Listen to our report and browse our photos. Audio and Video links on this page require Realplayer  Buster and Lucy Buster, an example of the rare Bengal tiger, was abandoned by his mother at West Midlands Safari Park. Local vet Lucy Pearsall adopted him when he was only two days old and Buster and Lucy now live together - along with her four domestic cats! Buster is now completely house trained and has even learnt to use the cat flap. "He's doubled in size and is roughly about 10kg now," said his 'new mum' Lucy. "So he's roughly about the size of a small dog.  Buster having a nibble! "He's getting quite fiesty now but still just wants to play with the cats. He goes out and runs around in the garden. It's just like having a dog really. I don't want to give him up!" BBC WM's Jo Grant popped along to meet Buster - and it wasn't long before he had her claws into her, so to speak. He even tried to give her a few quotes!
