Cute, isn't he? All fluffy and soft looking? Totally pet-able. Until he eats the villagers, that is.
This guy was at the Wild Animal Sanctuary. I've posted pictures of a few of the other critters (lions and tigers and bears...well, you know what comes next.)

Any of these catch your attention? Anything to share? Submission news? Doesn't that tiger look cuddly?
May you find your Muse.

I've been so reticent with my writing lately-- I should look into a couple of your links. Thanks for sharing.
And yes, he sure looks cuddly-- from afar!
Tigers are such amazing animals.
Tigers are beautiful but I don't think I want to pet one.
Sharing that one link with my college daughter.
He is cute. Wonder if tigers are as bossy as housecats.
Did you actually get that close to the tiger? I'd be very nervous, though it's a fantasy of my sister's to hug one.
50 Places Every Literary Fan Should Visit - think I need to check it out.
Hello human, Shannon,
And nice big kitty. Roar!!!
I should cuddle that tiger. What a thrill for yet another one of my aroaring, sorry, adoring fans.
I should check out that link about 50 places every literary fan should visit. No doubt, being a superstar writing dog, I'm on the list.
Just wanted to share that I thinking you are an amazing human, Shannon!
Pawsitive wishes,
Penny :)
This is a sweet photo Shannon! It's so true that tiger is totally pet-able and that's the scariest part. I hope you have a splendid Friday.
Those big cats do make me want to wrap my arms around them, but better judgement tells me no. Beautiful and lethal.
Thanks for all the digging you do to find the sources for writers.
He does look deceptively cute ... when he's asleep. Wouldn't it be wonderful if lions and tigers were just giant fluffy kitties that loved to be petted, would come when you call and nuzzle you? :)
