Lion was found malnourished six years ago and she rescued him. They were together every day until the African lion was put into this animal sanctuary.

Kitty Ping!
LOL LOL
Is that a cat or a rare calico hamster!? LOL
Great post!
I pinged this one a while back, thanks.
Now that is neat!
This one from Columbia?
I remember that we had this one but it was a different lion and a different rescuer ... some guy with a female lion and cub.

Oh how did you do that!? Thank you so much. I know how to post pictures but not video yet. Thank you!
Remarkable!
When you see something like this, you can’t help but wonder exactly how sentient these creatures are.
They are obviously not simple machines, they have habits, likes, dislikes, preferences, and even memories.
Truly astounding to see such a powerful beast act like a young, playful kitten, with such affection.
Remarkable is absolutely dead-on. And what’s even more incredible is that so many people just don’t see it at all, not with cats, not with dogs, not with birds or hamsters or any other critter in God’s kingdom and they go about their lives with no clue. It’s sad. They miss out on so much that we critter owners experience every single day in such small ways. To see this wonderful, powerful beast reduced to near tears if he could cry ... yet he’s so careful with her, to not hurt her for all his massive girth and strength ... it’s truly amazing. What are we missing by NOT treating animals as intelligent as they are?
I hadn’t seen this photo!! GREAT one! Thanks, Lady Jag! (he even closes his eyes as he’s smooched! LOL)
Did you see Martin-Fierro’s film? It was the post I replied to. He sure appears to be a loving guy...
Thanks for the ping! I love cats..of all sizes.
We are missing much too much, but the "experts" don't know that.
When I was six, I asked the vet a question I already knew the answer to, can dogs smile. He said they couldn't because they don't have the muscles for it.
Maintain a healthy skepticism and trust your intuition.
And love of all sizes...
Do you mean of the lion hugging the lady?
only in cartoons do lions eat sushi!
