Reply #10: She's domestic, right? Not a lion or puma or something?

True story:

I was interviewing a doctor once, and she noticed my scratched hands (doctors tend to be observant). She said "Is that from your cat? You're lucky you're not the Big Cat keeper at the zoo."

Uh, OK.

"...because one of my patients took off her shirt for an exam once, and she had scars across her whole chest, and I asked where she got them, and she said 'oh, that's just one of the cats getting friendly' and it turned out she was a zookeeper here in the city."

Went back to my hotel that night and looked up that city, and damned if they didn't have one of the largest Big Cat zoo holdings in the country. So maybe the doctor wasn't messing with me.
