Cheetas are such goofs. They are nonviolent with and mostly afraid of humans by default, can be domesticated and basically act like big kitty cats when they are raised as pets. But also you probably shouldn’t do if you live in the city, looking at you Balkan mafiosi.

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.

This is funny, but it implies that the cheetah goes on to defeat the tiger in battle and… nah.

Not defeat, only bite into hand when tiger is staring down opponent. And then opponent turn into transformer and discharge through tiger body.

More like just because you’re big and a cat doesn’t mean you’re a big cat
