Cheetahs were used as hunting pets by the Egyptians way way back, more like a dog than a cat tempremant wise and they only hunt small game, rabbits, small dieer shit like that so they're never gonna take your arm off, could inflict a reasonable wound if provoked no doubt but really a firly docile type of cat and easily domesticated, so fess up MM, can ayone do it if they pay for the priviledge and where at?
I love Cheetahs worlds most awesome cat I reckon

yeah, anyone can do it, although there are a couple of restrictions (age, height, mobility). That was what the Honda rider bought me for Xmas.
Cost about $150, $190 for the King cheetah. Includes zoo entry and a certificate.
Next ? Hmmm, really would like to do the Zooventure tour, where you get to feed the tigers and lions, pat the cheetahs, and let the bears lick honey off your hand....

We're heading to the National Zoo today, but unfortunately we won't be getting that up-close and personal with the King Cheetahs! I am very jealous!

there's only one King Cheetah there, those I patted are ordinary, every day cheetahs.
When I came back to the Honda Rider, I just wanted to do the biggest happy dance, but I thought I should try to act a bit mature, cos he would have been embarassed.
