These cat collars are perfect for anyone who has ever wanted a lion as a pet but doesn't want to deal with the feedings, clean-up and inevitable mauling that comes with being a lion owner.

Fortunately, there's a much safer alternative to keeping a lion in the neighborhood, and it comes in the form of the mane cat collars from [Toronto Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taylor-swiftthemed-cats) seller Kristine W. While the cat in the pictures doesn't look too happy about being a king-of-the-jungle replica, when have you ever seen a lion look happy outside of a well-known [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primark-the-lion-king) cartoon?

The cat collars are available in a variety of different colors and fur configurations to customize your cat's lion mane to your liking. The last thing you want out of a fake lion mane is to have it clash with your cat's fur.
