What not to do when you have a juvenile white tiger on your lap?

We were in Thailand in July of 2015. We visited Chiang Mai Night Safari. We had a blast there. The only one thing I wish we didn't do but I'm glad that we did since we never have to do it again was to let my kids take a picture with a white tiger on their laps.
 

It was a little glass room with a few cages with lion, tiger and white tiger cubs of varying sizes. You can choose to take a picture with which ever you like. I let my kids pick. They were all so cute and looked harmless. My kids picked a white tiger cub which happened to be the biggest one - and he was much bigger than he looks!
 

They told my kids to sit down and  put the tiger on their labs and handed my daughter a bottle, then it began...
 

Don't look in the eyes
Hold the bottle still
Don't talk
Don't move
No sudden movement
Stay the most still you can
Now smile...
 

I didn't even want to ask what will happen if my kids did anything wrong.
 

They should've posted a warning sign! Needless to say, I would never let my kids do anything like this ever again. Somehow I'm glad we did because the picture came out great and everybody is safe and sound!

Ha Ha, very cute - very funny! You did get an awesome picture, and you don't get a chance at a picture like that every day!

Don't feel bad, next week I'm taking my kids sky diving! lol just kidding!
