Just Like A Dog

Sean went on to explain that Katfish eats only deer, fish, steak, and chicken nuggets. Sean even called Katfish a dog. Sean maintained, “He was like a dog. I don’t think he knew he was an alligator. I tell people all the time I’ve got an alligator who can’t swim. He is scared of the dark and scared of thunderstorms.”

A Good Boy

Katfish strolls all around the house just like a dog. “I built him a ramp to get back in his tank because he is a big lizard. He was going to come out and play. He liked to come out and play. Oddly enough he liked to come to sit on my lap,” recalled Sean.

A Unique Bond

“He told me about how unique it was that he built this, basically a pool in his living room, and he would fill it with water. Katfish was just sitting there like me and you are sitting here right now. He used to take Katfish through the McDonalds drive-thru line, and everybody knew who he was. He would sit right next to him,” he clarified to the news crew.

Getting Katfish Back

Sean is not going to let go of the alligator come what may. And when the story went viral it turned out that there was a large fraction of population backing Sean. Everyone rooted for Sean and wanted Katfish to get back home. However, the wildlife worker too is not budging as according to them what they are doing is in the interest of Katfish.  

Stay With The Owner

The wildlife worker defended their stance by saying, “It would be great for Katfish to stay with his owner because his owner is a wonderful caretaker, but at the end of the day, we are just looking for a place where Katfish doesn’t have to move around.”

He Was Loved

Attorney Lauren Sienna, the Jungle Law attorney said, “I feel like when there is an exotic animal in Kansas City, it makes sense to call Jungle law, so people tend to reach out to us.” He also assured that the gator was taken care of very well.
