One of the things I look forward to in Heaven is being with the tame big cats and petting them.
I am a major cat-o-phile and that tiger is a magnificent creation. Thanks for sharing the picture.

with all due respect, these things are NOT
warm and cuddly with anything but their own cubs, guy near me raised one, a bengal i think, got bigger, bigger, bigger then broke out of his cage one night for the helluv it and went out for a walkabout. next morning everyone within about 2 miles woke up to what looked like an isis strike on their stock. my stepfather alone lost 25 goats literally torn to shreds. mostly just pieces. In total , I think the loss was the goats, couple of horses, a few dogs, AND 8 or nine cows &calves. None eaten, just killed for fun, and "tasted". one thing for sure, whatever the owner was feeding him was definitely HIGH energy.

These animals were not created to be warm and cuddly to us. They were not designed to be raised by us. They were engineered to be the ultimate land predators, a task which they perform admirably. Once man intervenes, their behavior is changed from the natural, for the worse. It's like the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle of the jungle. Observation changes the results.

Seer, fastdoc, ... I was thinking, oh how nice to pet that sleeping cheek, then in an instant, that 2 inch canine sunk into and latched on to your lower arm and being tossed around like a ragdoll. Not a very nice ending.

That's the video that I was thinking of! I cried the first time I saw it, and this time as well. For me, it's like a glimpse behind the curtain of heaven. Also fascinating is that his "wife" also was affectionate towards the men. There is no reason to expect that would ever happen. She is a totally wild animal. Perhaps love is contagious.
