Pet Cougar Chills Out During Bath Time

Some couples do love living their lives on the wild side. No, this video is not about extreme rock climbing or hang gliding but about having a wild animal as a pet which sounds odd but it makes the pet no less adorable. It is not a wallaby, nor it is a skunk. It is a powerful cougar, dear people.

His name is Messi and the couple who adopted him from the local zoo, fell head over heels the moment they saw him. They called him Messi after the famous football legend. Although they knew little about puma nursing, they had no qualms about making the right decision.

Like most house pets, Messi likes to cuddle and play around but most of all he likes to
chill out during bath time. Despite his impressive paws, muscular body and a powerful tail, Messi looks like an innocent animal that is incapable of taking care of himself. He loves the torrents of water trickling down his body and he can lay still for an infinite amount of time. Though he requires a lot of room, he is used to living in an apartment. Messi loves water and if the tub was full, we would have probably seen him making some awesome moves in the bath.

Cougars aren't the only big cats that don't mind getting wet from time to time. Tigers have been known to enjoy some underwater antics, for example, and jaguars will hunt, play and swim in rivers. Even lions have been known to take to the water on occasion, though perhaps not as enthusiastically as their fellow felines.
