It ain't nothing like having a big dog.
People will often make the mis-assumption that the bigger animal trumps the smaller.
Even a big "small cat" will take the piss out of a much larger dog, and any cat over 40-50 pounds will take the piss out of you, too, if it is of a mind to do so.
It can be done, but big cats are an entirely different proposition than most people are aware-I had a friend who had a "small" tiger; a couple of years old?
250 lbs or so.
Unbelievable: Gentle (lucky, there) and playful, but if he decides to "tear up the house", he will, and you won't stop him without a big gun.
I can't even begin to tell you how strong he was.
Such an animal does anything it wants, any time it wants.
Think about that for a bit.
Y'know, I love cats-absolutely bonkers over them-but I don't ever want a pet that could kill me with one swipe of it's paw; even de-clawed, it could snap your neck like a twig.
Sorry if you're already aware of this stuff, but many never even think. ;) [/b]
