  • First video I've ever seen on youtube with over 100 likes and no dislikes

  • what happened ? Did she pass away from old age ? Is 16 years the life span of a big cat ? She was a drop dead gorgeous animal ...

  • What a beautiful cat, I love cats and I am too so sorry for your loss. If I could do anything for you I would and I will continue giving to animal care and prevention of cruelty to animals.

  • I am very sorry for your loss, she must have been a wonderful companion. I would probably never own a big cat for fear of something bad happening, but obviously you did everything right. -3

  • Brandy is clearly the highest authority at the Rainbow Bridge

  • @wdodgeboy...so sorry that you lost such a beautiful friend..i also love cats very much and think that cougars are 1 of the most beautiful cats on the planet....there's no more loving or loyal friend as a pet than a cat...the worlds most beautiful animal bar none!

  • the most beautiful relationship i've ever seen , cried my heart & eyes out, i'm so sorry for your loss ,u can see her love for you and your love for her, i'll never forget this video & story <3

  • you must FEEL the PRESENCE and FORCE of Nature ....much more 'ASTUTELY' than most whom surround you......

    i pray U still have faith in humanity!

    What a BLESSING for US! to whom U have share these moments....I cannot begin to share w/U

    how much PEACE i receive when i revisit this Vid.......ALWAYS makes me cry and sense the opening of MY HEART....when I see HOW much She LOVES U!

  • What a beautiful relationship that you both developed. Very inspirational. I'm sorry for your loss. Just know that she will always be with you, despite what had happened. : ) <3

  • So sweet! <3

  • I don't care what people say wild cats can be pets. We all know the risk and it is our choice to take that risk. Each cat is different and each individual relationship is different. I have a cheetah and we have an incredible bond like you and Brandy. My cat has been just a blessing and a joy.

  • Beautiful kitty

  • This is the only video on YouTube that makes me sad... She was so beautiful... The coolest video on YouTube hands-down!

  • @AmericanOppression Thank You Very Much I'm glad I could share this with you ;)

  • God! She sooooooo LOVE U!!!!

  • It passed away? :(

  • I'm sure she loved you as much as you.

  • This make me so sad I'm such an animal lover rip brandy

  • I really cried for this part. I can't say I know exactly how you feel, but I recently lost my mom and she would have loved to see this. It is so touching that you shared such a beautiful relationship with Brandi. I hope everyone is so blessed.

  • @comsfan09 Thank You ;)

  • @wdodgeboy I am one major MAJOR ainimal lover... and have 3 cats of my own. Brandy was one beautiful animal and she was very sweet looking. Do you mind if I ask, did she pass away from old age? And did you bury her at your house? I only ask that because it's just what I would have done. Always have. And like you and many have said... it just shows you that wild animals can be pets and that they do know how to love as well as anything else. Very beautiful.

  • Seeing the love you and Brandy shared, is proof that what is meant to be; will be.

    What a rare & beautiful spirit she was. And how blessed you both were, to have found each other.

    My heart aches for you loss, but it also smiles, because love is a rare thing and once shared, lives forever.

  • @gulfgypsy I agree <3

  • What an amazing, loving pet. This is sad, but also beautiful. We all have to leave this world sometime. I'm sure Brandy will be waiting for you when your time comes.

  • this made me cry, she was so beautiful........she loved you as much as you loved her, what an amazing experience in life!

  • Wow Brother!!! I can't even watch the whole thing. What an incredible relationship you two had!!! God truly shined on you for all those wonderful years. I have seen an animal completely incapable of communicating verbally show such open and absolute love towards their care giver. It's easy to see you truly loved each other!!! I would normally argue anyone domesticating a wild cat but you sir truly are the exception to the rule! May you never forget a second of time with her. WOW!!!

  • You really loved her...it shows. My husband and I have a 34 pound orange tabby...Pumpkin...he is the coolest, most affectionate cat. Not as big as a cougar but just as loving. Did you get another big cat?

