This Russian couple has the most unusual house pet, a cougar. They rescued the once-miserable, 8-month old kitten from the Saransk petting zoo, where it was kept in terrible conditions and suffered from several diseases.
After a long period of rehabilitation, young Messi now lives a happy and healthy life in a loving family. His owners agree that having a 90 lb feline in their home is not an easy task, but, as these photos and videos show, Messi is quite pleased to be a house kitty.
Messi has 2 other siblings, Suarez and Neymar, and all three of them got their names from famous soccer players because, at the time of their birth, Russia was hosting the World Cup. Early in his childhood, Messi started having health problems, and that is how he was sold to Mariya and Aleksandr Dmitriev.
The family believes that Messi is no different from an ordinary house cat, with the only differences being his size and affection of water. The owners point out that Messi is so gentle and submissive that he is a bit afraid of the Sphynx cat that is the couple's second pet, despite being 5 times her size.
To learn even more about Messi and his family, you can see the video following this adorable picture.
