At first glance, this could be any full-grown cat on its way out for a prowl.
But on closer inspection, the curious feline is actually a White Bengal Tiger cub called Buster.
The eight-week-old cub was rescued by staff at West Midland Safari Park after being left for dead.
Buster is now being hand reared by the Park's Veterinary Nurse, Lucy Pearsall.
He even goes home with her in the evening and, like most other cats his size, uses the cat flap to escape into the garden.

... and what bliss to cuddle up with him at night on the sofa with him in your lap doing all that purring! Lucky lady, that vet nurse.

Especially when it starts dragging deer, dogs, and the mailman through it.

Especially when it starts dragging deer, dogs, and the mailman through it. LOL! Hadn't thought of that but yeah, it might be a bit 'awkward'. :)
