Putin's Pussy: not a Riot

      Vlad the animal lover.  The Moscow press/media machine likes to portray its boss as a lover of all animals, especially endangered species such as the Siberian tiger.  You know the one: big head, big fangs, claws, whiskers a foot long, piercing yellow eyes, fast afoot, stealthy, dines on humans.  That's the one.
     The species was almost extinct due to hunting and poaching.   This particular big cat guy does some border jumping, getting into Chinese spaces, across the Amur river.  Our cat, called Kuzya, was recently released in the Russyan Far East in May of this year.  Their Far East is our Western Pacific, capisce?
    So the cat has territorial ambitions, like his ace benefactor, Mad Vlad.  He wants some Chinese real estate in which to roam around, maybe find a little pussycat.  But, alas, poachers are afoot in Sino territory where a tiger pelt can fetch $10000.  So, let's track the feline, keep him safe.   Scientists responsible for keeping tabs on Siberian tigers are nervous about dealing with Chinese border guards.  It will take some deft diplomacy to keep the peace while the striped animal moves about HIS chosen habitat, borders notwithstanding.
Tiger power: can he sell it?
