I had a cougar up until he was 7 months old. Got him as a cub - when we had to give him up he would be on his hindlegs with his front paws on my shoulder licking me to death! IT WAS AWESOME!! But we had to donate him to the MN St Zoo....better place for him but it was sure awesome. I would rather have wild animals as pets then domesticated ones. BUT that is feasible without the property they need. Love this video!
