    Where can I get some of that fang paste?

    I think the darts might be more fun than the fang paste.

    Well I certainly hope they finished brushing and flossing the lion before he woke up.

    I wouldn’t work with lions for a million bucks, they are too unpredictable. Give me tigers any day!

    I worked with three tigers when I was working in a carnival motordrome show. They were so tame that I would sleep in the cage with them at night, and they were just big friendly kitties. Picture an orange Maine Coon ten times its normal size.

    When the show folded I took the cats home and lived with them for seventeen years. They weren’t “untill I get tired of them,” cats, nor ’Untill I cant handle their food bill," cats or ’Until their first vet bill" cats. They were forever cats.

    How did Monty get a job at the Zoo? And with his talents and qualifications, shouldn’t he be shoveling elephant poo instead of playing with lions?

    You must have had a massive cat-flap in the back door. Weren’t you ever worried that thieves would get i…- oh, no I suppose you weren’t.

    What, Monty now works at the zoo? And Moonie is still at the museum. I weep for the citizens of their community, who deserve better….
    Nice kitty. Sleepy kitty. Big ball of fur.
    Tranqued kitty. Toothy kitty. Purr, purr, roar!

    I admit, I am completely jealous, and very impressed!

    I only had one dope crazy enough to break into my house. I had a sign at the front door that said “Beware of The Cats” but it had a picture of a sand tabby and a calico on it. He spent the next six hours cowering on the top of my wardrobe cabinet with wet and soiled pants, waiting for me to return from work. When the cops came, the first pair lost all signs of reserve and rolled on the floor laughing. They called in other cops and everyone had fun with the situation, petted the kitties and finally got the poor fool off the wardrobe, who immediately soiled and wet his pants again when Simba jumped to the top of the wardrobe.

    As to the cat flap, it was a normal size door with a spring leading to my back porch and a screened cat play area about 36-40 feet square that was enclosed in 12’ high cyclone cyclone fence. It had a 9’ square sand box for necessity.

    Actually they never bit me or on purpose clawed me. And I took a shower every day with at least one of the cats trying to join me. They loved showers and when it rained they would run to their outdoor play area to cavort.

    For 300 pound cats you need to feed about 12 pounds of meet and vegetable matter a day. (A third vegetables and fruits, two thirds meat — tigers are omnivores.)

    But when it comes to loving, a human accepted as a member of their ambuish will receive endless signs of respect, affection and careing.

    They died years ago, but I still miss my kids, and so do my two legged kids. One of my favorite pictures is of Shieba nursing my three newborn daughters — both of my females treated my kids as their kittens
