(54,411 posts)I was thinking, who keeps a Bengal tiger as a house pet?

(115,745 posts)and according to the article it was probably already dead when the cat found it washed up on the shore and brought it home as a gift for her humans. She seemed rather proud of herself, as they usually do. The shark was probably the coolest thing she'd ever found.

(22,103 posts)My cats have brought me all manner of gifts before, but I think I'd have to draw the line at a shark.

(21,498 posts)When cats bring home their catches, they are contributing to their "human colony's" food supply. Even though their humans are eating and are giving food to the cat it, the cat feels obligated to contribute food that meets its own feline standards.

(115,745 posts)or maybe terrible scavengers, since apparently she found the shark washed up dead on the beach and brought it home.

(23,121 posts)It hurt like hell and bled! A few minutes later some kids caught it, so I saw the size. Even baby sharks hurt like hell when they bite you. Luckily I was in very shallow water so easy to get out of the biting range. The kids were young and dumb and lucky they weren't hurt. Everyone survived, even the baby shark got released back into the water. SMH

(23,121 posts)I immediately got out of the water and would only walk in the surf after that since I was only about hip deep with a big wave, knee deep when the wave went down, when I got bit. I was raised on the coast and have always gone to the beach a few times a year, so sharks have always been a possibility. Next time I went, I saw no sharks so went back in deeper.
