pet,raise,and get to know a cougar as my best friend

I LOVE all cats small & big.It is sad how there are many people who look at cougars and just think of a giant,sandy cat.Well when I see cougars or really just think about them,I feel refreshed and happy,and I feel ill when they are hurt,I don’t actually have that much enthusiasm with humans,though.I would like to own one of the beautiful wild cats some day.:)
