People consider the tiger to be a big cat, this is literary the case because they share the same family with the house cat. On the other end, some even harbor the thought of taming the wild cat since they consider the normal house cat to be a pretty little creature; they also expect pet a tiger and have it behave in the same manner.
The tiger is a very intelligent animal and its more intelligent than both the domestic cat and dog which are our common pets. Its intelligence tends to work to its own advantage in nature and if this intelligence is enhanced and taped at an early age the big cats can be trained to follow commands just like all the other domestic pets we commonly know but with a greater amount of strength.
The animal as a pet is also considered to be very good in enhancing security in homestead just like the common guard dogs. This is because the tiger is a highly territorial animal and in this case any creature that crosses into its territory is considered competition; this combined with its size and strength makes it a killing machine.
When they have been taken in as pets they never lose their killer instinct since this instinct is something that they were born with and they cannot change it instead they only minimize it since they do not have to use it to hunt or survive because their needs have been catered for in captivity.
By nature tigers are loners, they do not really need companions. This loner trait is not only observed in the wild but also when the tiger has been brought in as a pet; this is seen when another animal is brought in for them as company. They fight and eventually kills them and at times they even kill animals they once played with while they were little. Tigers only come into contact with other tigers only when mating or fighting for territory.
Having a tiger as a pet is also one lifelong commitment that the owner of the pet has to consider. The owner has to consider several factors before he or she acquires the pet. Because the pet has a high maintenance cost and its cost of food is high and also the tiger needs to be constantly monitored to see if it is into any mischief.
Tigers are solitary animals and in captivity they still do not like so much company they trust only very few individuals in most cases only two people and in case they are not present to feed them they will not take food from strangers thus they starve until the person they trust feeds them and in case they are not present they starve to death.
While in captivity tigers are supposed to be trained how to hunt on their own so that if they are ever released to the wild they can depend on their own skill since they are known to hunt human beings because we form an easy target.
