Cat called the King of the Jungle though it’s not a jungle animal

The King of the Jungle? Think Again! 🦁

This week’s crossword clue has me scratching my head (and maybe even shedding a few tears, if I’m being honest). It’s one of those classic trick questions that makes you question everything you thought you knew about the animal kingdom.

The clue reads:

Cat called the King of the Jungle though it’s not a jungle animal.”

Now, we all know the image that comes to mind when we hear “King of the Jungle”: a majestic lion, roaring atop a rocky outcrop. But this clue is playing a bit of a mind game. It’s tempting to go straight for the obvious answer, but there’s a twist!

This particular feline isn’t found roaming the savannas of Africa. It actually prefers a more domestic setting, often lounging on plush cushions and batting at dangling toys.

So, where does this “King of the Jungle” reside? What kind of cat are we talking about? Let me know in the comments if you have any guesses, and we’ll work through this together! Don’t forget to share your own tricky crossword clues, too!
