Finally did a video explaining why Gabriel and these cheetahs LOVE grooming so much, me, themselves and others. A single answer is not encompassing enough, but entails many facets as to why. It basically comes down to a survival behavior that is instinctive and pleasurable so they will do it. Gabriel and some of these cheetahs can groom and purr for up to 15 minutes and I allow it so I can bond physically and socially to enrich their lives and bond with them so I can examine them him without sedation.

Cheetahs give kisses because they're good kitties.
Yep...
In the video I misspelled "Flehmen" Response (a smell and taste reaction due to the Jacobson's Organ in a cats mouth). Near the end, spelled it Phlegmon which is an inflammation of tissue. NO! Several people have asked WHY DO THESE CHEETAHS GROOM YOU SO MUCH? So I decided to answer. It's interesting for sure. Cheetahs lick and groom more than any cat species I have encountered so far. Allowing them to groom bonds you to these captive cats physically and emotionally. I make sure I have zero salves or anything on me to insure there are no chemicals transferred to them. No Sun Block! Mild soap when washing before greeting them.
Great to see another video from u Dolph...💕.I know for years u said how sand paper like cheetahs tongue are..😂😂
Thanks for the spelling clarification! I just deleted my comment about it 😊
@@dowth3 I'm SO glad you watched till the end! Or at least scrolled through it.
@@CheetahWhisperer I absolutely watched (and really enjoyed) it to the end - no scrolling here! LOVE seeing the promotion of the value of RELATIONSHIP! Bless you.
Dolph - I agree completely. I like how you mentioned that our pets feel like grooming to cats. Cats like being pet at places they can’t groom themselves: behind the ears; under the chin; on top of the head; etc.
Your cheetahs clearly enjoy hanging out with you, but they might not if you didn’t let them groom you. It’s painful, but when in Rome! It’s a good thing you let your beard grow out! It’s basically a job requirement!
I really enjoy your educational videos. You are a realist. Your cheetah friends like you because you understand them and you are nice to them. I bet they consider you to be nice part of the family, so, they want to make sure you are nice and clean to help you mask your scent when you go out to run down a gazelle 😉. True, they’ve never SEEN you run down a gazelle, but you bring back meat, so you MUST have (who knows what they truly think?).
Yup! Thx for the comment. For sure these cats 🐈 see our hands and fingers like their tongue grooming. And yes you be nice to anything, eventually they might come around to do the same. It's wonderful for another animal to value you.
Our housecat does the same thing and he especially likes grooming my beard as I hold him in my arms. He also purrs and half closes his eyes when he does it like these cheetahs. I always figured he grooms me as a show of affection because we are friends and he likes me, since he also gets visibly excited when he sees me after I've been away for a few hours. His tongue is like a tiny hair brush and it feels really nice when he combs my facial hair with it.
Yup... these lesser cats ate ALL alike. It's emotional and physical pleasure for sure. Thx for watching and commenting!
Their so cute 😭
I know. Very I secure cheetahs.
I just searched “Leopard Guy” (I MEANT CHEETAH GUY!!) cuz I hadn’t seen any of these videos in a long time and let me just say, I’m thrilled to see Dolph is still alive and making content.
Well... thx. Working on one now in fact. After I watch a horror movie.
Same here! I did search "Cheetah guy youtube", but it was after I saw a random Jaguar video on tiktok and I was like "what happened to that awesome dude?!"
This was a wonderful video! I watched it with my nephew and niece (5 &8) and they were amazed that cheetahs will groom humans and purr while doing it. Thank you!!
That is awesome! So glad youngsters watch my videos a d learn what I've learned and enjoy these wonderful animals.
@@CheetahWhisperer I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Cheetahs are very sociable animals. To say they would make great pets is an exaggeration, but with the exception of normal housecats, no other feline is as docile as a cheetah. It’s almost doglike in its behavior. Unlike almost every other feline, it is passively aggressive. If seen in the wilderness, there are practically no circumstances in which a cheetah would be a threat to a human. It doesn’t see them as a possible prey. It would either ignore you or run, and if it did approach you, it would do so out of curiosity. It’s such a beautiful, almost perfect animal.
It's what attracts me to them as well. @@dzanier
I had figured the cheetahs lick soo much because they want to look good infront of the camera.
