Welcome to the Jungle

September 12, 2018 By: Summer Samba56 Comments

somali cat out in yard on leash

I’ve decided to get a little wild for today’s blog post!

somali cat with lion mane cat costume

See what I mean? The photo of me at the pet store wearing that lion mane was such a big hit, that my human decided to find one for me that fit better. So she looked around on Amazon, and found one that got lots of complaints for being too small. She knew that was the one for me and she ordered it. She was right — it fits perfectly!

Of course I can’t just sit around on a table and be a real lion — I have to go on the prowl!

Hm. Something tells me I’m not as intimidating as I want to be.

Maybe I will look more feral in a closeup. Or maybe not.

Okay, I’m done being a lion. I want to go back to being a kitty. Can I have a treat now?

    The last pic looks like something you’ve killed and hunted and now you are displaying it to your mom.

    I can’t believe how that mane really blends with your fur. Your mom did a great job picking it out.

    Purrz and WROAW! (Is that roar spelling? I think MK could do better – I mean, she’s the ex-writer here.)

    Purrz!

    Summer, you are such a good kitty, I see blood and tears with even the calmest household kitty, lol. You are so unique with many talents. I was laughing out loud, you are sooooooo adorably fierce 🙂 I love it

    you don’t look really intimidating, Summer. Perhaps that is a good thing, as you don’t want to frighten your cat therapy patients!

    That is too cute! Piper doesn’t tolerate costumes AT ALL so once I photoshopped a lion’s mane on him. I think he thinks he’s a real lion!

    You should be on Broadway as the “real” star of the ‘Cats’ Musical! Maybe you could be the director of costumes, too!

    Summer, your human should have cloned out the leash. You look like a real lion although a tame one. You needed to ROAR in one of the pics.

    Beautiful…..and scary too. I would certainly be afraid if I met you out in the back yard (and I didn’t have
    any treats on hand). You should definitely wear this for at least part of Halloween day. Prettiest lion I have
    ever seen.
