Let sleeping tigers lie!

1. JFC are those beasts powerful

   No wonder Shere Khan is King of the Jungle

   1. On that score, I am curious about the new Disney movie.

2. This is an accurate representation of the relationship between me and my alarm clock.

   1. Damnit, beat me to that joke. 😉

   2. Me, too

3. Happens at our house on a smaller scale.

4. Male wakes up sleeping female. Female is annoyed. Male backs down.
   If I were a woman, what’s not to like?

   1. He’ll be sleeping on the couch for a while.

   2. I was going to say that I can relate to the big male. Poor guy…

      1. I felt sorry for him too. 🙁

   3. Male: “Hey, baby- wake up; want to have sex?”
      Female: “What??!! I was having a nice nap and you come to me with THIS bullshit? Why don’t you go out and catch us something to eat?”
      Male: “Oh- oh; I’m sorry- see, I was just coming down here to get a drink and…well, I’ll be going, now….”

5. Love the casually slinking-off retreat🐯

   1. The best part is how he takes a sip of water before slinking off. Yeah – I just came down for a drink of water and now am leaving. Typical male – making a show to retain a bit of dignity.

      1. Surprised he didn’t lick a paw as well…

   2. Yeah. You can almost hear the poor guy thinking “geez, I only wanted to say hello.”

      I do think its quite funny in one sense though. He has discovered that one disadvantage to being a silent ambush predator is that, when you’re not thinking about it, you are a silent ambush predator. 🙂

6. Paraphrasing Hogwart’s motto: tigris dormiens nunquam titillandus

7. This is played out in small scale on my living room rug almost every day, minus the roars

8. Sorry Jerry, hate to be a pedant, but I’m virtually certain the visitors are not foreign. At 0:32 the mother says, “No, you’re ok, stay here with Mam”, in what to this native’s ears is a mild Dublin or Eastern seaboard accent.

   1. They’re foreign to Americans! 🙂

      1. Well now I’ve been triggered by Muricacentrism. Next time I’m at the zoo, that enclosure’s gonna be my safe space!

         1. Don’t forget to write and post a list of demands.

9. Reblogged this on The Logical Place.

10. I cannot see any joy in watching the videos of the tiger attacks following this one.

    1. Did I say you should watch those other videos? Nope.

11. I was wondering if PCCE ever got to see tiger cubs whilst in India?
    This one is very friendly and will only take a small nibble out of your wallet!

12. Good news reported recently for tigers: after years of steady decline an increase in the wild population has been recorded. They are still a long way from being safe but this is very encouraging news for one of the most beautiful of cats.

    1. It’s not really an increase, it’s just a new estimate that happens to be a bit higher than the last one. There’s no evidence for an actual uptick, let alone an upward trajectory in wild population numbers; the loss of habitat, and area of verified-unoccupied habitat in the original range, continue to increase. No actual good news there at all.

13. Just like house cats! Right down to the sheepish mannerisms, etc.

    I noticed this with the lions of east Africa as well: Just oversized kitty-cats. Same walks, play, postures. (With razor-sharp teeth a mile-long!)

    1. Yes indeed. The only problem is that they look at humans like house cats look at mice!

14. whoah boy ! just like me in the Morning.lol

15. Don’t wake kitty. She’s not a morning cat.

16. What a grouchy feline – even continuing to growl as the offender walks away. Of course, we don’t know how many times the instigator has interrupted her sleep.
