From Neatorama..

People in Cali, Colombia, are shocked to see the bond between a large
African lion and a woman who saved it from abuse, involving long,
affectionate kisses and hugs between the pair.

Ana Julia Torres, who runs the Villa Lorena animal shelter in Cali, fed
and nursed Jupiter the African lion back to health years ago after it
was found abused and emaciated in a traveling circus. "It is
amazing to see an animal like that be so sweet and affectionate," said
Torres. "This hug is the most sincere one that I have received in my
life."

i would really love a big kitty!!!! not that this wild animal doesn't still possess killer instincts, but you can see that he really shows some genuine kitty attention to her.

I'd hate that actually. Because we become their ragdolls.

I dont know about you, but i suddenly got the OMGAWD shes about to get pwned uber style. Pardon the internetese, its the only way i could express my sincere awe at this. But gladly i was mistaken! At first i was like this is in the CUTE section? My thought was "Some were something has gone seriously wrong." But it was just a hug, at first i thought she was a just egging the lion on, and then a hug!

That was truly something strange, you wont see that often.
