If it acts like a cat, purrs like a cat and playfully bites at you like a cat, then double-check because it might also be a toucan.
Ripley is a young toucan living in Louisiana with her owners, Brock and Lena Miculek Afentul. While common in South America, they picked her up from a zoo breeder and she's cuddled and sometimes bitten them ever since.
Still, think twice about trying to own one for yourself, because Brock describes Ripley as "a little velociraptor with the intelligence of 4 year old." But some cat owners may use similar language.
