i have heard a tiger,lion,etc will not hurt a domestic cat if they are standing side by side. Is this an urban myth? I am aware my question is somewhat vague.
I read about Koko and her kitties in the Chicken Soup book (so sad when All Ball died), but this is the first time I've seen pics. Thanks!Originally Posted by BuzbyJLC10
Don't know about big wild cats, but Koko, the gorilla that communicates through sign language, has a few kitties as pets! She always communicated to her trainer that she wanted a baby and unfortunately, efforts to mate her had been unsuccessful to that point, so her trainer tried getting her a kitten that had been abandoned - Koko took her right in!
This link is a pic of Koko with her second kitty, Smoky (the first All Ball unfortunately passed, after which Koko became quite depressed - sorry, I've seen several documentaries on Koko, hehe)

And a short bit about All Ball

I know it's a little off the topic, but quite interesting
