If by relatively tame you mean they like to play rough! then yes! lol. I don't like to go in there with Delilah especally because her mate died in Jan of '07, and ever since then she will be fine one minute, then the next she will just snap. Shamira's a lot more docile, but when she wants to play, she'll bat at you with her paws. And playing rough with a 400-700 lb animal (Shamira's 600lbs, believe it or not) means bloody noses and such. They really don't realize just how big they are, or how fragile us humans can be. We can't bring wheelbarrels around Shamira at all anymore, because when she was a kitten, the kids would put her in a wheel barrel and give her a ride around the yard. Well, now that she's full grown, as soon as she see's one she'll hop in it and want to go for a ride, but she ends up breaking it under her weight.
