Tips On How To Pet A Tiger

By Alta Alexander


Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder as the saying goes so does it apply to tigers, many are attracted to the sheer beauty of this striped, magnified house cat. Indeed the tiger is beautiful, its cubs are so innocent that almost all parties over look its sheer power to be in the future that they decide to tame and pet a tiger which can be either a disaster in making or a blessing in disguise depending on how they handle it.

The tiger is a very intelligent animal and its more intelligent than both the domestic cat and dog which are our common pets. Its intelligence tends to work to its own advantage in nature and if this intelligence is enhanced and taped at an early age the big cats can be trained to follow commands just like all the other domestic pets we commonly know but with a greater amount of strength.

Tigers are known to form excellent service guard animal just like the dog but on a whole new different perspective without the constant barking but with high precision protection. These they achieve through their instinct which is natured toward being highly territorial. They guard their territories with so much vigor that in case any animal or unknown individual crosses into the territory they attack.

When they have been taken in as pets they never lose their killer instinct since this instinct is something that they were born with and they cannot change it instead they only minimize it since they do not have to use it to hunt or survive because their needs have been catered for in captivity.

By nature tigers are loners, they do not really need companions. This loner trait is not only observed in the wild but also when the tiger has been brought in as a pet; this is seen when another animal is brought in for them as company. They fight and eventually kills them and at times they even kill animals they once played with while they were little. Tigers only come into contact with other tigers only when mating or fighting for territory.

Tigers are very expensive animals to maintain since they do not feed on regular cat food and are also known to down a whole cow in two sittings. This makes it really hard for the owners to maintain it since they also have to purchase supplements for it so that its health is at its peak.

Tigers are known to very choosy when it comes to trusting an individual; in their lifetime they tend to trust one or two individuals who feed them and in cases where the trusted persons are unavailable the pet tigers have a tendency of waiting till the trusted person comes in order to eat the food served by the individual or in case they do not show up they are known to starve to death.

In case they are put in as pets then later on in its life it is sent back to the wild while it was not taught to hunt they are known to hunt humans since they form an easy target. This is naturally what animals do in order to survive which in this case does not need training but just their instinct.
