Uhmm, aren't we taking this "Wildcat Pride" thing just a bit too far?

Kentucky family fights to keep pet lion

MELVIN, Ky. (AP) — Amid a backdrop of colorful swingsets, clunky cars and giggling kids, a beast with a thick mane and daunting eyes paces in his cage.

To some around this small Appalachian town, he's a frightening menace. To others, he's the local mascot, a novelty.
But to the Collins family, he's "Kitty," their beloved pet lion.

"That's my kid," said 22-year-old Melissa Collins, a married mother of three, as she pet [sic] Kitty through his 300-square-foot chain-link cage. [...]

No word if any of the parties involved are related to Skillzy's friend, "The Kentuckian." Or to "Mother of The Kentuckian."
