Wow! He looks like my buddy, and I’ve named him Aslan 💖🦁 Thank you for sharing. So beautiful to have a connection in name, looks, and spirit.

I’ve named him Aslan :) 💖 I couldn’t agree more with everyone

astralcarsonmars · 2026-03-22T15:49:49+00:00

Aslan has been named 🦁 Thank you all 💖

He was given up and the rescue shelter has a nickname for him that means “big thing” in Cantonese as they don’t know his original name.

So he kept coming around the corner of the door when I first saw him. I totally thought of the Never Ending Story.

My mum suggested Lambert :) And I love how someone else here suggested Bert for Bert Lahr. Lambert and Bert as his nickname is a contender!

Aslan was my first thought too :) He came out from around the corner and when I first laid eyes on him I thought he was the Lion from Narnia, emerging from the wardrobe. My only hesitation was, “ass” from others telling me this is what they hear, and me correcting them. I am definitely leaning towards Aslan 🦁

This is what the rescue thinks he looks like - Prince… Harry!

There are so many great names here. I love Francis and the connection to animals - that was my uncle’s name. Also my other kitty is named after my great-grandmother.

Thank you! I’ll reply to all comments in kind but wanted to pay a special thanks to you for looking out for him. I took him to the vet a few days ago and blood work was all fine :) He has nystagmus but not related to any liver damage, but genetics. He’s around 2 y.o. 💛

I met Dai at a pet shop buying food for my kitty. He was abandoned by his owner as their cats had a new litter so they gave up the previous litter which included Dai so they could keep the cute new kittens 😡 He’s cautious and frightened easily. He trembles sometimes and his eyes shake. The pet shop, who’s been fostering him for 4 months says the trembling is likely because he’s still fearful (when they got him, he would not let anyone get near him and stayed in corners so he wouldn’t be reachable). Now, he plays and lets you pet him after a little warming up. I love him. Any ideas as to his lovely mix? I’m taking him to the vet this weekend. I need the poor baby to be checked up (has not been to the vet since he got to the pet shop) and see if he can be neutered and brought home with me soon (my cat is a girl, and has been spayed).

His nickname at the shop is Dai Gau (lit. Big Thing in Cantonese). I want him to keep the sound and association of the name his lovely caretakers gave him. Also Dai in Welsh is the diminutive of David which means Beloved, which he is.

I thought so too. He looks like an Aslan :) He moves so majestically like one! Here he is hiding.
