This concept would make for an awesome show. Like if that show Wilfred was cool, funny or interesting. A straight up anthropomorphic lion that no one gets is a lion. You need at least one human character who gets it though, for reference. "Just updated my dating profile: Definitely not a vegan and really like naps!". "People are always asking me how I keep my skin so soft, but laugh when I tell them, 'I never leave home without my coat'". And the human character is always making that corkscrewed confused face when it's one of those sorts of comments that would be awful to hear a lion admit to, but everyone laughs at cause they don't realize it's a lion. I don't know. Probably prohibitively expensive to do a lion well for a TV show, anyway.