  • Thank you Stephen for sharing such an emotional video of your precious baby! Brandy will be waiting for you to join her when your time comes. She was a magnificent cat!

  • She was a very happy Kitty. You coud hear her purring throughout the whole video, so content. Don't cry for her brother, she will be waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge.

  • oh shit i started to cry that song was played on my papaws death day before he was burred

  • amazing beautiful wonderful I am so glad you got to experance this lovley animal what a sweet thing terific you have been blessed and your cougar was blessed

    what a good match

  • Did Brandy die of old age or something?

  • Pets in Heaven! Brandy is waiting for you!

  • How did you manage to have her as a pet? did you buy her? i don't think i could have one in my country, but i'd love to! This video is beautiful

  • I don't think cougars usually make good pets. Nonetheless, you gave this one a wonderful life. She's waiting to be reunited with you because love never dies.

  • Beautifull video!! I have always had a soft spot for animals and beleive love can be shared between all. You can clearly see the bond you shared with this magnifiscent creature. Compassion is the key to life

  • That is so sad to have loved and lost such a special creature. Ah man it sucks. She was a class act.

  • I never really liked cats till one day this little creature came into my life in 1998. I lost my best friend Dusty a dog in 2000. Zeek the cat seemed to know I was troubled. Little by little he grew on me. I had to let him go at 11:00 am friday the day before Christmas. I am 6'2 and 250lbs. Well this little guy brought me down to size when he left this world. Even now I tearing up as I write. I know how you feel brother. Sorry for your loss. Those that live without animals don't understand. RIP!

  • its amazing how somethin as awesome as this can bring a grown man to tears... thats power

  • I watch this , I think of all my departed loved ones and I know the loss is worth the memories . Live and love while we are here its all we have ..

  • wild animals can be pets! <3

  • @dndepisode67 Yes they can very good ones ;)

  • Dude this is so sad i wouldnt be surprised if it was taken down due to the tears. this is beautiful, so upsetting though i could never watch without crying man.

  • @dndepisode67 I guess it that were to happin i would feel pretty honered Thank You ;)

  • this has to be one of the most exciting, powerful, and sad things ive ever seen on youtube. Im very sorry she had to go, i know u loved eachother.

  • @MrCalikid21 Thank You Very Much

  • I cried. She will be missed greatly! D*x

  • @dndepisode67 Thank You ;)

  • @W0LFkiss Thank You

  • She's beautiful!

  • @vermettegar Thank You

  • Oh my...what a beautiful girl you had in your life. I have to admit this video made me sob ...I am a huge cat lover, and lost one of my best friends suddenly two years ago...he had much the same mannerisms as your Brandy. I imagine knowing how much love and joy you brought to Brandy is a comfort to you now. Bless your heart.

  • @nitasch Thank You

  • Just Amazing

  • @AODDiablo ;)

  • Respect!

  • @NessyShepherd Total ;)

  • couldnt stop crying, u was so lucky and she was too, bloody beautifull

  • @Madgethecat Thank You

  • watching this brought back memories of my dog. I know they are two different animals, but i'm sure the bond that was created was very similar. thanks for posting...

  • @longlivethe80s You Very Welcome

  • may i ask how you acquired a cougar? looks like she was so timid.. must have been a wonderful friend. :)

  • @wildpitchernae I got her from a breeder and she was the best ;)

  • My cat is getting up in the years, after watching the video i went and held him, i just DREAD the thought of him not being around someday. your story is something of greatness.....just....wow

  • @cabaniss00 Thank You I'm glad i could share a little of the joy i experianced with her.

  • @wdodgeboy Great stuff, man. People have a better chance of winning the lottery than forming a relationship this strong with a big cat. She was a truly beautiful animal. I'm going downstairs now, to get some headbutts from our cat. Thanks for posting.

  • @wrobinson7 Thank You Enjoy them while you can

  • @wdodgeboy i started getting teary after watching the video. reminded me of my cat. very touching

  • @cabaniss00 Thank You :)

  • From France

    I lost my cat yesterday and i feel like i want to die

    I know i can help other cats but nothing will never bring back my baloo

    " mes sincères condoléances mec "

  • @ZionParis Sorry for your loss. I know how you feel.

