“When I look at Alex, I can’t help thinking of The Lion King. With his enormous red-and-white mane, proud profile, and those big, gentle paws, he looks as though he stepped straight out of the Pride Lands. But his true magic is so much quieter. Alex seems to know when someone needs a little comfort, and he’ll settle nearby with that wonderfully soothing purr of his.
To me, he’s our gentle giant — all the presence of a lion and all the tenderness of a family cat. If his kittens inherit even a little of that kind, steady heart, it will be a beautiful part of his legacy.”
