A tiger was spotted on the loose in a Houston neighborhood Sunday night — with one man pointing what appears to be a gun at the wild animal.
The big cat with a collar was roaming around the residential area on Ivy Wall Drive at about 8 p.m. when the unidentified, apparently armed man yells at another man to take the tiger inside, KHOU 11 reported.
The apparent owner eventually grabs the tiger and brings it back inside his home, photos show.

The dude with the peashooter is too close - he wouldn’t have time to raise that piece to firing position before Stripes took him down, especially if owner was still tangled/in line-of-fire.
Poor kitty - living a miserable existence as a house toy.
Invasive species like muzzies.
I watched this last night on Twitter. The gentleman with the gun was a LEO in the neighborhood. I totally respect his restraint.
From what others posted the girlfriend of the owner misplaced the tiger in the home.
The owner told others he worked for a zoo or circus.
Once inside the home the owner got back into his SUV with the tiger and sped off.
It is an upscale neighborhood in Houston in the Energy corridor. Of course, give it some time with Biden and the neighborhood will become a slum after the energy industry is destroyed. They got hit pretty hard by hurricane Harvey.
“John Cleese suffered from food poisoning during the shooting of the Tiger sequence; between each take he would run outside and be sick. “
As others have said, guy with gun showed no common sense.
Cat was just scoping out a new scene, not looking for trouble.
when the owner was trying to get it in the house, the guy yelling was endangering himself, tiger does not want to turn its back on an aggressive animal, and cats in general do not like it when you annoy their human.
—”We’re gonna need a bigger litter box!”
A larger litterbox, so it alliterates as in the original?
Note, the gentleman with the gun appears to be wearing a badge. I wonder what agency he is with?
Reading more, It seems the stupid guy was law enforcement, and the tiger did not respect his authority.
Everything makes sense now.
So the tiger was harmless until the guy started yelling? Calling Roy Horn. Let’s ask him about tigers in situations, familiar or not.
you don’t know anything about cats do you ?
I know enough to not trust a tiger. Are you saying they are harmless pussycats?
I am saying that the tiger was not looking for trouble.
but then an angry animal started annoying it, tiger may decide it is not worth it, but might decide to stand its ground.
I thing we can agree it is best not to annoy a tiger.
my kid used to get stalked frequently by big cats while walking, he figured out even big cats like a laser pointers, and when they get tired they leave you alone.
No kidding. They can just use DemocRATs/Liberals/Commies for their experimentation purposes.
Music to my ears.........LOL
