He's like: "MAN YOU COME CLOSER AND I WILL EAT YOU, AND EVERYTHING YOU LOVE..." **smells ice cream** "Sorry, can I get some of that..?"

I find it so funny that a grumpy lion like Joseph loves ice cream of all things.

@amandanies3174 6 жыл бұрын

Old Man Joseph sure loves his ice cream. He may have been grumpy, but once he realized it was his favorite rare treat, he goes, "Oh, never mind. Gimme some." And wow, 19 years old.

“HOOMAN! Get this stick out of my face! OH MY GOD. YOU DROPPED IT ON MY PAW. OH MY G--wait. This is ice cream. You may proceed.” Rest In Peace, beautiful grumpy Joseph! You’re with Queen Sasha now. ❤️ May you two have endless amounts of ice cream and big kitty cuddles for eternity. 🦁❤️

@florencekellogg659 6 жыл бұрын

190 because 9 is 90 and 10 is 100...at least for normal cats. My two oldest are 114 (14) right now and my family had a cat that got to 290 (29). That's how cat life years in human life years is.

@BonifideGTA 5 жыл бұрын

Florence Kellogg A cat year is like 6 years for 1 human year, or 1 cat year for every 2 human months. Don't know who lied to you and told you that a cat year was 10 years for 1 human year but they got you pretty good lol. Which would put Joseph at 114 in this video.

"Why are you pointing that out to me??? Oh wait, I smell ice cream. I forgive you". Hahaha. When the interns sang the happy birthday song, " What are you guys doing? I'm busy licking my leg here. Ok then, small roar for you". Happy birthday dear Joseph.

@amandanies3174 6 жыл бұрын

A grumpy old lion can only be satisfied with ice cream...wow, I've never seen such a thing. It's actually cute to see him soften up over ice cream. The only other thing that would soften his heart was his beloved queen Sasha. At least Sasha will be waiting for him at the Rainbow Bridge when Joseph's time comes...and possibly endless ice cream too.

My cat likes ice cream too! He's just turned 300,000 years and is incredibly desiccated and dry and communicates only in low, long rasping noises, he still has a strange umbilical cord attached to his hanging flaccid stomach which trails behind him as he shambles and gropes blindly ahead of him, and overall he appears to have the countenance of the cat equivalent of a billion year mummy All he touches is reduced to dust
