An abandoned Siberian tiger cub is "cared" by a goat at the Jiufeng Forest Zoo in Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei Province, Nov. 14, 2010. It is estimated that there are merely 50-60 wild tigers surviving in China. More tigers are artificially bred in captivity. The wildness of those tigers raised in captivity has degenerated, thus leading to difficulties for their natural mating and wild living. They have become too familiar with humans and lost their natural wildness. (Xinhua/Zhou Guoqiang)

Wonderfull pictures, of a cat who is amazing regarness of what you else is saying about it...

The last picture looked like my own cat, not a tiger, once a nabours dog was inside my home, he wanted to play with a few kittens I had.. The mother was not amused about the idea, and was ready to fight for he life.. The poor dog, a german cheafer was running faster out, than he came in, becouse of the little mother, who more or less flying a fully 10cm over my floor...

He never got in after that, just the smell of the cat inside was enough for the big dog;)

Yea, my cat was ready to fend for the life of her tree smal kittens... They scatered all over the place inside my home, to hide, but o dear the mother was pissed off... Only time I really saw her like that... She was a gentle cat, who was rather found of me for some reason.. First time I saw her, he was with a friend of a friend, I was feeling pitty for her, she was not in a good home at all, and she conected to me at once.. And then a friend of me got the cat, or more or less taken the cat from the other who was not treating her well.. And then finaly she somehow adopted me, and was moving into me.. The cat, ny my friend.

After the poor dog was out, and peace was starting to fall down in home, the kittens get out of the hiding places, and mom was making her move to calm everything down again.. And peace was at hand..

Another dog, who was small, but for some reason really never understood what cats really was, (he was maybe not the smartest dog in town, but a really friendly one who got along with allmoust everyone) wanted to play with one of my kittens once.. He got a nasty surpice when the then 8 week cat blow herself up to a ballon.. He wanted just to play, not attac as he belived them to be playmates;)It was a couple of days after I first let them out of house, to se what the world was all about, you bet they was suprised, over how BIG the world really was. But 4 cats, and a nasty allergy was killing me, so i had to give her up.. But at least I managed to give all 4 of them decent homes, even that it was a sad day when it was quit in home, no kitten, not cat who was there... I have some pictures, who I look at sometimes, I still miss them dearly, but I know it was for the best:cry:

Oh well, I have the memories, and a lot of fun storries to tell about the mishefs they did.. If I was not awaking early one, they managed to get into my bedrom, and bite my toe.. It was the mastermind of the grand old lady on the other side of the door, who commanded her troops.. Belive me, she had the full suport and command of her troops. And she was also smart to get me into the "paretning thingy". In the day she had a few hour that she was out of her own.. Then she got home again, and was a nice mom.. In the evning/night she got out, and let me with the responsibilites of 3 kittens of the rampage to ca 1-2 in the morning.. Somethimes she got a mice or two, more or less half death, so they could learn the master of kill. The only male in the family was the boss then, and he was good at hunting skills, even it looked not nice.
The she get her command back and was a nice mom to ca 10 in the morning.. Then it was time for the troops to bug the door master (me) and get up and out so they could go to "school" and learn something with their mom.. And then when the school was out for the day, it was time for some paretning from my point of wiew.. She was a smart cat who know to trust me, she know I would not do the kitten any harm.

It was tree kitten in the litter, who survived, One was a male cat, a beatifull cat who defently had some siameser in it, and two girs who was, more or less as norwgian house cats are. They could be really nice cats, but also was bullies, who often was nasty with their little brother, who was little slow on his feet when little. But he got his revange in the end.. One of them was nasty with him, and he got enough.. And was telling cleary who was really in charge.. After that they was nice friends, and the two girs was not bulling to mutch to him.. The two girls was easy independed, compared to their brother, who loved to be near his mother, and was a mams boy I guess.. When he really wanted to have comfort, or was little afraid of the world, he would go to his mother and lie with her, and sleep... And she was a nice mom, sho why not. If I should have keept one of the litter, I would have keept him, he had a gentle soul, who could be damaged easy if not given the right familiy.. I got all 4 of them to good homes, but I was really carefull with the boy, as I felt it to be my responsibility to do that.
