Russian House Puma Proves That Big Cats Are Still Itty Bitty Cats Deep Down

For some reason, people who are very wealthy in Russia seem to almost always have some kind of zoo in their home, collecting wild animals like some people collect designer shoes. Oftentimes their pet collection will include exotic birds, bears, and usually some kind of big cat. Whether they're born wild or bred to be pets, those big cats can get enormous and take total control over the home, setting the stage to become the perfect binge-worthy deep dive into the lives of the insanely rich oligarchs of Russia. 

 

One woman, who has a whole gaggle of large and exotic mammals, has one big cat in particular. London, her male mountain lion, has grown to be well over 250lbs and is a well-trained monstrosity, blurring the line between zoo animal, house pet, and lap dog all at the same time. One thing that London has proven through extensive vlog-style videos is that, even though he's a wild animal and a big cat, he is still, very much a cat.

 

Watermelon season!

 

 

London, the biggest house cat in the world,  loves to play with his toys, getting excited and skittering around his enclosure to play with an enormous watermelon as if it's a tiny cat toy with a bell inside. He bats it around playfully and tries to anchor his 2inch nails into the melon rind so that he can grip and nip on its edges. Not only that, but London also has his escapades in the house. 

 

He stalks the kitchen, he climbs the furniture, and he causes all kinds of mayhem and mischief. This puma even knocks things off the counter (probably on purpose) and he playfully mews with his owner. Most importantly, London proves that regardless of the size of the gato, them cats do still be catting.

Obviously because of his enormous size, there are some drawbacks to having a puma in the house. Sometimes London gets a little bit moody, which is completely terrifying and to be expected from a semi-wild animal. Sure his owner would never expect him to lash out, but that's the danger of it all. London is normally very calm and chill, but let's never forget that, despite his house cat vibes, he is very much a predator deep down. 

 

 

So just like house cats, you may expect a few teensy scratches from this one. The biggest difference of course, would be the size and strength of the hardware that's extending out of their toe beans.
