Messi is now 2 and a half years old, and he grew up to be an avid hunter of his favorite toys and one of his favorite things to do is to be scratched behind his ear. He also likes taking walks and cuddling, the owners proudly announced.
In an interview to a Russian newspaper, the owners mentioned that Messi is very clever, too, so much so he learned to open windows and now often looks at the surrounding neighborhood from the kitchen window.
The family believes that Messi is no different from an ordinary house cat, with the only differences being his size and affection of water. The owners point out that Messi is so gentle and submissive that he is a bit afraid of the Sphynx cat that is the couple’s second pet, despite being 5 times her size.
