there is that special breed of cat they sell in the US.. about the size of a labrador, but looks like a house cat...

Frankly, i don't think a tiger is more agressive then a house cat, it just is bigger and so are the consequences... little bit of play and mischief is not a problem from my 2 cats, i have claw marks all the time... but i'm sure it would be if they were the size of a tiger...

One saw a documentary , of a couple that raised a lion in some kind of shelter, lion got released in the wild, lived wild...

Then the couple went back to visit him, and he looked from a distance, came running.... and then he just put his front paws on the man's shoulder, and started licking him all over... beautiful to see...

found it on youtube

It's pretty much what Boris does when i come home in the evening... except Boris weighs about 4-5 kilo, this one probably weighs 150 kg :D

It is a cat, not a dog. A "cooped up" cat primary means of distruction during the day is shedding where they sleep.

My ex-wife, shortly after we adopted a kitten, called me all worried.

"The cat is sick"

My first thoughts were, we'll, we can get another one much chearper than fixing this one.

"What's wrong?"

"It's sleeping all the time."

"Yeah, but what's wrong with the cat?"

"It keeps sleeping. You know, when a child is sick, they sleep a lot."

"Uh. That is what cats do. They sleep. All day long. except when they are eating or pooping or annoying you."

"You're sure it's not sick?"

"I'm sure!"