😀
@@CheetahWhispereri am curious though have you thought of seeing how the cheetahs and some of the other felines react to cat calling
@@jacobweatherford4696 Good idea. I've played a cheetah calling for a mate to some cheetahs and recorded it. I'll add some other sounds, like their own purring and voices and a human baby crying. Post it later.
@@CheetahWhisperer plus it would be interesting to see if the cheetahs respond to pspspsps or here kitty kitty
that edit showcasing retreat of beard (during big cat licking showcase at beginning)) by going backwards in time was nice touch.
As shown by Luna the panthera most cats lick to show affection.
at least partly its a comfort / affection thing.
Ah yes loving one's human is always a good reason to lick them for most animals .)
Thx for the comments and watching my latest video! Some of the effects are templates I use and modify myself. I've gotten OK with Adobe Suite stuff.
I have two Savannah cats, and one is quite skittish but the other is my cat soulmate ❤ She has huge claws but knows that being too rough hurts me, and is a grooming machine if I let her. I can attest to the damage that tongue can do, as I was accidentally licked on the eye a few years ago. It never got infected, but my cornea is scarred and the vision is very fuzzy. I don't fault her at all, she was just trying to lick my forehead from above😆😆
Terrible about your eye. In this video, I show a cheetah licking my eye and I closed it hard but the spines gripped the lid and lifted it. Luckily no scratching.
@@CheetahWhisperer it's crazy!! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us 😻❤
Savannahs can certainly be a handful. Servals, even more so.
@@BlackEpyon I concur😆
I have an f7 savannah. Can attest to grooming machine. NEEDS to. Morning or laying there playing video games. He will also headbut you non stop until you kiss his head. Then he will stop.
Wow Gabriel is huge! I love all your videos. Thank you so much for sharing all the animals with us. Especially the cheetahs. They are my favorite kitty.
You have a very unique life. Thanks for this slice of it. 😊
So nice of you!
You live an insanely awesome life. Basically irl druid. Mad respect. Wishing nothing but the absolute best for you and the animals you have the good fortune of meeting! 💚
I appreciate that
Gabriel has the best purr I've ever heard. ♥
AHHH.... He loves to purr. Thx.
Thank you for the amazing video and information on these amazing animals!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Always fascinating; always enjoyable. I am always in awe with gratitude. Thank you ever so much.
Glad you enjoyed it
hey man love your videos! a lot of people take snippets of your content and upload them to TH-cam shorts and I always try to steer them in the direction of your channel. I'm working for my degree in zoology and I just love your content keep it up!
I appreciate that!
Thanks for the information about this wonderful animal!
Our pleasure!
Great to see u again dolph...❤.. for years you've said how sand paper like cheetahs tongues are..😂😂
Right?! And that's why the beard. I barely feel it unless they lick my skin.
You live a charmed life sir (in the work you do). ✊🏼
I try
Amazing stuff. Thanks for sharing again :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really enjoy your videos about the animals. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you like them!
I’ve been binge watching your videos. Great stuff 👍🏾
Glad you like them!
Another fascinating video full of the most beautiful animals. I ❤ your channel. I dream of coming to visit you and the cats one day xoxo
Thank you very much! Consider volunteering. www.runningwildconservation.org
Very informative…
Thank you very much!
Glad it was helpful!
Man, you are so lucky to get to hang out with these awesome animals. I have always had cats and wanted to work with wild animals like this, but it seems like the only way to find a paying job in this field is to do volunteer work so you can actually get experience (which I haven't been able to make time for.) Is there any way you could do a video about how to get into this field? Thanks.
Yeah, 90% of those working at these places are former vollies. Rest is family or friends.
Really enjoyed the video..just amazing
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheetahs love to love but it's an adaptation for survival.
@@CheetahWhisperer thanks for the reply sir....keep doing your self less work sir...may god bless you 🙏
Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure!
Awww, they're so happy! :) ❤❤❤
:) happiness is... anyone can find it.
that thing about the hair makes me wonder how domestic Sphinx cats handle grooming themselves (apparently if you have a sphinx you're supposed to bathe them regularly) given sphinxes have normal cat tongues
Yeah, if they have soft tongues, no help.
Well, having no hair, they don't really need the rough tongues, do they?
i love seeing the old clip, shows how far dolph has come
Thanks! I've learned so much since my green horn early days and hope that I share all of it.
