A MARRIED COUPLE who share their city apartment with their pet puma say that they consider the big cat a part of their family. Sergey and Marina Ross, both aged 32, live with their 2-year-old mountain lion, Irma in their apartment in central Moscow. They adopted Irma from a zoo one year ago, after hearing that they intended to put her down because they could no longer afford to keep her. The big cat initially did not allow Sergey or Marina to touch her - but after months of adjusting to her new surroundings, she has eventually learned to love and trust them. Now, the couple have regular cuddles with the 38kg cat and Sergey says that he sometimes even sleeps next to her. To follow their story, click here:

@Christian Weissmuller Messi was adopted from a petting zoo, so had been accustomed to lots of human contact. Also, he happened to be a laidback animal to begin with. Every animal is different.
I'm suprised the puma isn't wearing a matching jacket as well. Now that would be funny.
Cats are the only animals that domesticated themselves -- they chose to live with humans when we first began storing the grain that attracted rodents. The cats have been training us every since. Now, the puma concolor has decided to get in on all the benefits of having two-leggers as servants and chefs, proving once again how smart felines are!

What a beautiful cat. I don't agree with the total ban but I do realize that there are many irresponsible people who should be discouraged from having exotic pets. For that matter, some people shouldn't have any pets at all. When a cat sleeps with you it should be viewed as a privilege. Their presence is comforting (providing the bed is big enough) and has a way of keeping bad dreams at bay.

What a beautiful animal.
A mountain lion hissed at me once from the bushes outside a friends house. And when I was a little kid I woke up at my grandmas house to see a mountain lion watching me sleep through the window. The balls I have to live with such an animal do not exist.

@Irma_pumacat, there are more and more attacks as people move into their territory along the West Coast of America. Cougar are solitary creatures, but they have and will attack humans when they find they are easier to attack then other prey. Her in the United States people are attacked by their "exotic pets on a regular basis. People treat their exotics like house pets and sooner or later they show their wild nature and lash out. It's a sad truth that people like to ignore. Don't kid yourself into thinking otherwise. It's not fare to the animal and it's defiantly dangerous to any human that comes into contact with that animal.
These cats are demanding and a handful to take care of,it helps that these people get her out and walk her as living in a apartment 24/7 is no life for a wild animal( it takes many generations to tame animals) but that said I would rather see her with this caring people than any zoo
What if the cougar sees an animal and it wants to catch it? I don't think you can stop that.
I LOVE THIS, as long as you don't take a wild animal away from its habitat, im fine with it 😊

@@Weirdo-no9ev Listen, I don't want to fight. I just want people to be informed on how irresponsible this kind of stuff is. I know it's too late to release her, but there's way healthier options for captive animals like her. Also, zoos and wildlife parks actually do loads for conservation and research! And captive animals like Irma can lead enriched and healthy lives in zoos/sanctuaries/etc.! Of course the best option would be for all animals to be in their natural habitat, but for some that's not an option, and so zoos etc. are the next best thing. How Irma is being treated is not in her best interests and it's not safe for her or anyone around her.
Puma's are a lot bigger than I thought
At the end the guy tried to kiss the puma and got rejected 4:45
I agree that Irma could not survive in the wild but I suggest you give her much more space to exercise. You need a yard with trees. I also would have suggested continuous exposure to other animals and people. Socialized animals do much better because you can't keep her away from people for her life. What about going to the vet? She will have to be muzzled. Take an example from Messi. I see that you love her. Concentrate on providing for her. I am so surprised that pumas are being domesticated. I know cheetahs do well because they are like dogs and social, but pumas, like you said, are solitary animals, hunters. There is a lot of instinct in her. Watch for signs. Messi was socialized a lot but you can see that he really doesn't like to be around anyone but the couple he lives with. Good luck. Enjoy the love.
I love cats but that would still terrify me to live with one that big
