    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.
