See Rosemary, I have the same situation – my 8 pound furball can standing broad jump (standing, I tell you!) atop a 6 foot half-wall. Even with the 30 foot moat, it sure seems that 20 feet – let alone 12.5 – is not high enough.

In my column on the incident this week, I question the argument that it is always necessary to use lethal force to take down an escaped zoo animal and I point out that the loss of a rare endangered Siberian tiger–like the loss of Sousa–is also a tragedy. It’s still puzzling to me that none of the continuing mainstream press coverage contextualizes the incident by highlighting or even mentioning the fate of Siberian Tigers. Imagine if Sousa were one of the last members of a vanishing human tribe. For more info. on tigers, check out my Oct. 10, 2006 column on last year’s tiger habitat survey:

Question is, darlin’, why do you have a 15-pound cat? In fact, weighed it an ounce, why would one have a cat? If you die in your house, the fucker will eat you.

If my fat 15 pound cat can from the ground, scale an 8 foot fence, I don’t know why it’s surprising that tatiana was able to get over 12.5 feet.

Benazir Bhutto got killed by a tiger. I shit you not. She was riding around in a lightly armored vehicle. They say it was that she got concussed when her head slammed into the roof of the car – well, duh, it got slammed there by a fucking tiger.

Could Pervez Musharaf have built that wall a meter taller? Sure he could have. But that’s not the point. God damn Benazir Bhutto and her tiger-taunting. Goes and stands up out of her sunroof and shoots a spit-wad at a quarter-ton predator with great, huge claws and gnashing, four-inch saber teeth.

Fuck her. Seriously. Fuck Benazir Bhutto in the neck. Challenge patriarchal Islam orthodoxy all you want. I’m not impressed. Fuck around with a tiger and see where that gets ya.
