The Sunbeam Sovereign
Your Leo cat knows he is the main character. He poses in the sunbeam as if it were a spotlight, sits in the exact middle of the rug and makes an entrance every time he walks into a room. Ruled by the Sun, he is warm, generous with his affection and completely sure that everyone came here to see him.
Leo is fixed fire, so his pride runs steady and his loyalty runs deep. He plays to an audience, glows with praise and saves his best head bumps for the people he has chosen as his court. Adore him out loud, every day, and he will adore you right back.
