I met a Cheetah once at a game reserve in South Africa. She was basking in the sun and got to stroke her. She purred. Oh my god, I left a little piece of my heart on that spot forever.

@TwoClownsEating@beige.party @Kierkegaanks@beige.party I'd have been too overcome with visions of her effortlessly separating a limb from my body to go near her!

My guide said it would be ok and I was so starry eyed I didn't even question it.
The Sleight Doctor 🃏🍉@TwoClownsEating@beige.party @Kierkegaanks@beige.party What's terrifying to me is how incredibly strong they are. 'Cos they don't look like they should be! They're the greyhounds of the big cat world, optimised for speed.
But then you see them dragging big game around as if weighed no more than a large chicken, and...oh hell no. 👀
