But how dangerous could it possibly be? Walken recounts the lion as being like a well-trained dog, lazily sitting up when he would enter and wave his whip around. Even giving a little roar wasn't enough to shake the young Walken.
He took the job simply because he always loved cats. Of course, there are a million other professions that come to mind before taming lions if you simply loved the harmless little critters. Maybe look into being a vet? It's a shame he likened the African beast toFi a dog, though. He must have been pretty disappointed.
His love of cats mainly comes from their eating habits. He mentioned that cats always leave a little food at the bottom of the bowl while a dog will completely polish the entire thing off, licking the bottom to get it all. The last bit of food is like an offering, or a "thank-you," which is why he always leaves a bit of food when he eats.
What happens to the leftovers? He puts them on a pizza tray in his backyard for the possums, raccoons, and any other wild animal who needs a bite.
