I agree what is wrong is that the cat could reach the person at all;
but my cats run and play all day, they burn off enough energy to get
10 lbs for a 1 1/2 yr tiger and 4 lbs for 2 130 lb cougars.  That is
what I don't like about zoos.  Many of them don't get stimulation and
do just lie around all day.

Our least active cat, a lion, gets 8 pounds of Nebraska 6 days/week. Our
two largest cats, a lion and a liger each get 14 pounds, although the
lion will be backed off to 12 pounds as soon as his weight is where we
would like it. The cats don't 'run and play' all day, but our climate
here is harsher.