Love your videos. You definitely seem to have the same response from big cats that I get from random house cats.
Maybe our ancestors survived by having a scent that big cats loved enough to protect - instead of preying upon them
Yes... we are natural animal attractant. Good or bad. Turn it into Good 👍.
Thank you for sharing Dolph,, 💖😋💖
You are so welcome
@@CheetahWhisperer 🙏
@@CheetahWhisperer You know what Dolph,, 😅. I think Cheetas are Scandinavians or Italians.
We do also like to kiss and hug on our friends,, ❤🔥😘🤗❤🔥
Love the videos and the way you work with these animals.
Did any one ever tell you that you look like Louis C.K. went into Zoology and Cheetahs?
Glad you enjoyed the videos! Yeah, been compared to Louis, Dustin Hoffman, coach Popovich and others like JigSaw but not a fan of Louis.
Wonderful 😍😍😍😍
Nice to know all these new things about cheetahs and other animals never knew my cats had that organ thing and do you ever get tired of a cheetah grooming you?
this behaviour might be puzzling for many cultures, but it's more like parents kissing their kids on the cheeks, or how the southern half of Europe kiss eachother on the cheeks when greetings, Arabs do it too but with more reservations (men and women aren't allowed to kiss eachother on the cheeks unless it's a mother-son, or father-daughter) etc... for us, Cheetahs are just doing the cat version of that behaviour.
also, when I had a cat, I taught him to kiss me on the cheek instead of licking me, he was a smart boy and once I started kissing him on the cheeks, he copied me and quit licking people.
most cats are introverts, but if you socialize them, they will pick up on your social habits and be warm towards you.
I watched one of your older videos where you slept in a pen with Eden and Faith and you mentioned in that one that the grooming is quite painful. My question is: 7 years later, does it still hurt as much or does your skin/scalp become hardened to it over time?
Awesome videos featuring awesome animals. Keep up the good work!
Thx for watching! I grew a full beard and my arms are naturally hairy and except for my ears and back of neck, I don't feel the pain anymore due to my hair growth.
After 7 years, I'm back in here and it's good to see that this man hasn't turned into the cheetahs breakfast or lunch...😂😂😂
So glad you returned too!
Thanks for video, Dolph! Some interesting facts about cats.Have a question for you - housecats (not all) pull off tongue, when hear a hair comb or fork sound, what do leopards or cheetahs?
I love how gabe will hold you down to groom you too lol awhile back my grandmother had a cat that used to hold my face to lick me an if i moved i got swatted lol an my moms dog used to do it too
Also how soft is his fur lol
Yeah Gabriel Loves to groom. It's very pleasurable to him and he loves me for allowing it. Yep holding me down assures he gets all the grooming he wants. But I always wait for him to finish either way.
Not as soft as house cats and kinda wooly sleek and course based on where you touch. Amd they are very warm. From 99 to 102f.
@@CheetahWhisperer thats awesome though ^^ the fur texture sounds almost like certain dog furs ^^ much love to you an the big kities
I love cheetahs and eevrything about them its amazing to see how strong of a bond you can form with a animal everyone asumes is dangerous and will kill you i hope i can do what your doing when i grow up its so cool to be able to save a species and be around them and form a bond with them i bet there is no beter feeling than gaining the trust of an animal
Glad I have inspired you.
@@CheetahWhisperer iam glad you did too keep up the great work
Cheetahs are the cutest animals on this planet you cant convince me otherwise especialy gabriel hes the best
Love their cute childish squeaks and meows...
Always love your vids!! Must feel so lovely and fluffy cuddling them 😍😍 does their coat feel waxy? Thick? Or do they feel like a typical house cat? 🐆
Glad you are a fan. I did a video about what a cheetah feels like. Not soft like a cheetah but different areas are fluffy, soft, sleek and wooly and changes with the seasons. Here is the video.

That adorable sand paper tongue scratching your skin 🤣🤣
He loves it so much. Thx for watching.
Nice and entertaining video. Will they create a new deodorant "Cheeta's breath" for the feline insise of you ?😂😂
I hope so! Great idea. Cheetah spit in small vials to sell online.
@@CheetahWhisperer People do manage so sell bathwater after all..
lovely！
So cute.
