MOST people don’t mind if their pet cat curls up at the foot of their bed — but this man has his pet lion sharing the duvet.

Zulkaif Chaudhary, 33, from Multan City, Pakistan, bought the cub six months ago, and has let the king of the jungle have free rein of his home.

Chaudhary happily allows his furry friend free run of the family’s plush bungalow — where he has his own king-size bed with double mattress and air conditioning.

Despite having a 2-year-old son, he says he’ll never chain the lion — who he treats like a dog.

Chaudhary said, “He is like my child. He was 2 months old when I got him. He has been living with me for six months. I love lions a lot and I felt like taking care of one. I never discussed with my family and just got him and then told them.

“But they all were very happy to see him. They all come to meet him every day.

“I’m not worried that he will attack us. Even my son comes to play with it.

“I have made a separate area for him and he has his own bed to rest and an air conditioner to keep cool.”

Chaudhary claims he has permission from the authorities to keep the lion in the family home — but refuses to reveal where he bought the 3,200-pound (US$4,058) lion from.

He added, “He is growing up really fast. I feed him mutton, beef, and also chicken sometimes.”

Chaudhary trains Babbar like a pet dog and takes him out for walk every morning.

He boasted, “He is very friendly and is fond of me. He plays with me and I take him on walk in the morning 5 to 6 a.m. I’m teaching him commands to sit, go and eat just like a pet dog.”

The lion’s presence in the neighborhood has made it a star attraction and often Chaudhary’s keen friends and relatives surround it for selfies. (SD-Agencies)
