Enzo Is The Cat's Whiskers
South African businessman Michael Jamison's house cat is no ordinary pet - for 'Enzo' is a 150kg Bengal tiger.
One-year-old Enzo lives with Michael and his girlfriend Jackie at their home in Brakpan.
And one glance at the furniture is enough to reveal that the couple's cat is no ordinary one.
However, Jackie comments: "Each thing he chews through is worth it. He is very spoilt and full of nonsense. He is our baby".
Michael adds: "I wanted a tiger and then I got one".
According to Jackie, a mischievous Enzo is always getting up to all kinds of trouble in and around the house.
While Michael and Jackie may love Enzo, his arrival at their house caused something of a stir.
Not long after they go him they found the emergency services, police and officers from the department of nature conservation on their doorstep.
Michael comments: "Everybody wanted to come and rescue the tiger". However, after officials found nothing amiss Enzo was allowed to stay.
He now sleeps with Michael in his bed, has a cat box and enjoys eating on the kitchen counter.
He gets bottle-fed twice a day as well as consuming around 4kg of meat.
A typical lunch sees him eating rice with chicken or mince alongside Michael's three dogs, with whom he is best of friends.
According to Michael, Enzo is also partial to canned dog food too.
As well as always dreaming of owning a tiger, another reason Michael decided to get Enzo was due to the fact he has been targeted twice by armed robbers.
"I feel much safer with Enzo in the house than without him," he explains.
Enzo's nails were removed at a very young age, but now Michael and Jackie are facing a new problem - big cat teeth.
"We are open to any suggestions or advice," says Michael, who is in regular communication with his local ve...

'TIGER MAN'S FINAL MARATHON' VIDEO: https://vimeo.com/163526201
After 13 marathons with a 10ft tiger on his back, extensive Achilles heel surgery and with a passion for the fate of tigers that "keeps him awake at night", Paul Goldstein is about to attempt his 'last ever' marathon in London this Sunday.
Previously, the 53-year-old campaigner has done four marathons in one week, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, and, in 2014, ran the Brighton marathon, before proceeding to London on foot to take part in the marathon there - all with the plush aluminium-framed predator strapped to his body.
Indeed, as BBC presenter Chris Packham recently commented: "Paul is a stupid age to be running marathons in a tiger suit, but today Cambodia lost its last tiger, Paul just cannot countenance that happening in India and continues to punish himself with this quest".

'TIGER MAN'S FINAL MARATHON' VIDEO: https://vimeo.com/163526201
After 13 marathons with a 10ft tiger on his back, extensive Achilles heel surgery and with a passion for the fate of tigers that "keeps him awake at night", Paul Goldstein is about to attempt his 'last ever' marathon in London this Sunday.
Previously, the 53-year-old campaigner has done four marathons in one week, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, and, in 2014, ran the Brighton marathon, before proceeding to London on foot to take part in the marathon there - all with the plush aluminium-framed predator strapped to his body.
Indeed, as BBC presenter Chris Packham recently commented: "Paul is a stupid age to be running marathons in a tiger suit, but today Cambodia lost its last tiger, Paul just cannot countenance that happening in India and continues to punish himself with this quest".

Animal Charity and London's Wildlife Police Join Forces
Today London Metropolitan wildlife police have been given a financial boost in their efforts to stamp out crime in the city.
For the first time ever a charity has directly funded a Metropolitan Police Service unit.
The Wildlife Crime Unit and the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) have formalised a partnership at a press launch today.
The launch held at City Hall also featured a one-off interactive display of the Wildlife Crime Unit's seized items, which included a stuffed ten-day-old tiger cub, three metre long Polar Bear skin, Rhino horns worth GBP 200,000 and coats made from skins of a Snow Leopard and Tiger.
The capital's wildlife criminals may have hoped the recession would push the police unit into closure but an intervention from an animal welfare charity will see the unit gain more staff as well as resources to train up the next generation of specialist enforcement officers as its current cops near retirement.
During the day people are encouraged to pick up these extremely rare items- as they highlight the animals welfare impact that wildlife crime has had on the world's most charismatic animals.
Sergeant Ian Knox who was at the launch today is Head of the Metropolitan Police Wildlife Crime Unit, he said: "I am delighted that the World Society for the Protection of Animals has decided to contribute a significant amount of money to the Wildlife Crime Unit.
"The extra staff will pay for more staff so we can be proactive in targeting criminals who seek to exploit animals for financial gain.
"We will also be able to provide additional support and training to Wildlife Crime Officers across London which will ensure that the Met has the capability to tackle crimes against animals in the future."

Mother tiger gives cubs a wash by licking them at Parc des Felins zoo, Seine-et-Marne, France - 11 Jan 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Eric Cunha/Solent News / Rex Features (1537910e)
Lick It Or Not, You're Having A Wash
This mother gave new meaning to the term 'tongue lashing' when she collared her cubs for a bath.
The young siberian tigers seemed eager to squirm away as they were hauled in for a clean.
But their mum was determined to get the job done and, at one point, even used her massive paws to pin one of her mischievous offspring down.
The big cat showed who was boss as she gave each one a good licking - despite their unimpressed expressions.
The tender moments between the rare tigers were captured by photographer Eric Cunha at French zoo Parc des Felins in Seine-et-Marne.
The 41-year-old spent several days photographing the tigers in their enclosures.
He said: "Each enclosure is between two and five hectares and it can sometimes be difficult to observe the animals.
"I used very long telephoto lenses to get these shots.
"I've had a great reaction to the pictures. People are amazed by the tenderness these big cats show to their babies".