  • Lost my Persian, had her from age 16 to age 32, ...the loss you feel from a lifetime of friendship tearing up all over again... sorry for your loss. Will always remember. This cougar was certainly special.

  • @DAREDARVIL Thank You Very Much ;)

  • my neighbor had a pet cougar but a neighbor hood dog got in its cage and the cougar killed it and ate it. the guy had to get rid of it. I feel bad because its really the dogs fault.

  • @Matt2779 I know what you mean i had a few get in mine but that was her space and if she dident mind it was ok if she did well i let her deal with them. she dident mind my dogs or some neighbor hood cats getting in with her. But birds ,racoons,possims or ground hogs she dident much care for

  • cool pet dude!! you r a lucky man to have a relationshp with such a fine creature!!

  • @captaincommando2 Thank You ;)

  • @captaincommando2 Thank You

  • @captaincommando2 Thank You I know what you mean

  • Not sure what you mean by her remembering you, but I've grown up with house cats my whole life and I see your connection with her, made my eyes water up.

    Thanks for showing the video, liked it very much.

  • @FeroGotBalls When we go to our final resting spot. And your very welcome ;)

  • I'm not a believer so I don't believe in an afterlife, either way, make sure you treasure your memories, they are your very own time machine, you can't change the past, but you can remember it.

  • She will remember you... :^)

  • @dcharles63 Thanks I sure hope so

  • when you say she would test you, what kinds of things did she do? how did you deal with them?

    hard to know what id do if the cat decided to tackle me

  • @lejink Blindside and tackle me or nip me in the side stare you down. You have to stand your ground and be firm.

  • ALLLL CATS AAANNNDD I MEAN WILD CATS

  • I am sorry WHICH HE MUST GO I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT CATS

  • @alicapone666 Thank You ;)

  • SUPER ONE THING I LOVE IT

  • Thank You ;)

  • This made me cry =[ what happend to her if you dont mind me asking?

  • She was 16 and a half and got feline infectious paratinitus

  • i am usually against people domesticating these type of wild animals... but it is refreshing to hear someone make comments about how it is realistically difficult and dangerous to take in this type of animal..i think there a lot of people out there right now getting bobcats, tigers, and other large cats without having the right habitat or training to take in this animal.. thank you for being honest about this situation

    have you had extensive training on dealing with these type of cats?

  • No just my own experiance with them i have had 3 Cougars 2 Bobcats And 2 Canadian Lynx along with many other wild animals. I never tell people that they make good pets, It takes alot of time and love to get a relationship like i had with her. Everyone thinks they are cute when their young but they grow up very fast and most people like 1 out of 10.000 people might be able to deal with them properly all it takes is 1 mistake you see it on the news all the time and some of them are pros.

  • Thats a very affectionate pet. I stumbled on this while researching the prospect of getting a large cat as a pet. I recently lost my beloved Tiger Pit Sancho, and am looking for something different. How difficult has she when she challenged?

  • I wouldent advies getting 1, They will put the fear of God in you at some point and its a fine line weather you'll get past that point. Its a 3 to 4 year test period to see what they can get away with. Cats are not Dogs. Dogs will forgive, Cats dont forget, Dogs Bite and Release, Cats Bite to the Bone and Hang On. There is always the Chance that things can Go Bad. Ask yourself are you ready for this ? Can you be Responcible, Can you be Lible for what might happen ?. It could be Life Changing.

  • You're lucky! I get really jealous when I see that. She was very cute too!

  • Hi Steve,

    I would like to get one. I'm a very loving person, such as yourself and having already a few cats, I'm ready for a relationship of this sort. Please message me as to where I can aquire one.

  • I would suggest you do alot of thinking before you decide to get 1, They require alot of work and love and for most people after they turn about 6 months old they cant handle them anymore and get rid of them and thats not fair to the animal.They will challenge you and if you back down its over . As far as getting 1 i have lost all contacts that i had.

