Napping and Cuddling With a Lion
You might remember that a couple of weeks ago, we ran a retrospective on sleeping cats, which required little justification given how self-evidently cute sleeping cats are. But we do feel the need to reiterate that a large part of what makes things cute is size, i.e. small equals cute. This is why our retrospective mainly featured kittens and small cats.
Now, far be it from us to suggest that Shanta the lioness here isn't cute. We would never say that, mainly because we don't want to risk offending her and catching a clawed pat to the face or a fanged maw to the jugular. But then, that's just it. If cute and terrifying can coexist, than that's what's happening right here. Because as cuddly as a sleepy lion looks strictly upon surface-level observation, our basic knowledge of the animal kingdom lets us know we wouldn't want to wake up from a nap with the queen of the jungle snoozing on top of us. Even if she licked our faces to let us know everything is copacetic, we wouldn't risk hugging her back. There are rules about these things.
