you guys want me to believe that none of you would have loved to have a tiger as a pet?
you broke my heart, really! -
Actually, I would love to have a big old pussy cat! I love kitties. Even big tiger kitties! -
Edited to remove negative opinion about keeping endangered wildlife as exotic pets.
No, I do not fantasize about keeping tigers or any other large mammals.-
I don't think it is a realistic question--just a fantasy one. Of course, I would never want or even be able to keep a tiger captive--but the thought of riding around the woods on the back of a tiger is a fun thought!
-
oh, Melinda...you need to look up the Hindu goddess Durga!! -
yes its a fantasy question, because keeping them in cities will be inhumane torture on them.
-
-
No, never really fantasized about that.
I have fancied flying on the back of a giant goose, but that is a different story.-
fabulous, pretty tempting.

My husband suggests that before you take on a pet tiger or two, get yourself a Yorkshire Terrier puppy and take note of the tooth-inflicted dents and bruises you get as a result. He has no interest in a tiger, the Yorkie, which is now almost 7 months old, is ferocious enough for him!

i think your husband is really smart.

In pure fantasy land, sure it would be cool to have a pet tiger. in reality I think holding a wild animal captive for your own amusement is pretty mean and I think the danger of being killed or wounded far outweighs any positives that could come as a result of havign a pet tiger.
If you want a pet tiger, go work here: www.dreamworld.com.au/content/drw_2008_standard.asp?name=TigerIsland-
do they have vacancy?

Jafabrit,
I had never seen that and its really an amazing video.
Thanks so much for the link. -
i have seen bornfree and those lion cubs were so sweet ..

I'd like to have a pet elephant. He'd provide transportation, and any burglar who dared enter my property would get the shock of his life.
-
you bet.

I am a vegetarian. So I guess the pussy won't like it at my place.
Hard luck.-
i believe so too.

I would love to have a wolf or a cheetah, but a tiger, lion, or cougar might be too unwieldy. You can actually tame a cheetah pretty easilly (Harold & Kumar jokes aside) and it was common in Ancient Persia to keep them. They only stopped because they cost so much to feed and required so much space to be comfortable, but for someone living out on a cattle ranch it might be manageable. Just give him an allowance of the cattle hide.-
ha ha, your cattles will run away. they wont be waiting for him to eat them.
-
He can run too.

My three cats are enough for me-
blessed are souls who are easily pleased.
-
-
I would not want one. Number one, they're dangerous, and number 2, they should be in the wild with their own kind.-
absolutely, what if you can live in jungle with them, they will be free to come and go to you?
-
-
Nope. I like my tiny little kitties. -

I've always wanted a Tiger as a pet. I'm just scared that after awhile I'll start to look like a walking meal to it -
you reminded me of "goldrush" by charlie chaplin.

I personally would love to own my own SnowLeopard and have dreamed about playing with them and even sharing a cave with them. I think they are one of the most beautiful creatures on this earth and I have a few large paintings of them in my home.
I see them as not only being pleasing to the eyes and soft to the touch, but are mighty and powerful and full of strength.
So yes, I would love to raise one of my own and would if I had the means to do so and I wouldn't feel guilty about it either.-
they are really beautiful. but i love all big cats, they are so majestic and graceful..

I would also love to have some exotic mammal as an addition to the family. But I guess I will have to do with my dream of a pitch black doberman called Dante. Sigh.-
In the index it says I posted this 3 hours ago. At least for me, anyone else seeing this?
-
you are so adjusting.

tigers are my favourite too.

I have a friend who has two bangle tigers. Also another friend who had a panther which had been rescued. However, someone broke into their home and let the cat out. It got into something while missing, and fell ill. When they took it to the vet, they took the cat away from them.-
thats sad
-
I'm wrong, it's not bangle tiger, but they run around 50lbs, whatever they are.
-
let me know when you know.
