BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU
What started like a joke during a neighborhood discussion
later turned out to be true as at least three witnesses have confirmed the existence of domestic cats
believed to be the size of Baby Tigers ,Cheetahs, Caracals, leopard, Jaguar,Lion
amongst other flesh eating carnivores.
Checks at The News office Desk of the E.N.M.Paedia Express
Multimedia Group of Lagos,Nigeria shows that several domesticated but wild
looking cats could be found strolling roof tops ,ceilings of various houses at
night at the quiet looking neighborhood of Olufemi Ajayi Street off College
Road in Ifako- Ijaiye ,Lagos,Nigeria .
Several sources listed names of households where these big
cats could be found while stating that the animals were quite friendly except
if an intruder decides to deliberately offend them .
A source noted that she was aware that the big cats usually
hunt for food within the neighborhood but quickly added that at night they do
have the potentials to roam very far and wide in search of food .
Cats belong to the Family Felidae and they live a life of
hunting ,killing and eating of other animals .
Cats hunt alone at dusk or at night as they pounce on their
preys ,however several large cats eventually become man eaters.
Most wild cats are larger than domestic cat as early man
captured and tamed wild cats and made
them domesticated animals globally.
They were likely domesticated in ancient Egypt in and around
1300 B.C. according to the Oxford African Encyclopedia ,page 114 revelations.
