Yes one time my cat slept on my face I woke up in the middle of the night with a hot soft furry black thing on my face and I just later layed him aside carefully without waking him up
Cheetahs are known for being very affectionate and get along with humans better than many other big cats. They also are very anxious animals so oftentimes will be given a therapy dog or therapy human lol
“Similar to a dog, a cheetah has to find a perfect spot before lying down.” Similar to a cat (which it is), it chooses the location of your head as the resting spot.
Fun fact: Apparently cheetahs are naturally timid animals and get anxious/nervous easily when they grow up in captivity. Some zoos have emotional support dogs to be companions for these cheetahs.
Yes... non aggressive by nature (a survival trait to avoid fights which they lose to larger predators and leopards). Even mean ones are not dangerous if you respect them. They can even get used to you.
Another fun fact: If the cheetahs are emotionally abusive to the emotional support dogs, the support dogs have prairie dog companions assinged to them. If the support dogs are emotionally shallow to the prarie dogs, the prairie dogs get circus trained cockroaches to make them smile. When you step on a cockroach, then you're basicallly killing a cheetah
Personally, I've never heard of Cheetahs attacking humans. They appear to be like house cats. I'd be terrified a lion or tiger, but Cheetahs always seemed more neutral to humans. It must be amazing to cuddle with such amazing critters!
Animals see us as big as we are tall, so they naturally think we are much bigger threat. And yeah, while this here is domesticated - doesn't change the fact of that. And they are kind of delicate. Human can hurt them badly, even without a weapon : /
Wouldn't say never, but very rare in captivity. So few human and cheetah encounters occur in the 'wild' that attacks on humans by cheetah have not been recorded. A rabid wild female cheetah did attack someone bit was not in her right mind. Captive attacks on humans happen. Dozen or more posted recordings of it. I've known of non reported ones as well. But on average, not like lion attacks on humans.
@@CheetahWhisperer Overall I'd only be absolutely terrified of they displayed non social traits when approaching me. That said, being playful is also dangerous, but I'd rather have a friendly bite than my face getting eaten off... They usually seem to run away when in the wild; I'd imagine their speed is not just for prey.

Snakes are very intelligent and social animals, much like cats. A lot of people have misconceptions about animals where they're just mindless eating machines, but that's not really how any species operates in practice. Reptiles are warm and affectionate problem solvers that bond with their families, their friends, and (when applicable) their human caregivers. You can cuddle a crocodile the same way this man cuddled that cheetah, and for the same reason: these animals naturally live in groups and bond with conspecifics, which includes a lot of laying around making bodily contact with each other. Crocs do this. Cats do this. Snakes do this. Humans do this. It's pretty universal tbh.
@genegray9895 Reptiles still are less emotional than mammals, especially snakes. They do feel emotion. But it is too important that a reptile, especially a snakes brain, is simply built differently from a mammal on average. They do feel emotion, yes, but it's a lot more primal, which there's nothing wrong with. It just simply means they don't hold grudges to such an extent something like an elephant would. And it does depend on species. Smaller snakes are typically more passive and willing to operate together. Larger ones, less so. It's really about species, as you'd expect. Intelligence and emotion are also separate things. Snakes are quite smart, and they're often discredited for that. A lot of snakes hunt mice, which are remarkably smart. You'd have to at least be somewhat smart to counteract that...
@@zombiedalekweck2243 I don't agree that emotions and intelligence are separate. They're clearly coupled, with more intelligent animals being associated with more emotional behaviors and vice versa. The brain is responsible for intelligence and for emotion, and judging the relative capacities for emotion and intelligence using brain anatomy is historically very unreliable. Also, birds are reptiles, and birds have mammal-like brain complexity, intelligence, and emotional capacity, so it's not entirely clear cut. But I think we agree much more than we disagree and I'm not trying to argue just for the sake of arguing.

