Ah, now you metnion that little detals, I might have second thoughts.

Plus, I might not want that kitty to jump onto my bed. :eek:

I thought male ligers generally had manes? [This one does](http://www.sierrasafarizoo.com/animals/liger.htm).

Oh, and I want a pet liger, too!

Sometimes. But not always. In general, their manes, where present, are less full than that of a full lion.
