It is definitely a Fishing Cat. They are, unfortunately, treated as pets by some. But it certainly isn't a good idea as no matter how tame they may seem at first, they ARE wild animals.
As for this one, I doubt the comment is real as there was an entire series of photos of a fishing cat in someone's home awhile back. I think the title is to drum up more votes.
