Hello Kitty!

We visited the Tiger Kingdom in Phuket, where one gets to spend a bit of time with some of their tigers. These big kitties have been raised in captivity and are used to human contact... they are also very well fed, minimizing their interest in contemplating visitors as dinner. It was an amazing experience. We spent time with the smallest tiger cubs (about 4 months old) and then with the really big guys.





You can't imagine how BIG these guys are... and my, what sharp teeth they have! Good we stayed at the end that doesn't bite. Although truth be told, he was yawning not roaring. :)
 The smallest cubs were simply adorable. Yes, I'm allergic to cats, but couldn't help myself. Luckily (and happily) I really didn't have any adverse reaction... just a wee sniffle.
Hello Kitty!!! Well, aren't YOU just the sweetest little one?

It was simply a purrrrrfect visit at the Tiger Kingdom!
