TIGER AND CAT

Tigers are the biggest members of the cat family and are closely related to other
big cats, such as snow leopards and lions. The predatory felines are critically endangered, and
only 3,050 to 3,950 tigers are thought to remain in the wild. These two species have a lot in
common.
Cats’ bodies are very similar to those of tigers; they are both made for hunting which
we can see from their anatomy and flexibility. They also share a physical characteristic in their
toes, as they have five on their front paws and four on the back ones. This is a very important
aspect since it aids in their agility, momentum and speed-skills, that are very useful when
hunting or running from predators. Their toes allow the animals to walk on tip-toe, almost
giving the impression that they’re dancing. In this way they can be silent when stalking their
prey. The idea that cats drink milk is actually just a myth. In fact, their stomachs aren’t able
to digest it well. Cat’s have a carnivorous diet, like tigers. So, meat and fish should be the
main ingredients in their meals. We know that dogs mark their territory, but cats do it also
(like all wild cats). They don’t like to share what’s theirs. Because of that, they’ll leave a
urinal or fecal trace so that everyone understands their message of “this is mine”. Cats have
this same need to mark their territory. However, it’s been shown that after they’ve been
sterilized, their urge to do this decreases considerably.
Domestic Cats have slit pupils and Tigers have round pupils. Unlike domestics, the
big Cats have only hazel or copper eyes. Tigers love water, however there are some
domestic Cats that enjoy water, but are far and few in between, and not to the extent of
the Tiger.
