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

      We’re too big and too dangerous.

      A cheetah would need to be very desperate to attack a human.

    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.

      I was gonna say, nobody is calling cheetahs dangerous. 🙄

    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.

    Cheetahs aren’t dangerous to humans, they hang out with and even nuzzle up to wildlife photographers all the time.

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

        Don’t have a lot of energy, and have to save it for sprinting.

    Just imagine it lapping at the juices leaking from the shredded remains of your face. Glad to help!

      Worse, cat tongues are barbed and are actually abrasive. They can literally lick your face off given enough time.

    Imagine your cat was big enough to rip your arm off at playtime. That’s why.
