What’s worse is that in terms of raw intelligence, tigers and the other big cats are the equal of man. They don’t think the same way we do which handicaps them, but they’re every bit as smart as your average human. Smarter than some, if you include Democrats.
The Romans documented at least one case where a female tiger who had been robbed of her cubs tracked down the man responsible - halfway across the European continent.
Do not screw around with big cats.
Cats in general are highly intelligent and problem solvers. My two female housecats display an intelligence and a range of emotional dispositions that shock me. Small domestic cats even have hunting instincts like their larger cousins. Cats are the ultimate predators.
