Hi everyone, it’s Robbie Cheadle here with you today with my February post in the Nature Photography section on LatinosUSA – English Edition. Today, I am showcasing Wild and Domestic Cats.

If you have a window/s photograph to share in the Buildings & Architecture section, please email me at cheadlerobbie@gmail.com and use the title Photography – Buildings & Architecture. Please also include a short write up about your photograph.

Talented blogger, Resa of Graffiti Lux Art & More blog, shares a marvelous post featuring a mural with several wild cats. You can read her post here: https://graffitiluxandmurals.com/2026/02/11/cats-the-big-ones/

Resa’s post inspired me to showcase cats for this month’s Nature photograph challenge.

Young Male Lion by Robbie Cheadle

During a recent short trip to Fifty-seven Waterberg in Welgevonden Private Game Reserve, we had a terrific sighting of this young male lion. He was mating for his first time with a young lioness and was completely focused on her.

I named him Angel. He showed up in the backyard, he was very thin and clearly without a home one evening seven years ago. He lived under the shed where I fed him regularly for about a year. Then he just disappeared after about 10 months, one morning he showed up begging for something to eat, he now looked like this. I moved from that area 2 years ago, I saw him just before I left, he was healthy, strong still very loving, sweet and independent.

    Love this, Robbie. Your lion pics are fabulous. I just adore all your wildlife shots and videos.

    There’s never too many cat posts.

    Angel is a beauty. He could live here, if he was nearby.

    Thanks for the shout out, and all you do!

    The photos are outstanding, Robbie. I too love the big cats. Maybe because I am a Leo. Thanks for sharing.
