Happy Furry Friendsmas! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday with family, friends, or whoever you chose to celebrate with! 🦌❤️🦁❤️🦌❤️🦁❤️🦊❤️ We had so much Chinese food I was in a food coma for 2 days and forgot to post this for #FursuitFriday 😅

Merry Christmas & Happy Pawlidays everyone! Santa Lion brought a special gift this year: the long-awaited 13th edition of my Fursuiting: For The Kids series! Full video here: youtu.be/lRR8-fa_uR0 There’s nothing better than making someone’s day w/some Fursuiting Magic! Enjoy & please share ❤️

Did photography for @furlifenw.bsky.social “Fuzzies On Ice” fursuit skating meetup last night, was SO much fun! We had 11 fursuiters and 20+ attendees in total. Full album: www.flickr.com/photos/kijan... Thank you @leobarkley86.bsky.social for hosting, we will definitely make this an annual event!

“Look Mom, a REAL Lion!” Pure Fursuiting Magic on #FursuitFriday I got my start in the fandom through public suiting, it’s an honor to have inspired many to join the fun & start suiting themselves through my YouTube vids Still going after all these years because moments like this are SO special 🥹

Our Fall Furbowl #WFS55 was featured in @thabomeerkat.bsky.social’s pawesome series Digging Up Pawsitivity, highlighting charitable contributions from events & cons across furry fandom! Full episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_cH... In our 4 WFS Charity Auctions we’ve now raised $7,060 in total ❤️

OMG we are so close!!! 21st time seeing this incredible spectacle in my lifetime. 3rd row main floor right side on the aisle. Time to go to the Pride Lands!

“Keep going Colton! You’re almost at the finish line, you can do it!” “WHOA MOM! LOOK IT’S A LION!” *stops running to say hi, with the biggest smile* I love public suiting so much, especially for charity ❤️

Fursuit Festival photos from #BLFC2025 are up and they look amazing: photos.goblfc.org/BLFC-2025/Fu... There were 30 separate groups for species & color. I attended Lions/Tigers, and the HUGE Brown & Tan photoshoots! TY to the furry photographers who volunteer their time for us ❤️ #FursuitFriday

I found IRL Pawbert 😻😻😻 Meet Marty Lynxley, a 6-year-old Canada Lynx from Minnesota! He’s got very pronounced tufted ears, a signature trait of the species. Watching #Zootopia2 reignited my love for these gorgeous cats, and we are lucky to have them at Seattle’s #WoodlandParkZoo!

Update: All cards have been claimed! Thank you for the great response to my annual card giveaway! The first batch (about half, including all international cards) have gone out, and the rest will by the end of the week! Please let me know when you receive it and enjoy the surprises ^_^

AHHHH my animated sticker set is done and I love them so much!!! I’ve been on Telegram for 9+ years and never gotten my own stickers until now. So excited! Thank you @luniquekero.bsky.social for your amazing work, great communication & flawless commission experience! t.me/addstickers/...

The When Furballs Strike 55 video is up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PpK... It’s a combo video with highlights from WFS 54 too! Enjoy some amazing memories of bringing our community together for our fall & summer furbowls. WFS 56 Date & Theme will be announced by the end of December! 🦊🐶🐱🐹🐻🎳 #WFS55

I WILL FIX YOU, PAWBERT! Some #Zootopia2 fun on #FursuitFriday with my soon-to-be GOOD lynx husbando ❤️❤️❤️

I drive underprivileged kids to school and both my riders today saw Zootopia 2 over the weekend. We talked about the movie & I asked them important questions like “if you visited Zootopia what animal would you be?” (They said Cat & Bunny!) The furry indoctrination of the next generation begins ❤️

Organized a big Zootopia 2 meet for @furlifenw.bsky.social today, we took over about 1/3 of the theatre with nearly 30 furries! So much fun to see it in a huge group like this. No spoilers-just a fantastic movie all around, memorable characters, great story. Absolutely worth the decade long wait!

It’s the #FursuitFriday after Thanksgiving and that means it’s Pawliday Card Giveaway time! If you’d like a Kijani card to brighten your season, send a DM here or TG @kijani_lion to get on the list! Each card will have a little surprise this year 😻 Would love to trade as well! Happy Holidays ^_^

This Thanksgiving the pride decided to be deer inclusive for our favorite buck @incogthedeer.bsky.social in our meal preparation. All a roar the veggie train, and have a happy turkey day! With: @kitwanalion.bsky.social @kijani.bsky.social 🖼️by: @trashbambi.bsky.social

Holiday tip: Never leave turkeys unattended around Lions. They may suddenly go missing! Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! I am so thankful for the fandom, all the lifelong friends & acquaintances I’ve made and the opportunity to give back through staffing cons & my furbowl. Enjoy the day ❤️

Contestants! All the numbers have been tabulated, every penny has been counted, and several two dollar bills have finally dried out For #BLFC2025, the total raised for our Charity is... $34,416.31! Thank you everyone!

