On this night, the lion does not sleep.
...as well as most nights, since we tend to be more active in the twilight hours and at night.

Watch where you tread. Approach a lion in his home and he may not take too kindly to your presence. Cats are known for being silent, agile, and strong. Ever the curious type, this lion would much rather investigate first and pounce later. However, not all wanderers are benign. One must remain ever cognizant of the dangers that lurk in the darkness. Caution is better than immediate trust... but on the same paw - sugar is more attractive than vinegar. We all tread the line of contradiction, attempting to ascertain our best approach.
Perhaps, the best approach is the most genuine one.
And on this night... I was very tired, when I was awoken from a sudden visitor. Agitation is genuine, but it is not inherently unfriendly... unless if you too, are unfriendly.
