Zara the lion cub and Arnie the house cat...


With whiskers entwined and their furry bodies snuggled close, Zara and Arnie make a purrfect couple.

Unfortunately, the best friends are set for a rude awakening.

Very soon Zara the lion cub will have to say goodbye to her male companion Arnie the ginger tom cat.

After six weeks together, Zara is set to leave the confines of her comfy home to start a new life in Africa. But Arnie will not be going with her.
