This cougar has moved from the zoo not to wild but to apartment and lives like a domestic cat

It’s hard to believe in, but this cougar lives in a small apartment.

It’s hard to believe, in Russia, Alexander and Maria Dmitriev keep cougar named Messi in their apartment.

Sarah first noticed the baby in the Saransk Zoo. The cub was one of three cubs born at the zoo.

Messi was suffering from a serious illness.

Dmitriev really liked the kitten, they turned to the zoo with a request to buy an animal.