  • Thanks for your response, how do they challenge you and how do you respond correctly?

  • sooo beautiful.. sooo cute..these amazing videos make me cry

  • You and many others thanks for viewing ;)

  • I cry every time I come here .

  • Me too.

  • Thank You ;)

  • Your not alone :)

  • this makes me cry...it only take special people who can be friends with these kind of animals.....ur both special indeed

  • Thank You Very Much ;)

  • Hey Steve , Just stopped by to say hi , you were so lucky to have shared love with Brandy !! God surely smiled on you man !!!!!  peace , Mike

  • Thanks alot he sure did ;)

  • hello.. how do you feed Brandy? i'd like to know :) anyway, this is a very touching video.. great man!

  • So sorry for your loss,She seems like a Very Loving Cat, i don't understand how people can call them "Monsters" they can be loving but if their kept in Zoo's Ya their gunna be pissed ! Brandy seems Very happy with you :)

  • Thank You ;)

  • Thank you for the wonderful tribute to your dear friend. I know how you feel, I am a cougar owner myself. I live with 4 bobcats and a 3 1/2 year old cougar. Our bond is like no other and I can only imagine the pain of your loss. You, just as I, are blessed to be able to share our lives with such magnificent cats. From one cougar owner to another, I am so sorry for your loss. May God bless you :o)

  • Thank You, It is a very special feeling that you get sharing your life with such a magnificent creation of God. To find an equal ground between 2 that are so opposit. As I am sure you know these cats are not for everyone as i tell most people that i talk to . But i wish you well and hope you have many happy years with your friend as i did with Brandy it is something i will treasure for the rest of my life and think about every day.

  • I'd love to know some of the things she taught you.

    We were meant to live in harmony and abundance. Your's was one in a million. Truly a blessing, an example of what is possible if we overcome our fear, ignorance, selfishness, greed and aggression...... beauty and balance.

  • The biggest thing i would be Repect and Love ;)

  • Respect and love are very important lessons for us all to learn. There is an honesty in their boldness that I admire. It may be because we tend to feed most muscle and not enough entrails. My domestic cats walk to the garden with me and enjoy eating greens like catnip, lambsquarters, sunchokes, and spinach.

  • I cannot believe all of you that are wanting a Cougar as a pet. I love Cougars, but they should remain in the wild. When they become 5-6 ft, and weigh 150-200lbs, they will not be easy to take care of, and you will have to do something with the Cougar. In some cases, they are rescued and taken to a zoo or sanctuary, but in other cases they are put down. The consequences of some will be death because humans were irresponsible in taking them in as pets.

  • First of all let me start by saying that i agree with most of what you have said, and i do a pretty good job of telling people that they dont make an ideal pet and 99.9 % should not own 1 as a pet and i can speak from experiance. It only takes a 60 lbs cat to make you think twice about owning 1. I knew several people that got 1 as a pet and they were done shortly after they turn 6 months old because they had no idea what to expect. It took me years of research to understand them .

  • Your obviously a pure hearted loving person and Brandy saw that in you and accepted you as her friend and loving owner.

    Amazing animal thank you for sharing.

    R.I.P Brandy

  • Thank You

  • This was so beautiful, thank you

  • Your Welcome ; )

  • She is beautiful and the bond was definatinely there, Cats can give u love that no other animal/ friend can May she rest in peace, sorry for you're loss

  • Thank You Very Much , I know what you mean .

    ; )

  • now i want a pet couger that sucks brandys dead..........................­by the way if ur a hot boy call 214 960 6662

  • Thank You

  • Very awesome to see Exotic pets that are being loved and cared for than to see Exotic animals in cages just for entertainment. Wish more were like you man.

  • Thank You very Much For Your Kind Words.

    She Was A Big Part Of My Life And My Family. Thanks Again

  • very beautiful. Im sorry for your loss. Im sitting here with my kitty mookie and even he was watching & made a small meow sound as if he knew...so I guess he sends his regrets too. She was very beautiful and was obviously very loved and well taken care of.

