The Lion King

Beechwood Cemetery

This beautiful cat popped up as Cleo and I were walking past a rockpile on the edge of the cemetery. Entirely focused on Cleo, he was not remotely interested in running away. Unfortunately, there were a number of migrating sparrows nearby and I suspect that was his goal... I know not all will agree, but I believe cats should be kept inside, safer for them and safer for birds and small mammals.

Feral cats are a massive problem for Australian wildlife.

He is gorgeous! Excellent shot. ~BV~

Beautiful shot. He does look like he's surveying his kingdom. I also agree with you that house cats should be kept indoors. Better for them and better for the wildlife.

I agree that the birds should be saved.

A cute hunter lion! V

He's definitely a hunter... great capture!

Great shot and title. I suspect you're correct and he was not happy at having his hunting disturbed. At first glance I thought it was a lynx from the thumbnail!

That tiny bell isn’t going to save a bird. I have a soft spot for orange and white cats though - Peaches and Cream lived a happy 13 years with us.

He's a handsome devil! Hopefully the bell will help protect the birds.

He definitely has a threatening look on his face. Great catch. V.

Definitely a feral expression. Good he's wearing a bell.

This one has a bell around his neck, will never catch a bird. He's gorgeous
