Ackshually, cheetahs are not considered big cats. They are in the genus Acinonyx, while true big cats are Panthera and have a more rigid hyoid bone. Oddly enough the ability to purr is one of the main delineation lines that separate true big cats (Panthera), and cats that are just bigger.

My neighbors have a Maine Coon, that dude is already pretty big. And I think cheetahs are almost the same size. So I’ll go ahead and assume you’re a giant.
