Often referred to as the "Lion King of Albufeira", this adorable cat was the head of a eat colony in the region. Viewed from a distance, he appeared to be a king, sitting on a wall.

No one knew on which day he was born, so his caretakers decided to celebrate his birthday on World Animal Day on October 4th.

One of his eyes was open and purulent (有脓的), with no sign of an eyeball......Despite all of his problems, he was a strong-minded and happy cat.
