Aren't tigers such gorgeous animals?! Wouldn't it be so awesome to be able to pet and cuddle one?

Yeah....I'm bored. lol





But, gosh ....they really are exotic and beautiful! So, are lions.....actually, most of the large cats are.





Thanks for your answers....:)

Reply:I've wanted a wild cat since I was a kid. Now as an adult I have the means to gain one, but don't want to harm one, have it illegal, etc.





Here is what I have came up with. Guy cross breads Margay's (wild cat) with a pure bread domestic cat, then recross breads it again. You end up with a cat the size of the wild cat, the markings of the wild cat, but the attitude and all of a house cat. The one I want is a " Safari ", its a Margay and Bengal house cat mix....such beautiful cats.

Reply:Yes, they are gorgeous animals. But I would prefer to admire them from afar. I would not want to pet and cuddle one. They tend to enjoy killing and eating warm blooded, tender, tasty mammals -- including people -- at every opportunity.
Reply:Yeah they are cute and cuddable when they are young kittens, but when they are bigger they are great looking cats with a bigger bite.
Reply:Well, they are awesome, and not just because they're the mascot of AUBURN UNIVERSITY. But that is one of the best reasons.
Reply:I have always loved cats - parents got a wild kitten when I was a baby. We used to pounce on each other. We had a picture of me as a baby cryingwith scratches all over my body, my parents said immdeiately after the picture I crawled back to Gatito and pounced on him.





My parents said that if I saw a tiger, I would go and hug it and it would eat me and I would die happy.





Now that I'm an adult, I'll just cuddle with a man who's a tiger in bed.





Much safer.

Reply:One of our neighbors owned a tiger as a pet. Really. I wouldn't have wanted to cuddle with it.
Reply:You are right...The other day I was watching Animal Planet and I saw large cats...Like Lions, Tigers, and Leopards/Cheetahs...And I was wondering How cute and exotic they looked...So what will it be like to touch one and have it as a pet!!!


Then after that I went to the zoo because I love to see them, but I wish they were freeeeeeeeeeee............

Reply:It's my dream to have a pet otter, they rox. But, while you can't have a tiger, there is a cat that they are breeding that looks like a tiger. They are currently very expensive, but I have seen pictures and they look really cool. They are called Toygers, and they are very cute. They currently retail from $800-$4000. Check out the link for an article and a picture.
Reply:I was at a flea market last weekend, and this guy had 2 as


pets. He kept them in a 850 sq ft. cage in his back yard.


He takes them to flea markets so people can have their picture taken with the large cats. He said the money he makes on the photos helps with the food bill of the cats.


He said they eat 650 lbs of meat per month.
