In Bandhavgarh India, I had the opportunity to visit the national parks and take (multiple) safaris through the tiger reserve. All creatures there are free to roam, with the exception of a few unconnected fence lines intended to deter the big cats from the local villages.

We enjoyed the unforgettable experience of sighting several wild tigers, including a couple of cubs. Aside from the awe of their beauty, large cats are truly fascinating creatures.
I learned from one of the locals, a tiger that had passed the fence and wandered into the village. On one such occasion, this tiger returned back to the rainforest and over the 20’ fence… with a full grown bull caught in the grips of his jaw.
Cats are strong, powerful creatures. The largest of their species have no natural predators. Even house cats are agile and fierce. According to Professor John Huntington, domestic cats’ posture is ‘almost indistinguishable’ from that of a big cat, they can jump almost five times their height, and are incredibly flexible.
Many correlations have been made between felines and females. I choose to embrace that.
Women are strong, powerful creatures. Our prowess, determined natures and adventurous spirits help us to conquer the day. We are agile and fierce, and can accomplish unbelievable things.

We are flexible, and can adapt to our surroundings. We are independent, and don’t require support on the battlefields of life. We are designed as sleek, magnificent creatures by God’s hand.
On the inside, live your life unforgettably. Embrace your wild and untamed nature, and fiercely protect those you love. On the outside, wear leopard print. It feels good to be in your own skin. Meow.
