A picture of our youngest granddaughter in South Africa last month posing with cheetah. Yes, it was a real live one and yes, she did survive - she was here last weekend.
One for cat lovers! (Or maybe not)

Cheetahs make good pets, something of a status symbol for the ancient Egyptians and more recently for some African leaders.
Allotment, but little achieved.

wow awesome
Heh - I'd probably get mauled as my first instinct would be to grab it around the neck and give 'em a good snuggle!
Did get to take an Alpha female wolf for a walk in the woods at the Reading wolf sanctuary a few years back - that was an amazing experience. She flopped and refused to move on the way back - but did insist on many tummy rubs.

I'm quite envious - would love a close encounter with a - not vicious - big cat.

Gosh I envy her having that experience. Quite a privilege. You must be very proud of her.
But however tame it looked I would be rather fearful that I might end up being a tasty lunch!
