I have read Cheetahs make the best pets of the big cats, and have been pets in ancient times.
Cheetah Gerda seems exceptionally loving. She is always purring and licking her minders.
Pumas are also considered amongst the friendliest big cats. And Messi in particular is very gentle. He attended dog obedience school and did not lash out once. He has some genetic abnormalities, and requires medication everyday, and I wonder if they have had the effect of making him more tame.
Adult cougars have gold eyes. Messi, though pushing six years old now and is well past maturity age, has retained the grey eyes of cougar cubs and is about 36% smaller than the typical male Puma.
7/21/2021: The Puma Messi refuses to take his pills. Pilling a cat, or dog, can be difficult. Pilling a cougar whose jaws are so strong one cannot pry them open? Harder. Cheetah Gerda took her pills without a fuss.
8/9/2021: The Puma Messi loves waking up Sasha in the morning. He is too affectionate. The Cheetah Gerda is also very affectionate and the most chill cheetah known to man.
