Big Cat Love

A couple of big cats made the news this week:

• Goliath (a.k.a. Hercules) is so big that he was caught stealing cat food out of a woman's garage when he got stuck in her cat door! Fortunately, the publicity generated by the story helped reunite him with his owner.
• Jupiter, an abused circus lion, was rescued by a Columbian woman who he adores completely if his hugs and kisses are any indication. My favorite shot of him is on this week's Animal Tracks slideshow on MSNBC.com.