Sumatran tiger Bandra opens a Christmas present at Paignton Zoo, Devon, Britain - 09 Dec 2011
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Richard Austin / Rex Features (1518550g)
Christmas Comes Early For Tiger Bandra
It would appear that Christmas has come early for one tiger at Paignton Zoo in Devon.
Sumatran tiger Bandra appeared overjoyed when a large red parcel appeared in her enclosure.
The animal-friendly gift was made of paper painted with food colouring and finished off with a hessian ribbon.
Although it was most likely the meaty gift inside that had Banda so excited.
The hungry tiger wasted no time in clawing the parcel to pieces, and in her eagerness she even appeared to get the box stuck on her head.
However, with a little thrashing around she managed to dislodge it and eventually emerged triumphant with her prize gripped between her teeth.
The early Christmas present was all part of the Paignton's environmental enrichment programme, which aims to stimulate the animals mentally and physically.
Zoo spokesperson Phil Knowling said: "It's like giving toys to your pets at home - it's just that toys for rhinos and tigers have to be bigger and tougher!"

B2 tiger, Bandhavgarh National Park, India - Mar 2011
Manadatory Credit: Photo by Exodus/Paul Goldstein / Rex Features (1499497g)
The $20m Tiger: World Famous Big Cat B2 Dies
B2, probably one of the most famous wild predators in the world, died in India's Bandhavgarh National Park on Monday (21 Nov).
The 15-year-old male passed away from injuries sustained after a territory dispute with a new male.
He had been spotted limping on 18 November and was tranquilised by veterinary experts two days later.
Bandhavgarh Reserve Field Officer C.K. Patil said: "The postmortem suggests it to be a case of natural death of an old tiger which has completed its lifetime.
"There were injury marks at four places which were 8-10 days old and the tiger's stomach was empty. The stomach had hairs of wild boar which suggested that the tiger has not eaten anything for the past 8-10 days."
Exodus tour guide and wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein explains the significance of the loss, both to the species and the economy of the region:
"More tourists have enjoyed this tolerant tiger than probably any other striped predator. Ranthambore National Park, north west of this park, has Machali - always called the $10m tiger. Machali was actually the name of two cats, mum and daughter and it is calculated they bought more income to that park than anything else. What price B2? He must have doubled that as he has been park alpha male for ten years and sired many cubs, ironically including the one that led to his demise. A whole infrastructure of guides, rangers, lodges and schools are based around tigers in this park and none was more of a meal ticket than B2.
"He was the first male tiger I saw in the park in 1999. I saw him many times since then and for the last time in March. He looked his years, but still magnificent, tolerant to the end.
"He has died in natural circumstances, savage but natural circumstances. The grim reaper's scythe is indiscrim...

The $20m Tiger: World Famous Big Cat B2 Dies
B2, probably one of the most famous wild predators in the world, died in India's Bandhavgarh National Park on Monday (21 Nov).
The 15-year-old male passed away from injuries sustained after a territory dispute with a new male.
He had been spotted limping on 18 November and was tranquilised by veterinary experts two days later.
Bandhavgarh Reserve Field Officer C.K. Patil said: "The postmortem suggests it to be a case of natural death of an old tiger which has completed its lifetime.
"There were injury marks at four places which were 8-10 days old and the tiger's stomach was empty. The stomach had hairs of wild boar which suggested that the tiger has not eaten anything for the past 8-10 days."
Exodus tour guide and wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein explains the significance of the loss, both to the species and the economy of the region:
"More tourists have enjoyed this tolerant tiger than probably any other striped predator. Ranthambore National Park, north west of this park, has Machali - always called the $10m tiger. Machali was actually the name of two cats, mum and daughter and it is calculated they bought more income to that park than anything else. What price B2? He must have doubled that as he has been park alpha male for ten years and sired many cubs, ironically including the one that led to his demise. A whole infrastructure of guides, rangers, lodges and schools are based around tigers in this park and none was more of a meal ticket than B2.

Golden bengal tiger appears to play pat-a-cake with little girl at Cougar Mountain Zoo, Washington, America - 30 Oct 2011
Manadatory Credit: Photo by Dyrk Daniels/Solent News / Rex Features (1487548c)
A Moment Of Paws
These breathtaking photographs capture the remarkable moment a tiger bowed its head and placed a paw up to the hand of a small girl.
Photographer Dyrk Daniels noticed the 370lb Golden Bengal Tiger had taken an interest in the child who was leaning against its glass enclosure.
As the tiger, called Taj, headed over Dyrk got his camera ready expecting him to snarl and bang against the glass.
But amazingly the tiger stretched a paw out to where the child's hand rested and also rubbed his cheek against where he face was.
Father-of-two Dyrk, 47, from Washington, America, said: "I was with another photographer and we were both eager to photograph the Bengal tigers.
"There were several kids and family in the area, so I decided to let them have the chance to see the tigers up close first, before I tried taking photos of the cats.
"That is when I noticed this little girl was leaning against the glass with both hands out stretched staring at the "big kitties".
"I noticed that Taj had taken an interest in the girl and was heading towards her.
"I thought for certain that the little girl would need therapy after the encounter and fear cats for the rest of her life.
"I could not believe my eyes when Taj approached the girl, bowed his head and then placed his huge right paw exactly in front of where the little girl's left hand was.
"It was incredible to watch. Taj let down his right paw, rubbed his cheek against the glass where the little girl's face was and moved off."
Aerospace engineer Dyrk took the photographs at Cougar Mountain Zoo in Washington.
He added: "The little girl was so excited when she turned around and started clapping as she walked towards her mother.
"I have never seen such tenderness from such a large predator."
