It certainly has been a bad month to be a tiger. First, my beloved baseball variety lose a American League record 119 games. Then, one heroic cat mauls Roy (I can hear you wincing. I really believe that, though. Poor thing, forced to "perform"). Then one is carted out of a Harlem apartment with a gaggle of media onlookers.

I don't know if it made national news, but a guy in Harlem was keeping an adult tiger and an alligator in his one bedroom apartment. In case you're wondering, that's not legal. Manhattan User Guide wants to remind us that you also can't keep polar bears, bandicoots or dolphins (just to name a few).
