MY RATING Summary

Big Floppa Cat with its characteristic ice-cold look seems more scary than adorable, perhaps because I already know how much these wild cats do hissing.
And that for me is quite scary.
Imagine that even Mike Tyson himself wasn’t a big fan of Caracals, even if he likes tigers, which he owned a couple of.

But I guess that’s the appeal he got from his fans that I don’t quite get, which is that he’s such a badass.

I do think that the fictional universe that was created around him is hilarious, though, with him being a rapper with an album and hit song and all.
And him having so many alter ego with different stories.
