No deaths here so no darwin, but i thought this guy may merit an honorable award, and if he chooses an even bigger cat for his next pet he may get one yet.
Puma attacks man who tried to keep it as a pet
A puma has attacked and seriously injured a Chilean man who was trying to keep it as a family pet.
The unnamed man from Los Muermos was hoping to train the big cat but it failed to respond and became more aggressive as it grew older.
The puma finally turned on its master and attacked him.
He was taken to hospital where he was treated for serious wounds.
Doctors had to put 14 stitches in his face.
Neighbours told newspaper La Cuarta that he kept the puma in a cage in his back garden and used to call it "my beautiful kitten".
