Mon dieu!
So, there’s a tiger on the loose near Paris. After puss had been spotted by several people, they brought in specialist trackers. From the prints, they reckon it’s a young adult, a year and a half or so old. They’ve tracked it to a small wood near Montevrain, where they are lying in wait with tranq guns.
It’s a little strange they haven’t worked out where it came from. They’ve ruled out a circus that blew through town, but they mention a big cat park nearby. What’s so hard about *ring-ring* “‘Allo, are you meessing a poozycat?”
Spare the poor beastie a thought tonight. It might be reduced to eating Frenchmen to stay alive.
Another one for your browsing pleasure: the East Sussex Records Office has a new, awesome state-of-the-art facility called The Keep. Among their toys is a giant copystand for digitizing old maps and big books. Anyway, searchable database, lots of things online. Enjoy!

What would happen if they offered the little cat a Royale with cheese from the hamburger emporium, McDo?

Perhaps letting it fill up by dining on Frenchmen is a stalking tactic. Once sated on casse-croûte Parisienne, it will likely be full of the desire to surrender. After the third “sharpshooter” tranqs themself, the fourth will figure out which is the business end and shoot the laughing tiger.
I am thinking that the tiger might be on a mission for British Intelligence…

Maybe we could rent the tiger to come over here stateside and go to work on the excess population of coyotes that are running through folk’s backyards. Saw one trotting in front of the local police station here a few nights ago.