I just saw some heartbreaking photos on google i saw a picture of a cheetah laying on the ground like it was asleep and i went to the site of the picture and it was named "african hunting" i scrolled trough the pictures and saw that that cheetah wasnt asleep but shot and killed he had a picture showing of the teeth of the cheetah there was blood on them and on its nose i couldnt watch that stuf so i clicked it away that stuf really broke my heart the cheetah is already an endangered species with declining numbers and poeple still hunt them there are some evil poeple in this world luckely there are also poeple like you who help the cheetah survive and not kill them
Yeah. The world is filled with triumph and tragedy. It's good to know there exists both so you can be informed and educated about it. Join and support those who try to make a difference.
@@CheetahWhisperer i defently will i hope i can help the animals in africa ehen iam older i dont want to just stand and watch them go extinct luckely we have people like you in the world who help the animals instead of killing them its just sad to see the cheetahs lions leopards and all other animals slowly go extinct but with poeple like you who help save all those species from extinction there is still hope to save them
@@deandewilde4658 right on...
Gabriel: Gonna groom this weird lion before it does kill me 😂😂
I was just admiring my own house cat cleaning her face with her paw after eating, like she does every single time she eats, and I started wondering if wild cats do the same thing. They must, right? But I've never seen it, so i came to youtube and ended up here. Do you have any videos of wild cats cleaning their faces after meals, or could you take some videos of it? Or do they not clean their own faces like domestic cats and just do it for each other?
My own cats never groom me or anyone else, and rarely each other. They arent super physically affectionate haha. But i have known cats who do, and they resembled that sweet cheetah sooo much with the deep purring and half closed eyes, & even nipping ❤
His breath smelling nice and the deodorizing saliva is so cool. I definitely noticed that as a kid - just how GOOD my cat smelled. I thought her fur always veeerrry mildly smelled like cinnmon, so I named her Cinnamon 😂
So glad you watched the video and had something to relate to it.
"We know what's good for yoy! Now stay sill, you messy hoooman!"
Love how Gabriel loved to love back. He gets very happy. All that purring!
I hope i can one day suport you more than i do now i can now only send nice messages and like your videos but when iam a litle older i hope that i can donate some money too i really apreciate what your doing for these animals and seing the reactions and afection the animals show you i think they apreciate it too
It's fine. Watching the vids, the ads, commenting and sharing with friends really helps.
@@CheetahWhisperer your the only youtuber where id watch every single ad to help
@@deandewilde4658 😉🐆
Omg I wish I were a guy with a beard so a cheetah could groom me on my beard 😅 Lucky you 👍🏻♥️
It's nice to see, hear, and feel them SO close. Their purrs vibrate their upper body and looking into their eyes inches away is certainly magical moments. I'll film a shoulder cam video of Gabriel one day and post.
@@CheetahWhisperer Yes, exactly you’re so lucky and blessed to have that amazing experience in your life. Please do share the shoulder cam video you of Gabriel, would love to watch it 🐆 👍🏻💕
I guess for the same reason humans wants to pet all animals, it releases endorphins and makes us feel good.
Probably from evolution, since primates often do social grooming too.
😄🙃🥰💯❤SWEET AND BEAUTIFUL.......🐆🤗💋👍!!!
Wow, they just keep lickin, don't they
It's FUNNY! Worse than dogs.
Licking/grooming is common amongst many terrestrial mammals. The rationale is largely the same for all of them.
Letting any of them lick really helps in them trusting you. Like shaking a humans hand and holding shoulder.
4:30 xD
Despite the roughness of the tongue and the horrendous breath, it was always a pretty sweet bonding moment when my cat would groom me. 😛
Breath actually smells GOOD like a mild soap. I explain why in the video. Deosldoriz9ng agent in cats and cheetahs saliva that masks stinks.
But yeah the grooming would hurt and cut if I didn't grownthe beard. Have to keep moving my arms when he moves to there.
Thx for watching!
Both our cats always liked grooming me but liked to scratch and hiss anyone else. I'll never work that out. All cats seem to like me?
Really depends on who raised them when cubs up to 5 months. Whatever they encountered up until them is basically trusted. Harder to win them over unless they are more relaxed and easy going. But can and takes time.
I was from day 3-4 I think They opened their eyes at me. I miss them so badly now....... Thanks.@@CheetahWhisperer
I wonder if the large cats that are more like dogs/housecats around humans (servals, chetahs, caracals, etc), are like that because of the empathy gradient. Maybe they simply evolved to have more of it. So they are more nuanced with their predatory behavior vs social behavior. Rather than a lion, where one mistake and it will kill you.
