Did anyone lose this beautiful tabby?

Gotta have DEEP pockets to keep them fed!

I don't see the value of keeping such animals as pets. It's not like a few years of close human contact is going to erase centuries of wildness. I would NEVER trust an animal like this. There are good reasons we as a species have never domesticated wild cats of this size.

cats fascinate me, but owning the big ones is like playing with a loaded gun

They're very adaptable.
I've seen tracks from them here in Iowa and caught them on trail cameras

I'm sure they are adaptable, when their environment changes they adapt or die. But that doesn't mean they loose any of the wild spirit.

Back about 34 years ago.. My wife and I were at the fairgrounds at Spokane Washington.. a young family had a Tiger Cub.. they said the age was 4 weeks old.. damn it was not small for anything that age.. playful.. but still at lot to handle.. it was cool to see.. but I dont think it would of been a long time pet for them at all..
