There are so many things that we love about big cats, like how fierce they are, how beautiful, how majestic. But one of the things that we love the most about them is that, sometimes, big cats can act so much like house cats. Seriously, big cats react to catnip the same way that house cats do. Big cats can do bleps the same way that house cats can. And some big cats, perhaps unexpectedly, also meow just like itty bitty house cats. 

No matter how much you prepare yourselves for it, we promise you that if you've never heard a cheetah meow before, nothing will lessen the shock of it for you. That sound is the last sound you would expect to come out of an animal like that. Which is why we love it even more. It's so unexpected and ridiculous in a way that all it makes us want to do is go out there and… pet a cheetah or something.

    Nothing, nothing, nothing could have prepared us for that sound, and we've even heard it before. It's just- looking at this majestic, incredible, fierce and dangerous creature and then hearing that is so insanely unexpected. We love it so much.

    Yep, we also want to go out there and become best friends with a cheetah after watching this. Like, we already wanted to before, because no self-respecting crazy cat person doesn't want to pet some cheetahs, but now, we want to even more. If not cat, why meow?

    Font - Shaun Burgess @Burgess21Shaun Replying to @todayyearsoldig Another interesting fact about Cheetahs: You see those black tear drops running down their eyes. Their purpose is to reflect sunlight during the day, especially while they hunt. Cheetahs are diurnal (active during the day) whereas all other larger cats are nocturnal 9:22 PM - Mar 19, 2023 · 22.8K Views

    Font - PastaWeasel @PastaWeasel Replying to @todayyearsoldig and @Good Reddit Interestingly enough, they aren't big cats. Contrarily to popular belief, cats like mountain lions and cheetahs are not big cats and more closely related to domestic cats. Snow leopards and clouded leopards, despite being big cats, can't roar either. 2:54 AM Mar 20, 2023 13.2K Views
