Just found this cat on YouTube. And I started watching this cat for hours :palm:.

Nice kitty kitty - amazing.  :phew:
I told my friends I could teach them to be funny, but they all just laughed at me.

Too big of a cat for me, unfortunately.  :(

Looks cute but not a big proponent of providing a cute undomesticated animal and turning them into pets. Aggression, instinctive reaction or even a playful 'swat' and that 'cute' cat would loose it's cuteness.

If you would look at the story of the puma in their other videos you'd know it has health issues and can't be returned to the wild or it would perish, so being cared for by that couple is best for it.

You mean reverse psychology does not work on cats?

I've found that a curious cat who doesn't want to seem too human-friendly, is easy to distract by using a rope/belt/string tied into a small circle, and then placing it in your own lap.  Thus far, the ownership of the thus ringed area seems more important than being aloof.  Anyone else tried that?

Almost ;)

If you would look at the story of the puma in their other videos you'd know it has health issues and can't be returned to the wild or it would perish, so being cared for by that couple is best for it.

I think I saw it mentioned somewhere (yeah, I was up all night watching him too) that due to his condition he's between 1/3 and 1/2 the normal size for the breed, and early on had some joint issues to contend with.   He certainly appears to be very gentle and docile, and for sure has found a loving home.  There are other videos of him cuddled up to Sasha as he reads (or, more precisely, tries to read - Messi keeps trying to lie across him and head butting him in the face looking for attention).  I'd love a chance to interact with him and hear his purr firsthand - he's a beautiful animal!  I wouldn't want him climbing onto my bench or equipment shelves, though...

-Pat

Edit to add - or have him offer comfort while stuck in bed with a bad cold (as I presently am)

There was a Puma living with someone in the US before the times of public internet, but it made an appearance in a very good book on feline behaviour. Can't recall the title, but I will try to get some info.
I recall they had regular cats too and at least one child.

One scene described was where a slightly bored but lazy Puma kept himself occupied by catching the same tiny fly all over and again. It caught it by folding it's paw, then let it fly again.

I buckled a belt and left it on my bed earlier; Piglet has now taken up residence in it and has been curled up snoozing for several hours that I know of so far tonight.

This is Luna

883606-0

She adopted us a year or so ago and really likes cuddling,  sardines and lasers (i can relate to this one also),  not necessarily in this order.

Also,  in the picture,  she wasn't posing,  she was sleeping like that. Also she's a real nice accessory on my desk, as she matches with my keyboard and display

I was a bit concerned for the guy, until he started speaking Russian.

Man those videos are addictive - thanks for posting the first one.  :)

How does this video relate to the cat topic? No cats spotted whatsoever.  :-//

//EDIT: Okay, theres one black, for a couple of shots. Still, too little of a cat content :D

Here's a feral cat I've been feeding. He comes by every evening. I made a box for him to sleep in. Sometimes he does and sometimes he doesn't.

I told my friends I could teach them to be funny, but they all just laughed at me.

Takes a lot of work to get 'em back, doesn't it?

I had a full black one I named Matrix. After weeks and weeks I got it to the stage of coming into the house to eat. So long as the door was open. If I tried to shut the door it would bolt. One night, because it was cold, I shut the door by pulling on a bit of string I had set up. The cat went bananas until I let it out. It didn't talk to me for a fortnight.
