But the vet assured me he's just a regular house cat. The neighbors have threatened to call animal control. They're just mad he wakes them up with his loud snoring every morning. I find it endearing. It's his trademark, just like his favorite food is raw, bloody meat straight from the butcher. So no, I refuse to believe he's a tiger, even as he mauls my face to shreds.
