Indeed, it is rare for a big cat that was raised with a dog to attack the animal it was raised with. However, it is more likely for a big cat to attack a human than an animal it has been raised alongside.
Wild animals, by nature, are unpredictable. They possess inherent wild instincts that fully manifest once they reach maturity. While spaying or neutering and declawing may reduce their level of danger, their behavior remains unpredictable from that point forward.
Personally, I disagree with the notion of attempting to domesticate wild animals as pets. Such endeavors often result in unfavorable outcomes, potentially leading to the animal being euthanized or confined to a zoo. While I understand the appeal, I recognize that it is highly unrealistic to expect a wild animal to exhibit the same behavior as a domesticated one.
