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.

How do you do, fellow lions?

A dark gray parrot rests its head on a rock. The top of parrot's beak is partially missing.

It’s because my face says “Don’t mess with me.”
