Ladies and gents, we present to you the mighty king and queen of the jungle -- in all their wonderfully goofy glory! There's something so powerful when it comes to lions, and to see them being...well, more housecat-like, gives off such a warm fuzzy feeling.

I Can Has Moar Lions?

First of all, here's some lion memes and some lion fun facts to layer down "a base" of basic internet lion knowledge. Once that is done, learn some more and lion up about lions on Encyclopedia Britannica and Wikipedia's Lion page.  The Smithsonian lion page has some really great pictures of the magnificent beasts and South Africa's Kruger National Park and African Wildlife Foundation contain very detailed information about the diets, habits, habitat and other fun facts about lions. So does the San Diego Zoo, and Youtube has an amazing video of a 23-year old man that is best friends with a lion and other big cats. National Geographic has a very informative video explaining everything about lions and the Animal Fact Guide offers a simplified rundown of everything lion that is easy to teach to kids or to those just starting to learn about the big cats that happen to be king of the jungle.

Elena Alekhina is a Russian designer and doll artist from St. Petersburg who creates realistic pet toys from papier-mache and printed fabrics. But Elena doesn't stop at the creation process. She also takes her small cats and dogs for a tour in the city where she photographs them against the backdrop of the city's iconic landmarks- The Kazan Cathedral, Peter and Paul Fortress, Griboyedov canal and the Fontanka river. On her Instagram page, she even names them! As you'll scroll down, you will see there are sailor cats, portrait painters, travelers, and even a newly married couple among her toy pets.

The Wedge neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota, just became the coolest and most wholesome neighborhood ever. They know what people want and give it to them. Cats. 

This will be the 3rd year of this grand tour known as #CatsOfTheWedge. The tour is guided by Chet Wedgely, who was also the tour guide for the two previous seasons of the anticipated event.

According to their facebook page, "You won't want to miss the dramatic twists, like that time last year when a guy brought his cats out for the crowd and got locked out of his apartment... while holding two squirmy cats ready to escape. The cats got home safe, but our hearts never recovered."

The itinerary is simple, the cat fans meet at a park and then follow a route through the 'densest concentration of window cats known to exist in the Upper Midwest.'

Coolest. Event. Ever.
