Visitors panicked when a stray cat slipped into the lion enclosure.Everyone braced for the worst, until the lions ran toward him, purring.
At a zoo in China, an orange street cat calmly walked into the pen and was greeted like royalty. Keepers later explained that years ago, when the lion cubs were rescued from poachers, they found a tiny orange kitten hiding in the same crate. They raised him together in the nursery, and he never left their side.
Now the lions are fully grown, but the cat still eats with them, naps between their paws, and bosses them around like he owns the place. One zookeeper smiled and said,
“He doesn’t see lions. He sees his family. And they see him as their own.”
