Tongue extended, Rufus, a 350-pound African lion, laps up a hefty helping of vanilla ice cream Saturday as a reward for being chosen "Most Masculine Cat" at Oakwood Shopping Center during the Bougalie Rebels Cat Club's Show. Looking on is William J. Gautreaux, Jr., 10601 Jefferson Highway, co-owner of the beast.
