house cats. It feels weird just having them walk around in circles and not much else. Some kind of surface for them to jump on and sleep on would be amazing.
