The puma is adorable and I’m glad her hoomans lover her, but taking her out in public is…uh…problematic. That thing sees a squirrel and the dude’s going for a ride.
Allegedly it doesn’t do that because it’s mentally stunted from various genetic defects that make it 2/3 of the size of a regular puma.
Regardless of the love these people feel for the puma, it’s not okay to keep an animal that size in a one bedroom apartment. It would be different if they had a house and a big yard, like Tippi Hedren does with her tigers.
But a one bedroom apartment is no place for a puma while both of these people have to go to work and weren’t able to find an animal handler.
The puma’s interest in boxes is quite different from Maru’s. Puma tears it apart as if it was prey. Fabulous as living with a puma must be I personally would not since, for instance, it appears to still have the desire to tear things apart.
I desperately want to rub that fluffy belly, possible with a rubber hand at the end of a long pole.
I would like to join the “couch cuddle” in the the first pic on the dogs and cats article, please.
“As you can imagine some animal and environmental rights activists have objections to the Dmitrievs keeping an exotic animal in their home and believe Messi belongs on a wildlife reserve or in a sanctuary. While others note the danger of living with wild animal.”
Count me in on all those objections. And that “zoo” gives genuine responsible zoos a bad name, too.
Fortunately there is much cuteness in the other links. And I love the dog saving his toy from the Evil Roomba Monster. I haven’t tried my robot vacuum since adopting Bibi—I’m tempted, but I think maybe I’d better wait till she’s more secure in her new home.
The pretty Siamese in the 7th or so picture of cats & dogs together looks *just* like the cat I grew up with, who lived to nearly 22 and who we “temporarily” named Princess but of course remained Princess for the rest of her life! She joined our family when I was in first grade, and left us when my daughter was in first grade — she spanned an entire generation with her long life! I still miss her…..
So much to love in these links – little blind kitten with the sooty nose, giant toe beans on the puma (tho’ I do agree with the comments about keeping a wild animal) all those dogs and cats getting along so happily. Makes me feel very good.
Oh, the puma is gorgeous. Nothing about that situation is the puma’s fault. My issue is with the humans in that story. I hope it all ends well.
Dog resisting robotic stuffy snatcher is epic!
