When thinking of cats, of all sizes, I'm constantly reminded of one of John
Wayne's lines, from "True Grit": 'Cats don't belong to nobody. They just
live with you and....'.
One of my garage cats, Mini, was a 'drop-off' and arrived at about 9 mos.
age, w/two kittens in tow. She's become a very affectionate, loving cat.
BUT, pick her up and get her into a new or unfamiliar situation and she gets
panicky and can become very aggressive. Takes our vet and two assistants to
give her injections/take her temp, with Mini screaming, growling and clawing
the whole time. And she only weighs about 6 lbs. I can understand how that
tiger freaked out. Cats are creatures of habit and can become very
aggressive when confronted with something different/out of the ordinary.
And, like The Duke said, they don't belong to NOBODY.

Nah! Nothing funny about this at all and
yes, they sure were a class act.
It's amazing.....you spend all that time caring and getting close to
those big cats,
taking good care of them and still....I
mean you're obviously their good buddy
over time and yet.....
