    Cheetahs are apparently super chill as long as they’re not hungry, otherwise they’ll eat you so they can be super chill again.

      I don’t think even a hungry cheetah is going to kill an adult human, they’re fast sure but too weak and would be unlikely to engage. They don’t show much aggression to humans and are easy to tame. There has never been a lethal attack on humans from a wild cheetah.

          Well, they actually skirt the rules to stay out of the record books. They say it’s good strategy, but I think they’re all cheetahs.

    Cheetahs are not actually dangerous to humans. Their skulls/jaws are pretty small and they are slender to be aerodynamic, and they need to be uninjured to hunt, so they avoid confrontation at all costs, especially with something the size of a human.

    Domestic cats are not actually much different than wild cats in any way. they’re just too small to eat us and raised to be more tame. If your loveable housecat was as big as a cheetah, they might not intentionally attack you out of aggression, but their predator instincts would kick in and would probably play with you until you died and possibly eat you like they do insects, lizards, and any other small creature.

      I read an interview with a zoologist which described cats as evolutionarily perfect. Their dna really only varies primarily for size. All cats all over the world have survived with no need to seriously adapt to their environment.

        no need to seriously adapt to their environment.

        Yeah, cats make everyone and everything adapt to their environment. You have to completely go outside the environment to avoid their influence.

      Cheetahs are apparently the most chill of the big cats, people do keep them as pets.

      My local zoo will actually let people meet the cheetahs, and I can’t imagine that happening with the tigers.

        Apparently cheetahs aren’t “big cats”, they’re just large versions of small cats. They share features like purring and meowing, and their temperaments are closer to housecats than a tiger or lion.

        It’d probably let you. They’re pretty chill cats.

    Sometimes I conjure up the delusion that having a big feline is doable if raised from birth because my little feline is such an adorable baby that she shows her belly to literally everyone she sees even when she’s never met them. But even this cute ball of fluff will dig her claws into my leg to avoid falling when she rolls over while napping on my lap. Imagine if those claws were 4 cm.
