Text, Questions & Answers

Though house cats and wild tigers might seem very different, they have more in common than you might think. Both are part of the cat family, have sharp claws, and enjoy a meaty meal. However, while house cats are small and live comfortably in homes, tigers are large and prefer the wide-open spaces of the wild. House cats, being one of the most popular pets worldwide, are typically gentle and friendly, while tigers, known as one of the largest and strongest animals in the wild, exhibit strength and fierceness.
