So you have always wanted to own a tiger. Let's take a closer
look at what it is like owning an exotic cat as a pet. You believe that if you
raise it right with kindness and training from infancy that it will make a great
pet. Let's take a closer look at that.
Myth Meets Reality
Is this True? If I get it as a bottle fed baby before
its eyes are open it will love me as its mother and will always love me and
remain bonded with me. NO, That is FALSE!!
A wild animal is a wild animal is a wild animal ALWAYS.
They do NOT remain helpless, cute cuddly babies very long.
As they grow up their natural wild instincts kick in.
Owning An Exotic Cat
Exotic cats ARE carnivores. You can NOT remove the
carnivore from the carnivore no matter how you raise it.
Your other pets or your child could and very likely will be
mauled, injured, and often even killed by your "pet" exotic cat.
Exotic cats NEED LOTS of fresh meat for their bones to grow
properly. You can NOT feed them craps and dog food.
Exotic cats are great escape artists. Structures to keep
them and your family and neighbors safe are expensive to build and maintain.
Finding and Affording a vet to care for your exotic is not so
easy. Then IF you find one, you must have special transportation to
safely get your exotic pet to and from the vet.
Your neighbors will NOT be happy about have a carnivore living
next door. They will be afraid (rightfully so) to let their children play with
yours.
Curious spectators will show up on your property all hours of
the day and night, even sneaking in. Sometimes this is to see and sometimes it
is to harm the animal. This creates so many safety hazards and liability
issues, and legal nightmares I cannot even begin to list them.
You cannot 'potty train' or litter train an exotic cat. Tigers
and lions do not use litter boxes. They spray literally BUCKET loads or really
smelly urine ALL over your home, yard and even you. IT STINKS!! REALLY
STINKS!! Your house and your yard will truly be offensive. The old saying you
can smell it a mile away... You got it YOUR place will be the stinky place.
