Just curious.

Haha! I never really thought about that, but they probably would. I think I may have seen a white tiger lean into a nice stroke on Animal Planet once (there was a lady who raised them or something). So, if a tiger does, why wouldn't a lion?
I know they wouldn't purr though, it's a scientific fact: any cat that can roar cannot purr (and vice-versa). It's either one or the other. That's why you never hear cheetahs roar --they're purrers. Cool, huh? Just a little animal trivia for you. :-)

I think that this is one of those questions we'll never know the answer to. I'd love to know. Its kinda hard to imagine a lion with his giant butt in the air, purring. LOL

We need a volunteer from our audience to go try it and come back and tell us about it. :-) Come on -- it's in the interest of science! We'll give you a dollar!
Seriously, probably so. They're cats, and may be assumed to have similar nerve structures and physiology. They're just lots, LOTS bigger.

You can ask a person who has lion as pet. I wouldn't bother petting a lion, it has some giant teeth who knows if they brush them or not..:)

I'm with most others, likely isn't anyone who tried and lived to tell about it...maybe you could write your Masters on this subject.

I think they do. But lions as any other wild animal should remain "wild" and should not be bothered.

No. There mouth opens and bites off your hand and everything else attached to it...

My friend was curious and tried it. That's why we call him Lefty.

I would think so since they are cats.
