I thought it might be a Margay, which looks a lot like a house-cat-size Ocelot. I spent a few months in Panama once upon a lifetime ago. Some idiot found a batch of margay kittens and took them home (on-base housing), thinking he'd raise them as pets. A couple months later, he found out just how bad of an idea that was. They are WILD cats, and even at six month old, they were holy terrors. They pretty much destroyed the house. Didn't do his military career any good, either.

Oops! Better turn in my "cat lovers" card.

(We really need a "forehead slapping" emoticon.)

Don't feel bad. So many "custom" cat breeds, it's hard to keep up.

But if you insist on beating yourself up.... (I could really clean those up a bit better)

So let's see if the puma getting a bath is going to be more than a Link..

Nope.. No luck is not Postable

anyway

I wonder if that's "Messi" from the "I Am Puma" series of videos?

It's amazing how that mountain lion is better behaved at bath time than many domestic pets. Of course I'm aware videos like this are "selective", presenting a "biased" view. This might have been that one time out ten when the cougar was "calm".

"Get up! Get up!" - "It's Saturday, go back to sleep." - "No, I wanna play. Get up!"

While I was preparing for the new TV & Media Avatar Contest, I was reminded of the iconic fight scene between Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris in "Way of the Dragon":

For those not familiar with the movie, this is not a trick by a clever gif-maker, that kitten really was in the scene. Stayed out of the fight, though.

A cat also showed up for this scene:

Does your cat follow you around the home and if you stop and turn around to look at it, it immediately freezes with this "if I don't move no one can see me" look on its face?

All. The. Time

Mine too.

Junior has been cuddling my slipper-booties all night.

Are you by any chance that unfortunate person?

 

[Sgt_G]

Oh, hell no. I was just deployed there for a few months about a year before Operations Just Cause. That idiot was someone living in on-base family-housing with a wife who was pregnant at the time. Hate to think what could have happened if they had young children, let alone a baby, with those five monsters locked inside the house with them.

 

[KimMH]

Bless their heart. OTOH, kids must’ve seemed pretty easy by comparison lol.

Junior always finds the most dangerous possible spot to lie down--right under my rolling office chair. Luckily, we haven't had any major accidents--yet--although one time he did lose a tuft of hair out of his tail. He'll even drag one of his toys with him, and then sit RIGHT there, with at least one foot and his tail under the chair. He clearly hasn't read the OSHA pamphlets at all.

 

[Redfern]

Not sure what's potentially worse, that or a rocking chair "encounter"!

Well, he clearly takes the risk just to be close to you.
