Truly big cats such as lions don't make pets. But several of the medium sized cats, such as servals, apparently accustom themselves very readily to humans. It's not just a size thing though - the ocelot can't be tamed, whereas lynxes apparently can. But keeping any such animal requires patience and hard work, as well as that the human makes certain accommodations to the animal - and not the other way round! Glad to hear the Tampa organisation is helping these big beasts recover from their sad experiences.

We visited a lovely French park in Auneau, near Chartres, which specialised in preserving rare cat breeds including fishing cats, sand cats, several types of tigers, jaguars, and jaguarondi. It's now moved to Nesles in Seine-et-Marne department, having outgrown its original location. www.parc-des-felins.com
