The thought that comes to my mind is this. What does a tiger eat in Texas? Whatever it wants to.  NIMBY applies here. My neighbors better not own something that could attack my family, if it gets out, it's getting shot. No, if, ands or buts about it.  Rams

Hopefully, this tiger may be relocated by responsible authorities to this Texas sanctuary: https://www.wildanimalsanctuary.org/sanctuary-texasRecently acquired by my wife's cousin. His life's mission has been to give these beautiful animals an option from captivity; his facilities are mostly open land where they may roam as freely as possible with optimum safety measures employed. His facility in Keenesburg, CO is a place that truly comes from a vision that he spent his entire adult life in conceiving and constructing; he is renowned throughout North and South America for his expertise in rescuing large carnivores from exploitation and abuse; relocating them to these sanctuaries to live out their lives under his care. This cat will be one of the lucky ones if it goes to his sanctuary.

Reference Henry 008's cougar in a tree, was considering capture and adopting that one.  The SU wasn't so much in favor of that plan. So misunderstood...........  Rams

Rams I’m not sure I’d want to capture that. A nice stalk on her while she’s sleeping would be more my style. J.Men, your BIL sounds like a standup dude.

Buck Owens had a tiger by the tail.  I once dated a pretty lady during the period prior to meeting my wife. We went out for dinner one evening and among other things, with her permission I ordered wine for both of us. Later when I asked if she would like a refill, she declined...saying she didn't think I could handle catching a tiger by the tail. Since I have no interest in acquiring or maintaining a relationship with wild animals, that date was "one and done" for me.

Cougar resting in a tree  If you look closely at the bark on the tree directly behind her heels, I swear it looks as though the tree is smiling.

Yup, he is the actual tiger king, not that nutjob who's deservedly sitting in a jail cell. The guy is the real deal, particularly when it comes to tigers. He has a symbiosis with them that is spooky spiritual, a different level of consciousness around when he's with them. A "Tiger Whisperer" if I may coin a phrase.

Plus I'd much rather have a cougar, that cougar, in my tree than a tiger, any tiger, roaming around the yard. I don't know about that. The tiger you can shoot. The drunk cougar you can't. You got to call the cops (or the fire department) and get her down out of your tree. And then they're asking how you know her, is she your wife or daughter or girlfriend, and what did you do to her? And you're like, I have no idea who she is, and I didn't do anything to her. And they're giving you the stink eye not believing you. And then all your neighbors are giving you the stink eye for having the naked cougar in your tree. And you become the pariah of the neighborhood, and the cops. And then a couple guys down the street are trying to get you to give them her phone number. And later she sues you for your ticks giving her Lyme's disease. I'd just rather shoot the tiger and be done with it.  And BTW, if you guys keep reposting that picture, eventually Carl is going to see it, and then there will be hell to pay.

Apparently cougars aren't welcomed here, she seems to have disappeared. Hopefully she found a good home.

A good resolution. Captured and relocated to the Cleveland Amory Sanctuary near Dallas; he will live out his life there in harmony among his own kind.

I remember her, she can't be unseen! God bless her! Too bad that happened, tho. But God bless her! Really.

Down here in South Texas the locals would love for a tiger to get loose in the countryside. Texas law doesn't protect a tiger......it would be hunting time.
