Pizza Hut U.K. has teamed up with meat alternative company Beyond Meat to offer three new pizzas, giving Clarence the Lion paws for thought (sorry) instead of eating the brand’s ambassador in its latest spot.

Parker, being a wily old cat himself, knows that even the king of jungle won’t be able to resist one of the new range of meat-alternative pizzas and offers him a slice instead.
