Slightly OT - PBS Nature "The Cheetah Orphans"
Watch out for it on your PBS station, but beware, there are some sad
moments in the story. But needless to say the Cheetah cubs are beautiful. -- Nik Simpson |

One of the most beautiful cats I've seen on TV was in a segment on Animal Planet - someone had tried to have their vet euthanize a caracul they'd kept in their home, caged, since kittenhood (because it was too agressive). Fortunately, the vet confiscated it and turned it over to the local humane society, who found a wild-animal rescue facility willing to take it. Poor thing could never be released into the wild, because it had been declawed, as well as neutered. Beautiful animal, with fantastic, simply gorgeous ears, but WHY will people try to make pets out of breeds of wild cats, then be surprised when, as they mature from "cute" kittens, they obey their natures? I'm not sure how "safe" some of the domestic variety would be, were they the size of their tiger cousins! (Remember the Chinese proverb: "God made Cat so Man could pat a Tiger.") |

(Remember the Chinese proverb: "God made Cat so Man could pat a Tiger.") I like that saying! Of our 7, here's how I would trust them if they were tiger-size, in descending order: Fez - no real danger, he's a sweetie-pie Rufous - the only danger would be his tongue, as the boy has a fascination with my fingers Issa - can get a bit aggressive when you're petting his tummy Basho - would be hard to breathe with a tiger on my chest Luna - she *loves* kneading, that would certainly hurt Maya - she would destroy all our window dressings Xoxo - sharp claws, don't take sh*t from nobody! How about your tribe? Would you trust them if they were tiger-sized? -- Victor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he Email me he |

How about your tribe? Would you trust them if they were tiger-sized? Good question, Victor! Hmm, let's see. Caliban - would not trust him at all. He sometimes bites (though not as hard as he did when he was younger and he uses his claws when he gets annoyed. Also, he is always hungry... Mir - plays very gently, but does use her claws when climbing me. But if she was tiger-sized, she wouldn't need to use me as her personal stepladder, so might be safe. She never bites, not even in play. I think I could trust her. Of course, it might get a bit rough when she walks all over me in bed while kneading me. :P -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |
