Ahh, so much for the mascara!

You know... I was kind of hoping that the cat turned feral and took them out. Heart-warming.

He travelled by Bentley, ate in fine London restaurants and spent his days lounging in a furniture shop. The story of Christian the pet lion - and his eventual release into the wild - is as moving as it is incredible.
The furniture shop was on the King's Road in London. It sold tables, wardrobes, chairs and desks - but anybody peering through its plate-glass window on a Sunday might have noticed something rather more unusual.
Amid all the pine and oak, stretched out languidly on a bench, there was a lion. And it wasn't stuffed.-

Thanks shroomfairy & BoogieCruz!
It's SUCH an amazing story. I contacted Netflix to see if they can add the movie. I doubt it since it's from 1971 but hopefully they can get it.
Anyone have any idea where else I could get it? -
I hope I can also find the entire movie, it is such a sweet story!
