People consider the tiger to be a big cat, this is literary the case because they share the same family with the house cat. On the other end, some even harbor the thought of taming the wild cat since they consider the normal house cat to be a pretty little creature; they also expect pet a tiger and have it behave in the same manner.

The tiger is a very intelligent animal and its more intelligent than both the domestic cat and dog which are our common pets. Its intelligence tends to work to its own advantage in nature and if this intelligence is enhanced and taped at an early age the big cats can be trained to follow commands just like all the other domestic pets we commonly know but with a greater amount of strength.

The animal as a pet is also considered to be very good in enhancing security in homestead just like the common guard dogs.

They fight and eventually kills them and at times they even kill animals they once played with while they were little. Tigers only come into contact with other tigers only when mating or fighting for territory.

Tigers are very expensive animals to maintain since they do not feed on regular cat food and are also known to down a whole cow in two sittings. This makes it really hard for the owners to maintain it since they also have to purchase supplements for it so that its health is at its peak.
