    He's so gorgeous! I read about ligers, apparently the gene which limits growth is present only in male tigers and female lions. Hence a tigon grows to a normal size, but ligers keep growing all their lives. And as we can see he is already one big kitty! How on earth could you make a cat-flap that big?

    He is gorgeous!

    I've heard about ligers before, and I think my grandma emailed me something else about them too. They are very beautiful!