  • Thank you Very Much And Thank Mooki For Me ;)

  • That's very moving indeed ...

    Thanks for sharing these memories!

  • Thank You Very Much And Your Welcome ;)

  • This is real beautiful....

  • Thank You

  • I know the feeling ;)

  • Wow, what love.. I'm curious about the Lynx. Did you get him from the same breeder?

  • No a different 1

  • It goes to show that there is a universal amongst species. That universal is love and when you treat a creature with such love it will be returned.

  • 1000000000000%

  • sorry about your loss she looked very sweet.

  • Thank You Very Much

  • hey how do you find out were to get one?

  • I got her from a breeder but for most people i dont suggest you get 1 they can be more than a handfull. And unless your in it for the long haul dont

  • Sorry for your loss. Pets do indeed become members of the family. I once had a domestic cat that lived 19+ years. Cats have very individual personalities...

  • Yes they do

  • Thank you for sharing this. What a bond you had, you can see how close you were and always will be. Your vids made me tear too..

  • Thank You

  • Mr Jinx is just a regular ole kitty, but I feel the same about him as you do about Brandy, I KNOW I will be a wreck when that time comes

  • Probley you get close to them like they were kids

  • She knows she was well loved. You will remember her in Cougar heaven :)

  • Thanks I think it showed

  • I fell grateful to you for someway sharing with us this side of your life with your wild sweet friend.

    indigoblue555 greeting you,

  • Thank You I'm glad you enjoyed

  • that's so amazing. she's so beautiful, you're lucky to have experienced that. I've never seen such a bond between a pet and an owner, it's rly special.

    I've had two wolves, one of which died from poisoning. the other I sadly had to give to the SPCA, due to the fact I had to live in an apartment. wolves are such gentle animals. ppl think they're killers, but they're just as loyal, and loving as a regular dog. I'm sorry for your loss, and like so many have said, you have your memories.

  • Thank You It was a very Special Bond that i will never forget, I have many wonderful memories to last a life time.

  • You know, anyone who thinks that an animal cannot love clearly hasn't experienced a relationship like the one who had with Brandy. I know what it's like to have a bond with a pet, since I have the same sort of thing with my cat. She may not be a big cat, but she's still my baby and I love her very much. I can tell that Brandy simply adored you and she acted in the same way as my cat, Geri does. It is sad that you lost her, but she'll live on in your memories and you'll see each other again. n_n

  • Thank You ,Cats are Cats Big Or Small .

  • I have never seen a cat love someone more than this beautiful animal loved you...very insperational...This brought me to tears...and I'm a 19 year old kickboxer lol.

  • Thank You Everyone has a soft side no matter how tuff.

  • I can't remember the last time I was so touched,the bond you hand with her really shows,here in the UK nothing like this is allowed.I will remember this video for a long time to come,I know the feeling of losing a cat (be it only a house cat)thank you for sharing some of those last days,the world would be a better place if we had more ppl like yourself,god bless you Wdodgeboy.

  • Thank you very much I'm glad i could share this with you

  • I have always wanted a cougar or cheetah pet, but i don't think its ligal here in Denmark, so i have 4 normal housecats. And must admit i can't help to envy you the bond you two had. You must have had a really special relationship. It is far from everyone that could ever get such a relationship with a cat. It is rare especially with a big cat. You have been very lucky to find eachother. The love and trust between you is clearly there.

    There should be more men like you.

    My respect goes to you.

  • I don't know what to say except Thank You Very Much. Your words touched me very deeply and I hope i allways live up to your vision of me. I try to live a decent life but no 1 is perfect and we all have faults. I just do well with animals.

  • my heart goes out to you.

    i'm sorry for you loss..

    i want one as a pet

    but i thought it was

    illegal

  • Thank You Very Much There is a lot of red tape and i would suggest you wait till your older and do a lot of research first be well established first and know what your getting into i would advise most people not to get 1 because you will be held responsible for what might happen and it wouldent be pretty.
