Not A Cheap Endeavor
As you might expect, it is not exactly a cheap undertaking to have a wild cat living in your home. He eats a diet of raw turkey, beef, and chicken twice per day. The couple say that each month, they pay about 20,000-40,000 rubles to feed Messi, which comes out to $300-$600 just for his food. Then there are all the other expenses.
Staying Entertained
The couple did everything they could to make sure that Messi would feel comfortable in the apartment. He loves playing with balls and empty bottles, and also a mini soccer ball that they were gifted by a Brazilian journalist. He also has a mirrored wall that keeps him entertained.
