Retired from a Moscow zoo after it had been closed down, Irma was welcomed into the couple’s domestic life in 2017.
As the world’s fourth-largest wild cat and a native of the Americas, the sight of a leashed (на поводке) puma in a coat on a snowy Moscow weekend would surprise even the most open-minded park-goer.
Irma the puma, however, is as domesticated (одомашненный) and well-behaved as any house cat, according to her owners, Marina and Sergey.
Irma now has a strong social media presence, with nearly 90,000 Instagram followers.