You can say the same with whales, dolphins etc. They dont kill people (accidents aside) and actively seek them out for help. Their consciousness is just more evolved in empathy and because of that social behavior/nuances. Also brings the Serval conflict resolution ritual to mind.
Interesting. I love studying highly intelligent species. It could be a number of things. I suspect Lessor cats die if more aggressive against large predators. Being less aggressive helps you to survive.
My Savannah cat licks my arm hair. His tongue is sandpaper as well.
Cats love to groom hair. It was my conclusion.
When I was 15 we moved out to a small farm, and started raising our own beef. We never trained any of our cows to lead or anything, but my dad liked to socialize with our first heifer. She'd groom him while he scratched her. And yep, it was on his beard, but much more often on his head. He'd come back inside with the hair on one side sticking straight up. Too funny. At least cow tongues aren't rough!
I was quite ungroomed in my grade school years and had hair that would stick up. Cows have horrible sandpaper tongues.
@@CheetahWhisperer Oh dear; sounds like one...big...uh, really, I didn't think this through before starting to type...cowlick. (I swear, I didn't do it deliberately! I find it hard to make puns on purpose. Inadvertently, yep, you bet; they just come rollicking along.)
Cow tongues rough? Hm. Our Black Angus didn't have rough tongues. I wonder why? Am I completely mis-remembering?
@@monicapdx Amazingly, ungulates and cats adapted to the same rough tongues, but for different reasons. A cheetah needs it to lick cow meat off bones and comb fur while cows use the sandpaper tongue to grip vegetation. Giraffes have terrible stony tongues that helps them grip tree libs. Young ones are softer tongues as they are not fully developed. Helps prevent cutting the nibbles when nursing.
@@CheetahWhisperer This is one of the reasons I love your channel. I always learn even more when I comment. 😁 Interesting on cow tongues. I knew they had no upper incisors, and that they wrap their tongues around grass to hold it against the cutting edge of the lower incisors. Had no idea about roughness, which certainly would help with the grip. Lots of graze isn't all that delicate, either. I guess I didn't personally get licked too much. I was usually only feeding some salt or a handful of oats. I did enjoy that Black Angus have black tongues. Very interesting about giraffes, too. New info to me, but considering what they eat, it seems obvious once you know it. 😄
Now you've got me wondering about donkeys and horses, who both have softer tongues. Our family having had both, though, I know well that donkeys can eat far rougher vegetation than horses. However, my first horse, like our donkeys, would happily eat thistles. He was some indeterminate mix, but you could tell he had a lot of pony blood. (He'd get nearly a 4' coat in winter, and shed enough of it in spring to almost make a real horsehair mattress.) I aways wondered if that contributed to his enjoyment of something as rough as thistles. Ponies usually developed in marginal territory and eat a lot like donkeys if they have to. He was a tad more careful than the donkeys, but grazed about the same amount of them. Even the big, mature ones. My second horse was a purebred, fancy breed, and he wouldn't dream of putting his delicate nose near thistles. He was thin-skinned, too. I wasn't surprised at him having a much finer coat than my first horse, but I didn't think of the connection to thickness of skin until I accidentally rode him through a big patch of nettles. Pepper, my first, ignored nettles. Poor Brig started dancing around in pain. I got him out of them fast, dismounted to check, and he was covered in big, visible welts. From only a few feet into the patch! Luckily there was a creek on the property so I could apply mud right away. Poor boy. I felt terribly guilty.
@@monicapdx Horses and donkeys have soft tongues. Not sure why versus cows. They eat the same things.
Yeah my cat loves grooming my ears, every nooks and crannies.
Ha... you know! The occasional bites hurt though. And the ruff tongue.
Question: are the "lashes" of a cat lashes like humans or an extension of fur over their eyes. I've had cats all my life (domestic house cats) but never paid attention to this. We know the reason for the lashes but since an issue about this arose recently it made me wonder. I have very large close up photos of a leopard, cheetah & lion but it's difficult to tell which it is - some photos look like fur, some like the lashes similar to humans. Thanks.
My cats have "eyelashes"
Yeah, cheetahs have the envy of women everywhere with long natural dark black eye lashes...
it seems very strange to let them groom you so much. but if it's really to grow a bond with an animal like that, i guess it's understandable.
