The only "injury" sustained by one of my sons by a very lively little cub was that he seemed to like my son's leg - maybe the salt? He held his leg with his front paws (claws sheathed) and continually licked his leg for about five minutes - his rough tongue took the hairs off my son's leg!
And re the lion - have you bought the DVD - Christian the Lion at World's End? It's a bit dated but, apart from the drippy music and the "groovy" clothes (lol), it is really worth watching :)
I have patted a lion cub before but really hoping to pat or hold a tiger cub at Mara River - I am a huge "cat person" (aka "crazy cat lady") and will certainly have something to say if I see any sign that they are less than well treated.
