There’s no sign yet of the big cat named India -- except on Twitter. Though the situation remains a serious one, someone is having a little fun with the idea of a tiger on the loose, with a Twitter account now created for the animal.

The account, @HoustonTiger6, is identified as a parody account with hilarious tweets, references and gif responses related to the tiger.

The account has 30 followers as of Thursday and the bio reads: “Just a city kitty on the prowl.”
