Couple Share Studio Flat With A Cougar | BEAST BUDDIES

MEET the brave couple that share their home with a playful two-year-old COUGAR. In 2016, Alexandr Dmitriev and his wife, Mariya, decided to adopt a young cougar called Messi and raise him as a house-pet in their small, studio apartment in Penza, Russia. Messi follows a strict grooming routine to ensure he doesn’t make too much of a mess around the house - he gets washed in the bath, has his nails trimmed, his teeth checked and he receives a special brush-down every day. The big cat eats twice a day with a diet consisting of turkey, beef, a bit of chicken breast and some bones. And with a growing social media following of 250,000 on Instagram and more than 2 million views on KZbin, Messi has become a local celebrity.

[@electroluxray_560]

Tom Joad although usually I’m against having wild animals like this as pets, this is an exception. They saved its life, and there is no way it could be released in the wild. I think they know what they’re doing. They’re making sure he’s healthy and happy. The thing seems more docile than most house cats so I think it’s fine. Even house cats will be wild if you don’t work with them as kittens.

In case anyone is wondering.... They no longer live in an apartment, but have a house with a lot of land, which appears to have a very large solid wood-fence. And, Messi is very much attached to Alexandr, from what one can determine from the videos that Mariya films.

@penile 1 do you own a cougar?

[@egork92]

This cougar has stomach and bladder problems, AFAIK from their youtube channel. So they only give him meat, and they are brushing him almost daily because a fur ball would be a serious health problem for him. So he's indeed very small (here's him outside and younger but healthy puma inside: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nn-adp-Lns9-obc), but he's alive and seems to be enjoying it.

[@MightyJabroni]

[@vicmorgana5516]

@@theblackbaron4119 There are cats who are treated like kings and queens and are still bitchy. They claw and bite the hell out of their owners and hate human contact, even treated as well as they are. Every cat has its own personality, just like dogs. All animals are like that, but it's especially well-known in domestic cats. It's not always how you treat them, some cats just enjoy being dicks. My friend has a she-cat that's very aggressive, even though they treat her well. I couldn't count how many times I and my friend's family members have been bitten and scratched by that cat just for touching her or trying to touch her, and with zero warning.
