Last week I shared one of my Little Cats.
This week I'd like to share with you one of my favorite Big Cats.
This is Jonathan and he is magnificent.
He has a story. He was raised as a pet and then got too big.
(Well, DUH!)
He was lucky. The Houston Zoo had room for him and now he lives here.
The lions have a wonderful area to roam.
This is their door. Really cool.
The gate lowers (where the keeper is standing).
From here the keepers can *play* with the lions.
They go through different commands.
This one makes Jon stand on his hind legs
and allows the keepers to check his belly area.
Jon was declawed by his former owner.
Occasionally Callista will swipe Jon a good one!
Jonathan, the King!
We took this picture last week.
For those who have cats, this pose will look familiar!
Life is good!
Thanks for stopping by.
Have a great weekend.
