And some of us, of course, would have to be occasionally sacrificed to the huge feline as playthings who may or may not escape or survive the encounter. For them, the chance that their remains would be honored as a gift to a larger being would be their blessing I guess.

I can't imagine those tiny cans with flip-tops would help with their hunger.

And who would give them their head rubs?

And can you imagine having one of these staring at you at 4:30AM saying "Human - time for food!"

Would be to build giant cardboard boxes, in which we could easily lure and trap them.

(Has anyone seen the pictures of lions, tigers, whatever, with boxes? They all sit in them, even if they've never encoutered one. Wild ones, ones in zoos, whatever.)
