I discovered something new recently and wanted toย torture,ย I mean,ย inform everyone of this information. And what better way to show it than a puzzle you have to solve?
The story behind it goes like this: I was walking one day along the road and noticed an injured cat lying along the road, likely having been hit by a car. It was trying to walk, but wasn't getting very far.ย I didn't see any tags, but wanted to save it all the same. I noticed a car in the driveway of a nearby house and decided to knock and see if anyone was home. They answered and said that no, they had not seen this cat before but lent me an animal carrier that they weren't using. So I managed to get the cat in the carrier and took it to the vet clinic to get it checked out. Turns out they only part that had gotten run over was its paw, and since it was dead, they simply amputated it. After the surgery was done, I picked it up and took the cat home with me to recover. We spent a few days together while the cat learned to walk on three legs. The cat seemed to be getting better, but then one day it vanished! A few days later, I discovered a note in my mailbox with no return address. Out of curiosity, I opened it and it said:
DARE to WASH the lion's paw? If so, you may claim your reward here:

It seems to be related to my rescue of the cat, but what could this mysterious message be saying?
