Cats are cats, from the majestic tiger to the house cat.
By the way, while in Florida, a friend and I visited the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa. One of the best zoos in the US, IMHO.
Also, if you are into the big cats, tour the Big Cat Rescue, also in Tampa. As the name says, these big cats are rescues, usually from dopes who acquire them as pets and then can't or won't take care of them.
