> I think the imagery of a tiger works quite well: a stalking, murdering animal that will strike when their prey is most vulnerable or least expect it. They can appear like soft, fluffy, playful cats on the outside, but like most carnivores, they simply cannot survive for long without killing other animals. They are also almosg always alone when they're not raising offspring, which is not necessarily something you'd want to associate yourself with as a human. That's an interesting take actually. I never considered it like that, because often these types of mothers pride themselves on being "tiger mum" that protect their "cubs". In my head that was always simply wrapping an abusive reality into a cute narrative.
