Prince told the Los Angeles Times, "About a weekend into moving here, I got home one night, parked in my carport, and I looked at the steps up to my house and I see what I think is like a golden retriever. As it started moving, it moved like Mufasa [from Disney's "The Lion King"] and I knew it was a lion."

The lion is known as P-22. The 12-year-old cat has been spotted frequently in the area, especially during the last month.

"I have looked up how to fend off mountain lions, and that is a Google I didn't know I'd need to do," Prince told the LA Times.

"Every time I leave my house, I am checking my motion alerts or looking out my window, but I'm not scared," he added. "I think it's a beautiful creature and we should embrace P-22."

While Prince has learned to accept the cat, he said that his mom is terrified for him.
