The International Olympic Committee. It’s the sports equivalent of the United Nations.

I’m betting the International Olympic Committee (because why would they ask the question?)

Maybe the tiger thought he was ‘in the soup’. “If you’re in the soup, you’re in trouble.” He really was only in a ‘ladle’ trouble.

Cats (from the smallest house cat all the way up to the largest Amur Tiger) attack prey from behind because their method of killing is a spine-severing bite to the neck. There are numerous cases of people staving off big cat attacks by the mere expedient of facing the animal and staring it down. Contrary to comic-strip mythology, cats of any kind do i>not like to be stared at eye-to eye. There may, however, be some individual variations where some cats will meet a stare, but in the vast majority of studied cases, staring eye-to-eye with a cat will make the animal look away and back down.Source: Cat Behavior by Paul Leyhausen, LC #QL737.C23 L4913, Dewey #599/.74428/045

The wife was more than a ‘ladle’ bit brave.

The snake is still as deceitful and devious as the serpent was in the Garden of Eden… but that’s another ‘tale’, albeit a true one.@Aaron,My comment is somewhat similar to your analogy in ‘Rose is Rose’.

I don’t call them kick-at-the-cats for nothing. (variation of kitty cat) No, I don’t actually go around kicking cats, but I know one man who did. One was meowing outside his bedroom windown one night. He finally had enough, walked out the door (barefooted), saw this shape in the dark, hauled off and kicked it. Immediately, he remembered where he had left the sledge-hammer the day before!

Nevertheless, it’s probably not as bad to kick the sledgehammer than to slam the foot with the sledgehammer.Sledgehammers that meow deserve what they get.

I know that some animals are more afraid of humans than humans are to them. But a tiger getting scared by a soup laddle??? Thats just plain weird. Usually a tiger would attack, right? Thats a miracle that he survived just by the tiger attack. I was reading about other animals that lure food with a scent or look. Its pretty interesting.
