Here kitty!

Just thought I'd share some photos of a white tiger cub my niece in the UAE has hand reared at her veterinary clinic.
What an experience handling this animal before it got too big. It's now been moved to an outdoor wild animal sanctuary in Al Ain.

Wow.

Stunning.

Cute cat.
When it grows up it will be very cuddly.

Hi,
Thats a stunning looking tiger - glad it’s now in an appropriate home!
It’s pretty surreal living in this part of the world.
We live in a part of Abu Dhabi called Khalifa City - an area of mainly large independent villas and small villa compounds.
Many of the larger villa owners appear to have some quite exotic pets!
I remember reading this story one morning in our local paper!

Lion cub roams streets of Khalifa City A

Several residents earlier this week reported a lion cub frolicking in the driveway and on the streets in front of a villa in Khalifa City A.

I wonder what cycle they use to keep it so clean and fluffy

Herman Goering famously kept tigers and other exotic animals as family pets ; there are movie clips of him .

Ah , lions they were . Nonsense that accumulates in the back of my mind

Reminds me of an occasion when at our villa on Koh Samui In the Gulf of Thailand. Whilst chatting to a Belgian surgeon who was renting the villa next door he mentioned a friend living nearby who he said “has a tiger”.

Intrigued by this, particularly in view of the friend being fairly close, we asked a few questions. He looked a bit puzzled by our line of questioning but went on to tell us that the tiger was free to go wherever she wanted and even ate the same food. Our jaws dropped when he confirmed that they even slept together!

A few more questions followed before we realised that with our neighbourly surgeon‘s Belgian accent he wasn’t actually talking about a tiger, he was saying “Thai girl”!

I wonder what that nazi w@nker fed his tigers with?

Back in the Roman days they had gladiator games and the looser was eaten by savage animals.
Could this also have happen when Goering had his cats?
Perhaps Goering back then was the sponsor for MMA = mixed martial animals

I bet Pussy Galore is a well mannered she-cat if it is a she?

By the way what does Pussy Galore stand for besides being the name of one of the characters in Goldfinger?
Pussy Galore was a cool and foxy lady who loved to munch furburger.
Yum yum yum

Ah , a potentially even more dangerous species

It's a small world Steve. My sister has lived in Khalifa city since her husband built a villa there back in 2008. I visit most years.
It's not a bad place to live if you can stand the heat.

Would love to meet up with fellow petrolhead

Many years ago we had a 13 week tiger club into my veterinary surgery after its twin had died in the days when circuses had wild animals. I remember how loud it was for all its size and age all those years ago.
