I saw this and was BESIDE myself. Literally! It seems SO scary but, if you know me and my love of cats, so cuddly! Bold and daring, YES. Fascinating, YES! Risky? YES! Interesting? Very. So I had to share. Is it relevant to any of our lives? Probably not! But it was the wildest most amazing thing I had seen in a long time, I couldn’t resist sharing!
So, if I took a survey of most Americans and asked what kind of pet do they have, I’ll bet the top replies would be a dog, a cat (ME ME ME!!!), a bird (yes, we have that too!), or a fish (yup…. thanks to the Dear Hubby, we JUST got one of those). A few reptiles, I’m sure, some in the rodent family, too, we might hear about. But, how about a LION? Have you EVERRRRRR???? Well, I think your jaw will drop when you see this! Key words: DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME! HA!
Actress Melanie Griffith had a PET LION growing up. Here are some very candid shots with her as a girl with Togar, her kitty.
“Brrrrr! I was cold! Thank you for getting my blankie, Melanie!” “I love you Togar.”
“I can’t sleep, can you?”
….. taking a cat-nap. Don’t mind me!
“Mom, do we have any good treats? I’m hungry.”
“…..zzzzzzzzzzzzz”
“I was THIRSTY!!!!!”
“I love you Melanie.” “I love you too, Togar.”
When I think of actress Melanie Griffith, this is not what I think of. But I was fascinated by this and thought to myself I HAD to share with all my friends! I’m very amused by random things in life, and this is one of them. You can read more about it here.
Seriously…she really had a pet tiger- craziness.
Hi Irene! These photos are really cool! I recently read that her mother, Tippi Hedren, from Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds”, runs a big cat sanctuary for former pets / hollywood cats. This makes Melanie Griffith seem so much more interesting! And she gets to be married to Antonio Banderas! 🙂
Yes, she has this big cat thing going on! And apparently she and Mr. Banderas are doing A-OK! Lucky gal!
I know, right? I always look at those beautiful beasts wondering how cool it would be to cuddle, but for REAL? I know this was COMPLETELY random, but I loved how crazy awesome it was in a wild way and had to post it! xoxo