Just dropped off the $2,070 donation check to the Pacific NW ALS Association Development Manager! She was so excited, thankful and complimentary towards our @furlifenw.bsky.social group ❤️ Our community did a great thing at #WFS55 and look forward to helping another deserving charity next year!

They are so cute OMG 🥹 Went back to see the 🦁 cubs at Cougar Mtn Zoo recently, they’re growing about 2 lbs a week! They just turned 3 months & have unique personalities! So much fun to watch them play wrestle & explore their new outdoor habitat. I bought a membership just to watch them grow up ❤️

Fursuit Group Photos from #WFS55 yesterday! We had: 321 Attendees 154 Fursuiters 214 bowlers across 44 lanes $2,070 raised for the ALS Association What an incredible day for our FurLife/Pacific NW furry community! Thank you ALL who came out to our Fall Furbowl & hope to see you at WFS 56 ❤️

It’s #FursuitFriday and the eve of @furlifenw.bsky.social’s 55th Fall Furbowl, When Furballs Strike! We have 35 lanes booked full with furries & another 50-75 walk-ins expected, gonna be an amazing time! Now the real question: Lion Jersey w/Pride ball or Hawaiian shirt w/Lion King ball? 🤔 #WFS55

We’re 2 days away from #WFS55 - let’s talk about the Charity events at our fall furbowl! Watch this video to get a rundown of all 3 events: the Auction (including all 6 prizes), Beat the Organizer & Holiday Drive. Let’s support great causes and show how awesome our Pacific NW fandom community is!

I recently had the honor of performing Kijani at the Walk to Defeat ALS Seattle, which raised an incredible $157,000 to help those & loved ones fighting this awful neurodegenerative disease. Public fursuiting, especially for charity, is the BEST ❤️ 📸 @arcticarua.bsky.social & Eris #FursuitFriday

I just bought out close to 1/4 of a theatre for a @furlifenw.bsky.social meetup to see Zootopia 2 on Opening Weekend, and there’s an ironic typo on the credit card entry screen 😂 Can’t even make this stuff up… furries are clearly taking over on the very near furture!

Why hello Forest frens! Welcome to my neighborhood. It’s a beautiful fall day! Are you lost?

Let’s play Wheel of Fortune on #FursuitFriday! The category is CHARACTER… can you solve it? Clearly, Vanna White I am not 😅 The theming at #BLFC2025 “Game Shows” was on point as always, especially this classic old-school puzzle board!

You’re at the arcade and absolutely IN THE ZONE on the 🏈 game. With the clock ticking down, you’re 40 points from a Jackpot. You need a 50-point Long Bomb for ALL the tickets! You grab a ball & heave it towards the tiny target. It appears to go in as it hits 0:00… NOOO 😭 (Yup this really happened)

“A… Are you my da-da?” 🥹 There is no feeling in this world like being literal inches away and staring deeply into the curious eyes of a 2-month old baby lion. I love lions so so much and they are so perfect in every way. I’ll never forget this moment ❤️

Cougar Mountain, a small zoo east of Seattle, recently acquired 3 lion cubs from a wildlife park in Kansas and they’re SO ADORABLE! I spent an hour observing/photographing them in their nursery 🥰 These 🦁 ambassadors are 2.5 months old, playful and growing every day! Go see them if you’re local :D

This doggo wanted to be a lion for Halloween, but he knew who the rightful Lion King was! Also our group photo for the costume contest! We had 10+ fursuiters but the booth was so smol XD Thanks @leobarkley86.bsky.social for hosting the Halloween meet for @furlifenw.bsky.social & ECF!

Just @foelan.deer.place & a 😈 Lion dancing to Lady Gaga in the streets, in the rain, while a glow stick flash mob forms behind us XD Fursuited on Halloween for the first time in many years with a group from @furlifenw.bsky.social - so fun! 🎥 @howlgorithm.bsky.social

I got a SPOOKY SEASON Hole In One for Halloween 🤩🤩🤩 Mini golf is all about angles, had to go back to geometry class and get my protractor out for this one XD I freaking love this course. It’s so well themed!

First #BLFC2025 photo album is up on Flickr: flickr.com/photos/kijan... If we got a 📸 together, it’s in here! I hosted so many charity events/panels/game shows I didn’t get to fursuit much, but it sure was fun when I did! TY @trandafirruby.bsky.social for capturing memories ❤️ #FursuitFriday
