Tigers
Created | Updated Apr 9, 2002
Tigers are large stripey cats, though not nearly as good pets as their smaller
feline cousins. The problem is that they eat lots of meat, and don't really
care if that meat walks and is you! Also in common with the domestic cat, they
sleep a lot. Especially the ones in zoos and safari parks, which tend to sleep
so much that you might wonder if they're stuffed - which they probably are.
Despite their unsuitability for domestic life, some tigers are kept in houses,
but the majority of these have been "rendered harmless" by being made into rugs or
having their heads cut of and mounted on wooden plaques which are then hung on the wall.
Another unsuitable place to keep a tiger is in a petrol tank, although a major
petrol company mounted an advertising campaign to the contrary.
