I just LURVE cats any shape or size. I would love to have a liger.

Ligers are the product of a male lion and female tiger...Tigon is a Tiger Male and lion female...The females of both species can reproduce...not the males.....They are huge!!! here's a pic

Yes, but I prefer "mutts"...
All of my fur-faces have been either rescue cats or from the pound.
I lean towards calico's because they are so pretty but any little mewing kitty will steal my heart in a minute. I could easily become that "crazy cat woman down the street with 150 cats"....HA!
I am currently "catless". My last dear one had to be put to sleep 2 years ago...she was 21 years old. A year previous, I had to put my 19 year old black long-haired to sleep. She was the "queen of all things". I miss them.
I retired 2 years ago, shortly before they were gone. Since then, I travel - alot!!! and have no one to watch animals while I'm gone.
Soooo, I'll get all this travel over with and when I run out of money or something slaps me upside the head, I will make the trek to get a coupla unwanted ones for companions. We will sit on the sofa together, grow old and take long naps.....

Haven't heard of the tigon, but sounds logical. Ligers I've seen on the boob.

I am a cat lover that is for sure. I know those ligers and tigons are huge cats and they are beautiful. Should would not want to met one.

Tigrons are not as large as ligers, but all but a couple are supposed to be sterile. There was one they had on Johnny Carson years ago that was so large that it's head was ten feet of the ground when standing on it's hind legs. Gigantic animals and sweet tempered. Not like true wild animals. Tigrons were more like their wild counterparts. More aggressive in captivity. You can put ligers in on your search page and see the different ones they still have. They don't seem to live as long as normal big cats.

Yes Tigon offspring of male tiger and lioness
ligers the other way round( I think)

Yep, crosses between the tigers and the lions. Very good! They are not desirable animals, kind of like wolves mixed with dogs, but it happens. Kind of odd looking some of them. Stripes where there shouldn't be and all. I wonder if they are outcasts in the natural world...

Yes, I saw a programme about them, I was stunned at the sheer size of them, just Google them for lots of pics.