Yeah...as humans it's weird to lick so much, but think of the similarity of us humans chatting or talking 👄 so much to each other all the time. It's our human nature. To a cheetah 🐆 it's dumb and dangerous. Your announcing yourself to danger! Be quiet 🤫!
A cheetah or predators are very quiet... rarely speak or make noises so nothing can detect them. They walk silently. They call when necessary, like for cubs or a mate. Their purrs are barely audible unless close.
A cheetah licks and grooms a lot to maintain tidyness. Addicted to it and helps hide you and them from predators and prey and it's enjoyable to them. It's why I let them get their fill until they walk away and done. They love you for it. House cats too.
Is it true that lions can actually lick the top layer of skin off of you? I heard they have extra rough tongues.
I encountered young 6mo old lion cubs but they did NOT lick at all. I don't know but larger tongue, larger spines... I bet.
❤❤❤

Hey dolph who is the father of kimi and kayzer I always wanted to know
That is Skyler. His mom is Shadow, both here at this project Running Wild Conservation and their cheetahs so I can't show them unfortunately. They are are more strict about filming their cheetahs as apposed to mine. The exception if Kayzer brother cub who is owned by RWC but born from Abi who I own legally. Due to breeders agreement.
Its partly for the salt and mostly for the social kinetiction Dolph have you been to the wolf sanitary to be groomed by a timber wolf 🐺
That's right! Anyone who works with these animals directly will realize it. Thansk for commenting!
In germany we say "Milch kneten" - knead the body for milk, do big cats also knead for milk?
I've seen leopards do this kneeding and suckling thing on the staff that raised it. Right on the person's back. It was to pacify itself and knew there was no milk. It enjoyed it.
Wild mother cats stop the behavior or the cub would keep doing it. They run out-of milk and ready to mate again after ridding themselves of their cubs that are grown up.
We humans allow the child/cub behavior to continue. I think it's both cute and serves a bonding purpose for captive animals that makes them safer to help and work with.
wow, this is interesting. I love to see, how gently this cats are (on there way). What they might think about us humans :D
Thank you for your answer :)@@CheetahWhisperer

Id imagine part of the reason they groom soo much is because they see we never groom ourselves and think they need to clean us up
Yeah... we dirty ungroomed humans, to a cat. We foul so quickly.
the only problem with being licked by a cheetah is the tongue its like sandpaper.
Yes... thus the beard. Not really liking it but I feel no pain now or cuts, except on my ear when he nibbles and bites on it.
Do they gave rough tongues like domestic cats do?
Sorry, just saw about 6 minutes in the answer to my own question
Well thx for looking!
Arh Eden❤, my first vid: napping with Eden❤
Ahhhh... Wonderful Eden. She loved people and actively sought out closeness and loved to snuggle.
She'd push her cheeks on your face when laying down next to you and you could see she would try and sneak her head close to you and hope you would not object. Cats like speading their scent glands on you to own you. She also had the best purr of any cheetah I've heard so far. Both in and exhale had resonance.
Like our domestic cats do. Tho the wild cats are much more detailed.
Yep...
Oh, now I understand why you wear a beard. Cheetah grooming must be like being groomed with razor blades.
Yep... 👅
I personally prefer my cougars to your cheetahs..
What I would give to be in that position,
It's really nice to be loved by an animal and special when it's a predator. Consider volunteering your time to such places and it doesn't have to be a wild predator park or this South African cheetah breeding center. Start somewhere like your local shelter, zoo or sanctuary near you.
thank you and that is so true@@CheetahWhisperer

So much love...
.May Allah protect you all
My big wish is to get groomed by those animals!!!. What would happen if I go here where you are with the cheetahs and go onfront them in order to get licked (Groomed by them)???...
Most that were tamed would groom folks. This project had ended the practice for their cheetahs due to potential chemicals or bacterial transfers. I allow my cheetahs to groom me because it helps bonding but I don't use any salves and make sure I'm clean before each encounter.
@@CheetahWhispererinvite me to be here and to get groomed by cheetahs, please!!!...If I woyld be here what would happen???
Na, like I said, they ended all grooming due to the reasons I mentioned. Besides it cuts you to point of bleeding.@@nicolas2008alcubo
