Having a well thought out discussion in work which is throwing up mixed answers so thought I'd put it to all you wonderful people.

If you could have a pet polar bear, or a pet tiger, knowing that they'd never ever turn on you and savage you which would you rather have?

I said a polar bear because a tiger is really just a big cat, and cats don't like water. So imagine in the winter when its snowy/rainy, it won't want to go anywhere with you, and in the summer you could take your polar bear to the beach and go in the sea have a right crack on with him, whereas the tiger would just be lazy and sleep on the beach.

Also with a tiger just being a big cat, people would say, "oh look at him hes got a big cat" how many people have got a bear? They'd be like "Whoaaaa!"....

Think carefully, and decide, it may be a decision you're faced with in the future!!

Edit : Sorry, no comedy/goon option in this poll, this is serious.

Haha.

I love the way you wrote this, Pierre. I can hear you saying every word, and your comedy accent makes it hilarious.
 
Tigers are very happy in water :)

I know what you're saying about the polar bear, but tigers are just very good looking animals

In terms of aesthetics, the tiger wins, but in terms of "best unusual pet" - the polar bear is the one to go for.

Also, if you had a tiger, imagine the presents it would leave on your doorstep? Deer, pigs, the granny next door, horses, sheep - you could feast every night!

The polar bear would just sit whining at the fridge hoping for a seal to come out! :p
 
I can't see that page at work its blocked!

By suggesting the tiger would be bringing presents home, you're kind of suggesting you'd allow it to roam around like most domestic cats, if thats the case imagine the size of the cat flap you'd need... although it would be funny seeing people laughing at your ridiculous sized catlfap then their faces dropping when your tiger strolled out of it.
 
Let's face it Pierre, how exactly were you proposing to keep the polar bear in your 2 up 2 down? In the bath???

Obviously you'd have your garage converted into a tiger room :roll: :lol:

For some reason I have a problem with the phrase "giant cat flaps", it makes me giggle childishly :oops:

Yeah me too.

I'd call them doors.

...that are unlocked.


On that basis, a pet tiger is a bit of a security risk isn't it?

I suspect not...

"Come on Jenkins! We're going to rob this Mackem bastard blind"

"I'm coming, but do you think there's a reason this door is unlocked Jonesy? **** me, look at the size of that water bowl!"

"What are you on about Jenkins? It's a baby bath, in we go, teach him leave his..."

GROWL!

"... bollocks! Run away! RUN AWAY!!!"
 
Polar bear.

I saw a picture of what one did to a guy. Looking at the damage he's be quite a useful body guard.

I will call my Polar bear Tibbles.


Edit: Giving more though I would over all have a Honey Badger. They're Vicious!

Yes, but if you've got a tiger flap, then it's quite likely that your tiger will be out. Otherwise, why bother getting it installed in the first place?

One of those magnetic collar things? :)
 
Tiger.

Let's face it, both would be amazing pets, but there's something slightly more sexy about a tiger. Yes, polar bears are awesome, and they'd be a brilliant pet, however I'll have a tiger please.

Oh, and can I have a white tiger instead?

This is why I want a polar bear, you could go clubbing with it all the time...

(get it?)
 
Tiger...

Obviously in the end it's behaviour would be a big factor, would it behave like a normal wild tiger or more akin to a domestic cat?

If it was like my two cats, it would be indoors most of the time...

Having it sit on your lap would not be a fun game though... But would defo want a Tiger over a Polar Bear any day of the week...
 
Polar bear. Not only would a Norwegian climate be rather bad for a tiger, but having a polar bear as a pet would solidly affirm every stereotypical thoughts anyone who met me would ever have about Norwegians.
 
^I was going to say you must already have a pet polar bear?

Get a Siberian tiger. They're used to the cold, and they're the biggest type as well.

I'd get a Siberian, then start my own breeding program and reintroduce them to parts of their former habitat, namely South Korea and starting with central Seoul.
