Taming My Inner Lion

Not That Mike The Other Mike5 Comments

I know I’m just a lowly housecat, but deep down I feel like I was meant to be a lion. I can just see myself crouching in the tall grass, leaping at unsuspecting prey, then basking in the sun after the hunt. Basically the stuff I do as a cat, only bigger.
