The Big Cat

I love cats. That's why I maintain the PBase Topic ”Cats of the World” Send me your cat galleries if you want to be included.

I like big cats best, but that's not feasible around the home, so below a photo of our slightly smaller house tiger Diego.

The image above was taken for this weeks Totally Informal Transglobal Challenge Thursday Challenge: "Something that takes your fancy....". Check out other images here
