What’s so amusing about cats is that, big or small, cats are all so very similar. You can see the same kinds of actions in big cats that you do your little household pet. (Just on a much larger scale! LOL)
For example, one of the tigers at Animal Kingdom was cranky because her dinner was late. She was pacing around, growling in her annoyance. My cats do the same thing – only with less “roar” and more “meow” – when they feel dinner is tardy! (Click images for larger version.)
For the record, her annoyed roar was impressive as heck! So much bass to it, it sounded almost fake. Her dinner was running late because there were still people in the jungle trail (myself included) and until they all cleared out, they couldn’t bring out dinner. When I heard that, I made a quick exit. (Didn’t know she was stuck waiting on all the tourists!)
It’s just always funny though to see how much little house cats still have in common with their bigger cousins!
Wow 🙂 I love cats of all kinds (Mika UK is currently fast asleep on my legs) and you’re right, they share so many traits!
My sunet shot wasn’t taken with the Sigma lens, it was taken with my Canon PowerShot SX30 IS camera. Here’s one taken with the Sigma 10-20mm – http://www.flickr.com/photos/nikki-ann/8439412722/in/photostream/
It was just so funny that the tiger was pacing around, growling and annoyed at her dinner being late. Mika (US) and Gracie definitely let me know when dinner is late too! 😉
Ah, gotcha. I see that one is definitely a wider view too. Are you liking it?
I am! I was hoping to get out and about with it again this weekend, but it’s miserable and wet!
