Jaguar is my favorite animal, my great aunt had one she had rescued as a cub. It was like a member of the family, went everywhere she went, had her own room, her own bed (which she slept under lol). She died of starvation after my aunt passed away. Stopped eating and drinking and was found under my aunt's bed.
You could hold conversations with her, you say something and she'd grunt back, raise your voice and she'd get loud, whisper and she'd "whisper". Sat at the dinner table, loved wine coolers, make my aunt chase her around her home because she loved to steal the tv remote.
I don't know who I miss more, my aunt, or Kyynda the 200 lbs kitten.
