3. That is a young cougar

He/She should be in a sanctuary for big cats. Not someone’s home. He/She is still a wild animal and can be unpredictable with regard to unexpected aggression.

5. Messi isn't that young: they've had him since 2016.

He looks young because he is two-thirds the size of an average adult puma due to his health problems as a cub.
That said, I would be afraid to have him in my house. I hope the family's good luck with him holds.

7. You're right, but I'm not sure if there are any reputable sanctuaries in Russia where he

lives and he does seem happy. I've seen a lot of videos about him and he's been with this couple for years.

4. Cougar terrible at shell game.

I wonder if he's thinking, "I'm pretending the stuffed animal is you human"?
