Michelle Rodriguez and Anand Jon at the Olympus Fashion Week Spring 2007. New York City, USA - 09.09.06

The actress took charge of her friend's exotic pet, MAYA, backstage ate Jon's Spring 2007 fashion show at the Metropolitan Pavilion and agreed to make sure the big cat got safely to his after-show party at the Stereo club.

But when she arrived at the bash, the music was too loud for the six-week-old panther.

Jon's spokeswoman says, "When the DJ refused to turn the music down, Michelle took the panther back to the car."

She later partied briefly but took her panther-sitting role seriously and quickly dashed back to the limousine, where the cub was sleeping.
