As lesser cats, mountain lions purr and meow!
Still do not recommend petting.
He's a little feisty, but he looked cold

There are socialized individuals that can be handled by their trainers, but yeah they’re not house cats, they haven’t spent thousands of years adapting to humans, and they will casually maul you.

Cheetah meows are some of the most adorable meows
ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 6 months ago
They should like real life Yoshis
Etterra@lemmy.world 6 months ago
That has to be the most chill cougar ever.

Their face looks like “you know, I was going to murder you, but I’m just gonna see how long you keep this up for until you realize.

“I think your little dog looks tasty. It’s literally the only reason I’m here right now.”

It’s probably sick. That’s unfortunately pretty much the only time a wild animal will react like that. I suppose there is an outside chance it’s domesticated and got out of its pen.
NiHaDuncan@lemmy.world 6 months ago
The people that have the cat are it’s caregivers… the text is a joke.
VubDapple@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Is that a cougar?
model_tar_gz@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Wet Cougar in the bathtub. Pretty hot.
gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I think it’s a puma

I actually think it’s a mountain lion ;)

What in Sam hell is a puma?

THERE AREN’T COUGARS IN GARDENS! (It’s a reference, let’s see if someone gets it)

Or, it could be a catamount.

I was thinking huh he could play Beast in beauty and the beast, well it turns out he was Beast in a fucking TV show
Num10ck@lemmy.world 6 months ago
check out a movie called city of lost children. he’s great in it but also the least interesting thing about it.
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yep, and Sarah Connor played Beauty.

That’s all fun and games until he eats your face

Yeah. I got a leg scar from a domestic cat that I’ve raised from kittendom, who’d easily have ripped my face if she could reach it*. A wild, larger, and more powerful version of that seems like a bad idea.
*because I was holding a kitten that she never saw before. Yup. Fuck you Kika, I love you but you’re a bloody arsehole.
spicytuna62@lemmy.world 6 months ago
The biggest mistake anyone can make about a 10 pound domestic housecat is to underestimate one. Cats seriously punch far above their weight. Like someone welded a bunch of razor blades to a flying, out of control angle grinder that always knows which way is down. A cat can ruin your day quickly.
It’s a good thing their primary prey is plastic.
ReiRose@lemmy.world 6 months ago
This! I love my sweet boy and he’s so gentle and kind 99% of the time. But sometimes he choses violence. He is the reason I think all people who keep big cats as pets are not logical.
Thcdenton@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I absolutely adore mountain lions. But knowing that they can pierce my skull with their teeth would keep me out of that room.
chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 6 months ago
This is my kind of shoulder cat.

I think you may be his type of shoulder human

They really are beautiful animals. Deadly beauty.

Surprisingly calm while being given a bath.
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
I think he’s Puma Messi, he’s been hand-raised from a cub and has medical conditions that prevent him from being able to live wild and also make him smaller and less energetic than most pumas. I’m not a fan of keeping wild animals as pets, but they appear to treat him with love and kindness and give him the individual attention and care he needs, although I didn’t do a deep dive.
KrapKake@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yes, and he was going to be euthanized by the zoo because of his medical issues. He was rescued by a Russian couple who runs the youtube channel “i_am_puma”, starring Messi.
stelelor@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
I looked it up and wow, that’s crazy. Messi is basically naturally domesticated. If the medical conditions are genetic, he could be the start of a lineage of house pumas.

I’m certain the mountain lion is calculating his/her next meal within the house.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 months ago
That looks a lot my cat. I had to get rid of it because I was allergic.
And because it ate my leg. Bit it clean off.
I miss you, kitty. 😥
klemptor@startrek.website 6 months ago
Maybe you shouldn’t be seafood if you don’t want to be eaten by cats. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 6 months ago
Airborne seafood.
Cat just batted him around a few times in the air first, before chowing down on a leg.
