Fishing cat

Fishing Cat / Regular Cat

This is probably old hat to you cynical Internet know-it-alls, but I look at this page about once a month so I thought I'd share.

Some Russian couple have a fishing cat living in their home. I can't find any actual information about this particular cat other than that it lives with "a Russian couple," but they've taken a bunch of interesting photos of the cat eating a fish in and what appears to be a chicken, along with some adorable-yet-frightening photos of the fishing cat interacting with a housecat.

This cat weighs 15 kilograms. That's 33 pounds of cat.

Here's an English translation of the page, for what it's worth.

I'm of two minds about keeping a wild animal as a pet. The first: Exotic pets are a bad idea for about 99.9% of people who have them. Do you really need a ferret? Do you really need an iguana? No, you don't. More importantly, the ferret and the iguana don't need you. Dogs and cats need you. The second: There are certain people who are crazy enough to really put the required effort into caring for a wild animal that needs a home for whatever reason. I know because I've seen them on TV. Those people get a pass.
