Animal trainers

Also, to answer your questions, yes I interacted with my cats daily, it is risky to take time off because you need that bond of familiarity and routine, no surprises or absences.  The cats dont like it when youre unpredictable or unreliable . They know what the times of the day mean, when its feeding time, fast time, walk time , etc. They expected me to be there. I have many experiences i can share , like my first time going from shit sweeping apprentice to tiger handler- that was awesome. Standing next to a full grown tiger without a cage between you is the most unreal experience ever- i waited my whole life for it. Bombay was my favorite tiger and we had a strong relationship,  the best i had. I was so happy the day i started going into her enclosure and arena with her. I was amazed at how different a tiger looks when its just you and them,  they will check you out for sure. Bombay sniffed me like she always did, gave me a head boop along my leg and then plopped down at my feet within 5 minutes of me.  going in. She chuffed for a minute and let me run my hands over her back and head,  i was eager to actually touch her , not just thru the bars! She fell asleep and so i just sat with her for awhile. Paradise! It was a pivotal moment. Reply
