The Sunbeam Sovereign

Your Leo cat knows they are the main character. They pose in the sunbeam as if it were a spotlight, sit in the exact middle of the rug and make an entrance every time they walk into a room. Ruled by the Sun, they are warm, generous with their affection and completely sure that everyone came here to see them.

Leo is fixed fire, so their pride runs steady and their loyalty runs deep. They play to an audience, glow with praise and save their best head bumps for the people they have chosen as their court. Adore them out loud, every day, and they will adore you right back.
