No Mane

As assumed, within a few weeks after being neutered, Cameron lost his mane. The young Lion didn’t seem to care about it at all. How do we know that he was happy? He was gaining weight which was not at all happening for him before. This meant he was showing some great improvements in his health. Also, there were others ways in which the couple was benefited by the process.

Calmer

The adorable feline, Cameron became so calm. He went through a lot of change after getting neutered but one thing that never changed was his love and care for Zabu. Even after years of staying together, he just can’t get over her. Also, losing his mane helped the calming process in some manner…

Relaxing Together

They live in a big home now. And the maneless Cameron finds it way more relaxing in the hot days. He loves to take bath with Zabu and later on relax next to their personal pond. The Big Cat Rescue team don’t recall a single time when these two aren’t together. 

Running Around

Compared to their previous cage, this new home is a lot bigger and this helped the couple tremendously. Their health improved and their genetical defect now bothers them less. They are definitely fighting with their flaws and still managing to live a happy life together.

Toys

“His favorite toy is a big yellow ring which he bats and pushes around his enclosure in the early morning and late afternoon. While it was sad to see Cameron lose his mane, it was completely worth it so that he could continue to live with his best friend Zabu,” the Big Cat Rescue team mentioned on their website.

The Big Cat Rescue team also mentioned, “while Cameron tries to sleep most of the day away (as lions do in the wild), Zabu is extremely energetic and is always pestering him to play. She’ll often give up on him and just run and jump and play with her big red ball or splash endlessly in her pool. Of course, that’s after she’s tired of playfully stalking her keepers or trying to spray the groups of visitors that stop by.”
