Misleading title. I was ready to smack down a parent for being stupid. :D

I’ve seen this quite often when toddlers are near the big cat’s cages at the zoo. The younger cats have a stronger reaction than the older ones, usually, but they all react somehow. I once saw a teenage lion nearly knock himself out on the plexiglass because he was trying to pounce. The 2 year old girl he was aiming for was clearly thinking “kitty!” while he was thinking “Lunch!!!”

Here’s hoping the glass is well made and well installed.

I don’t think I’d let my kid get that close. Glass or no glass.

I remember being in a zoo, years ago, Central Park or the Bronx, I can’t remember.

Watching a Tiger, with the tail going up and down, up and down, and knowing, just KNOWING, how much that Tiger wanted to eat me.

Very intimidating.

“It was all very graceful, too.”

Yes, I love that about cats. How they can go from perfectly still, to speeding action, to perfectly still. They are really intense.

Funny tagline too, too true I’m afraid. I always tell my daughter that is a good, annoying song about a true, annoying truth.

Like Paul Simon’s “slip sliding away”.
