Like a tiger or puma?
Seems fairly common in the EU, not so much here in the US...

And thats why you see all these sightings for 'huge" cats, when they could be escaped "pets"...Period point blank, wild animals like Tigers, pumas, etc should not be pets, they lack the genetic disposition that has been bred into domesticated animals...

story from 2003
Tiger, gator removed from Harlem apartment
Police: Tenant charged with reckless endangerment
Monday, October 6, 2003 Posted: 10:19 AM EDT (1419 GMT)
Video from a police surveillance camera shows the tiger resting in a Harlem apartment Saturday.
NEW YORK (CNN) -- A man who kept a 400- to 500-pound Bengal tiger and a 3-foot alligator as roommates in his Harlem apartment was in custody Sunday, charged with reckless endangerment, police said.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the tale began Wednesday, when police officers responded to a call of a dog bite at the 19-story public housing apartment building. They found Antoine Yates, 31, in the lobby, with injuries to his right arm and right leg that he told police had been caused by a pit bull, Kelly said.
Yates was taken to Harlem Hospital, where he was admitted for treatment.
Thursday, an anonymous caller told police that "someplace in the city, there was a large wild animal," Kelly said. "There was a large wild animal who was biting people."
The tipster called back Friday night, saying that the "wild animal" was at Yates' apartment, Kelly said.
When police returned Saturday to the apartment building to investigate, a resident told them the tenants included a tiger. Yates -- who had checked himself out of the hospital -- was nowhere to be found.
Police talked with a neighbor who said the man in the apartment owned a tiger. A fourth-floor resident complained that urine had seeped through her ceiling from Yates' apartment, Kelly said.
Still trying to determine what they were dealing with, police cut a hole in Yates' door.
"An officer who was guarding the apartment looked through the hole and indeed saw the large tiger pass by the open hole," Kelly said.
Larry Wallach, a tiger specialist from Suffolk County who assisted the police, said the orange tiger looked well-fed and in "great shape."
After it was sedated, the tiger was carried from the building on a gurney and loaded onto a waiting truck.
After it was sedated, the tiger was carried from the building on a gurney and loaded onto a waiting truck.
Wallach said he peered through the hole and saw the tiger lying by the window, and Kelly said he spied the animal contentedly licking its paws.
Police said the apartment was so cluttered they felt they had no choice but to rappel from above and shoot a tranquilizer dart from outside.
Officer Martin Duffy got the job, lowering himself from a seventh-floor apartment, armed with a tranquilizer gun and an M-4 rifle. Once at the window, he tapped on it with his shoe to get the tiger's attention.
The tiger lunged.
"I got pretty nervous, I'm not going to lie," Duffy told reporters later. "He broke the glass when he charged at me."
Duffy fired one dart into the animal and was then lowered to the ground. A second officer rappelled down the side of the building a few minutes later to ensure the animal was sedated before police entered the apartment through the door. They found the animal unconscious atop a pile of furniture.
The alligator was nearby. Both animals were taken to an animal shelter.
Yates, who surfaced later Saturday night at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, in Philadelphia, was taken into custody and charged with reckless endangerment, police said.
"This is an only-in-New-York story," Kelly said.
Police suspect Yates got the tiger when it was a cub and had lived with it for as long as two years. www.cnn.com/2003/US/guy/

Pitts, okay--domesticated. But my apt complex bans pitts and wolf hybrids. Wolves, are wild. And they have that Alpha Male thing worse than Getbig.... I don't think big cats are horrible, dangerous wild animals. I like them, don't like the people who have them to bred hybrids. But, they are Cats, and cats different from dogs, you know this. Cats have their own way of thinking, they don't do things to please you--an they will look at you like you are stupid. And you get a 500 pound big cat---think about a 500 pound CAT...eff that. "Lets go outside and play with the 800 pound Siberian Tiger, i think he's hungry..."

Haha! Fair enough.
Would be cool to take one to the local dog park however...

You see that's what pisses me off. Bobcats, Lynxes, those are wild animals, that's like having a baby Edward Scissorhands running around, someday something will happened. I saw this one show where a family had a Serval---they had him declawed, because the animal was too aggressive and was clawing up people and objects...so, instead of saying, "hmmm, maybe this serval is not right for this house, lets give it to a zoo or shelter."
But, no, they had to have a Serval, so they declaw it, so now, it cannot be sent to a wildlife reserve, because it can't hunt. Totally selfish.
Reminds of the kid who had a Reticulated Python and it got too big, i saw it, he had to give away to a zoo, the damn thing was 18 feet long and well over 200 pounds..

I had a pet coyote for awhile.
Worked out just fine, and that was a 'wild animal'.

trust me when the cat started nutting up i stepped the fuck back. this guy walked up to the window the cat was basking in with his german shep and boom boom boom like 10 times the cat swatted the windows (the dog would have been toast) and then started with the growling and all pissed off walking around and jumping up on displays eyes bugged out, the whole "cat" deal.
wasnt good. the other shop guy opened the door and told the shep owner to go away or he would let the cat out. this was a young not full sized bobcat too.

I think he told me he paid $5000 for it plus shipping. It looks a little like our cat just taller and stretched out.

I had one of those, used to feed it raw chicken breast, the thing would flip out like it was posessed.

the diff between Coyote and Wolf are like VW Bug and Porsche 911 Turbo---both rear engined, both have boxer engines, and that is where the similarities end...

Did you guys know the "ligers" actually exist? It was Napoleon Dynamite's favorite animal, I know, but it is real.
I saw it on the news yesterday. A lion and tiger can mate and have offspring, but the offspring they have can never reproduce themselves.
I'm being serious.

Pretty sure all cats are anorexic. Hairball city. :-\

Yeah, a lot of owners now are trying "exotic" mixes like, Cougar and Leopard, which producces odd looking offspring, because Cougars have long bodies and Leopards have short legs. Then there is Leopard and Lion, if it is a female lion, the female has to apparently lay on her side, because the male Leopard is too small. If a male is produced, they have a Lion's mane, but leopard spots, they are generally sterile.
Many of these animals would never mate in the wild, like the Lion and Tiger, both of the Panthera, and especially the Lion and Leopard, and definitely the Cougar and Leopard, because one is a New World apex predator and the other is Old World.

Can you inseminate a female lion or tiger or cougar (or some big wild female cat) with male house cat sperm? Or does that not work?

No, they are of the cat family but totallly different, gnetics and DNA That's like inseminating a Chimp with human sperm, or a human with Chimp sperm, there will be no result...

That proves nothing about the subject. It does prove that a wildebeest can breed with a dog turd though.

So tigers are gay now?
When did this happen?
