Leopard Print Everything.

Why is it that our culture is obsessed with animalistic qualities, when at the same time we are a culture of domination over all other species? Why is it that when a women dressed in leopard print it is to be sexy and strong, when at the same time this is a species that, while powerful, we as a culture are constantly trying to prove our power over?
Leopards are the smallest of the "big cats", is that what makes them more attractive? Or is it more of a general obsession with cats in general that our culture has...? Definitely a possibility. My cat's breed is 'oriental', but she was bred to look like a leopard, and if it wasn't for her big belly (and small stature) she might. But why is that such an important thing to note in our society?
Why are we all so obsessed with cats?!
