My cats growing up LOVED to eat the heads off their prey first and sometimes the head was all they ate. I wonder if these big cats are wondering where their tasty, crunchy skull encrusted brain treats are. posted by MaryDellamorte at 4:22 PM on November 24, 2011 [1 favorite]
"Get your camera away from my NOMS" was something of a theme there.
I wrote these guys a letter suggesting they use something more sporting than turkey's like a yorkie or people. One of my readers sent me this and this. Basically weird stories of tax fraud and accusations of murder. I make no claims as got the truth of any of this. Judge the linked material on your own. Apparently People magazine did a story on the "too purrfect couple," but I can't find that link right now. posted by cjorgensen at 4:32 PM on November 24, 2011 [1 favorite]
Daaaaaw, big kitties. What was with the the carrots and other veggies at the start? Cats are strictly carnivorous, no molars. Don't tell my old kitty that though, she was hummus fanatic of the first water. posted by Purposeful Grimace at 4:32 PM on November 24, 2011
I felt bad for TJ at first, then I realized his turkey had been intentionally put in that tree.

That's what Thanksgiving looks like at my house too. Complete with the cat eating something novel, puking it up and eating it again. posted by troublewithwolves at 4:42 PM on November 24, 2011 [1 favorite]

Grace is my easy fave, a) because she totally failed to make it onto the table the first time and b) SO KYOOT. posted by mykescipark at 5:09 PM on November 24, 2011 [2 favorites]
Yes, Grace is somewhat gracially-challenged. posted by jrochest at 5:13 PM on November 24, 2011
I live right near this place. And I keep telling myself that I need to go check it out.
It looks amazing. Maybe next weekend... posted by Flood at 5:23 PM on November 24, 2011
Most of these species are rare and endangered in the wild, and regulations concerning the keeping of exotic wildlife in captivity in the US are woefully weak or completely lacking. It would be nice if some of the money people paid to see these critters in zoos went to conservation efforts so that zoos will not become the only places they exist. On a brighter note, a jaguar was recently spotted (joke unintended) in Arizona. posted by binturong at 6:05 PM on November 24, 2011

Big cats are already just about my favorite thing. After a few beers and a couple glasses of scotch, they are the #1 best thing ever invented on the planet. posted by uncleozzy at 6:58 PM on November 24, 2011 [3 favorites]

I'm a little disappointed they weren't given live turkeys....
