What would happen if you a raise a baby tiger like a little cat?

Hmmm no he/she will not act just like a normal house cat. Because you have to remember they are still wild animals with instincts and they could and probably will try and attack you as they get older. So I’d say bad idea. Don’t keep wild animals as house pets.

Well I think outcomes would be different, different tiger, different people. Like most people say, they are animals that are meant to be in the wild & they probably will live up to their instincts even if you raise them to be friendly. Ever seen this ? http://funadvice.com/r/3obhk1uo6f It ended well. (yeah I know he’s a lion.)

It would grow…

It likely would loose all fear of humans…However, all cats small or large are predators by nature. Ever see what a regular housecat can do in a playful or not so playful mood? Magnify the teeth, claws, and strength to a full grown tiger. Even crocodiles will back off from an encounter with a tiger over a kill. They are beautiful…. but one of the most dangerous hunters out there.

its okay , but it depends on the type of food you feed it , raw meat and live food can bring trouble in future , after all it is a wild cat

No, it would not. Big cats (tigers, lions, caracals, ocelots, servals, panthers etc etc etc) all have wild instincts and it’s only because of the domestication of house cats many years ago that have lead them to live more placid trained lives. When domestic cats were wild cats they used to act like big cats too- stalking and catching their every meal, they were violent and aggressive and who could blame them when everything else wanted to eat them! It’s taken hundreds of years of keeping cats as pets (first starting on pirate ships and in ancient egypt when they kept cats to catch mice) to turn what was once a wild animal into a comfortable house pet.

Although, remember, house cats are still unpredictable. Think of all the times you’ve been patting a purring kitty only to have your hand spontaniously partially amputated by the once placid and playful puss. Those times your kitten/cat goes wild and zooms around the house like it’s posessed, and those times they climb the curtains and knock over the Christmas tree, when they wait around corners ready to pounce at your ankles and when they hide in your blankets waiting for you to put your feet in at bed time… Imagine if all those times, instead of having a naughty house cat weighing 5 kilos (2-3 pounds) with claws the same size as your fingernails, you had a fully grown tiger! Weighing 300 kilos! with claws that could shread your insides with a single accidental swipe!

- There is a reason we don’t keep big cats (or any wild animals) as pets. As cool as it may seem, it’s dangerous and unfair the animals who are only following their natural instincts.

- Even if you raised a newborn tiger/lion as a house cat, it would still possess wild characteristics and personality. It would also cost a lot as they can eat a wholewilderbeast in one meal. Imagine buying 2 thanksgiving turkeys a day to feed your furry friend….. $$$$$$$$$

- My suggestion, buy a big stuffed toy version and sit it in a sneaky dark place to scare your family and friends. hehe.

It will go into puberty when it is 1 year old. Then it will accidentally break your neck when it gets competitive and tries to show you how strong it now is. That will make the poor young tiger very, very sad because it will love you by then.
