Below are images of Celestial Paddy O'Malley, probably the closest to a wild tiger that we'll ever get!
Oh yeah, he was scary in his ferociousness!
😹 😹 😹
Be nice to tigers!
🐅
Paddy O had his own version of stripes. And carried them quite well.
ReplyDeleteTigers are most beautiful and Celestial Paddy was just as beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties. ♥
Wow! Paddy you made an impressive little tiger cat ~ Real tigers impressive too '~

Paddy was a goofy fuzzball; I think his tigerish dna may have been a little less than 95.6 per cent...
ReplyDeleteOnly a little less...hehehe!

ReplyDeleteThey are magnificent creatures
ReplyDeleteI remember a nature documentary about tigers that showcased an ingenious method to help protect bush hunters, fishermen, et al from attacks. The folks wore backward facing masks, which goes to show the intelligence of tigers' unwillingness to approach humans from the 'front', as the big cats interpreted it.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, be nice to tigers! One famous person I'm too lazy to look up right now said God gave us housecats so we could pet tigers.