Glad you cat is like these cheetahs. It started out an experiment. I had no idea what to expect other than them telling me to watch out for Faith's Love bites. But since them, I've returned 3 times past 2 years and book rooms inside the cheetahs enclosures and others every night I'm there for weeks on end. I use my volunteer room for storage only :) It's absolutely incredible - wonderful experience. What makes it special is they enjoy the company as well and all snuggle up, purr, groom and lay on you most of the night. It is very special considering it's an endangered species that loves spending nights with you. But, I have learned many things about these cheetahs because being so close.
I bet it's an powerful experience! :) Would love to meet a Cheetah one day, not share a bed with two of them perhaps but just to be close to one. I've actually met an Amur Leopard though, through a fence cause those guys can't be tamed like a Cheetah, but still, powerful stuff and a really powerful cat. What country is this happening in? And what does the experience cost e.t.c?
It is in South Africa in Bloemfontein and called Cheetah Experience. Look it up. www.cheetahexperience.com. I volunteer and it costs the ticket to fly there, and about $40 per day to live communally. Live in volunteer house and fed breakfast and lunch only. Laundry transportation and everything is provided. Well worth it. My very 1st day I was able to babysit a young cheetah and spend the night, feed them while inside their enclosures, walk them on a harness and spend quality time DAY 1. You watch some of the young ones 24/hrs due to their vulnerability to sickness and harm. Some of the cheetahs require getting to know before spending the night with them or encountering them by yourself during the day, but it only takes a couple of days to get acquainted. Just feed them, pet, and play with them with toys, and allow them to lick you and they will learn to trust and like you. Cheetahs are an amazing hidden secret of the wild cat world. Very much like house cats. Leopards are not far behind in trust, but nothing like cheetahs.
Amazing how she trusts him so much. Even regular domesticated cats hate having their enclosures or spots invaded, as they're very protective of the things they own. This is the definition of a cat's trust.
To anybody who doesn’t know, cheetahs are the only “wild large cat” that can be domesticated, they are not like lions or tigers what so ever, they are way way smaller, less strong, not as aggressive. The ancient Egyptians used them like dogs to help them hunt, and had them as pets like dogs. These cats are chill And won’t hurt you as long as you keep them fed and don’t fuck with them. 10/10 awesome animals wish I could have one

I could never do this. After a bit, of laying there, I'd fall to the irresistible urge to blow a big fat loud raspberry on the cheetah's warm happy tummy, and then I would die.

@@anotherskyofours there is so many discoveries we think that are ours. but thats not the case, humanity as a collective build its knolage over hundreds of thousands of years. on a indivisual level we wouldnt be able to do any of the things that humanity did as a collective, we use humanity history and learn and increase the knolage of humanity as a whole and in that since we are apart of somthing bigger then our self. the reason why we evolved the way we are to be more fitted for communication rather combat. so 1 person with their own knolage alone. probally not a big of a threat compairer to a group of people.

"Social experiment" my ass. You just want to cuddle a Cheetah. I don't blame you. This is just a big cat. My cat displays the EXACT same behavior.
Glad you cat is like these cheetahs. It started out an experiment. I had no idea what to expect other than them telling me to watch out for Faith's Love bites. But since them, I've returned 3 times past 2 years and book rooms inside the cheetahs enclosures and others every night I'm there for weeks on end. I use my volunteer room for storage only :)
It's absolutely incredible - wonderful experience. What makes it special is they enjoy the company as well and all snuggle up, purr, groom and lay on you most of the night. It is very special considering it's an endangered species that loves spending nights with you. But, I have learned many things about these cheetahs because being so close.
I bet it's an powerful experience! :) Would love to meet a Cheetah one day, not share a bed with two of them perhaps but just to be close to one.
I've actually met an Amur Leopard though, through a fence cause those guys can't be tamed like a Cheetah, but still, powerful stuff and a really powerful cat.
What country is this happening in? And what does the experience cost e.t.c?
It is in South Africa in Bloemfontein and called Cheetah Experience. Look it up. www.cheetahexperience.com. I volunteer and it costs the ticket to fly there, and about $40 per day to live communally. Live in volunteer house and fed breakfast and lunch only. Laundry transportation and everything is provided. Well worth it.
My very 1st day I was able to babysit a young cheetah and spend the night, feed them while inside their enclosures, walk them on a harness and spend quality time DAY 1. You watch some of the young ones 24/hrs due to their vulnerability to sickness and harm.
Some of the cheetahs require getting to know before spending the night with them or encountering them by yourself during the day, but it only takes a couple of days to get acquainted. Just feed them, pet, and play with them with toys, and allow them to lick you and they will learn to trust and like you. Cheetahs are an amazing hidden secret of the wild cat world. Very much like house cats. Leopards are not far behind in trust, but nothing like cheetahs.
Thanks for the info! :)
Cats are domesticated. Cheetas are wild and feral. There's a difference. A huge difference. An even more dangerous difference, take note.
Amazing how she trusts him so much. Even regular domesticated cats hate having their enclosures or spots invaded, as they're very protective of the things they own. This is the definition of a cat's trust.
People realized that rather than hunting wild animals to make luxury items, they could just use the animals
Fr
Help them for sure would be better than hunting them. Our world is in such imbalance from predator / prey.
To anybody who doesn’t know, cheetahs are the only “wild large cat” that can be domesticated, they are not like lions or tigers what so ever, they are way way smaller, less strong, not as aggressive. The ancient Egyptians used them like dogs to help them hunt, and had them as pets like dogs. These cats are chill And won’t hurt you as long as you keep them fed and don’t fuck with them. 10/10 awesome animals wish I could have one
You mean tamed, right? Domestication takes many generations of breeding.
@@GeraltofRivia22 in a way, the cheetah may be domesticated as he says depending on if it's ancestors were kept in zoos or animal sanctuaries.
@@GeraltofRivia22 just one generation of cheetah captivity could "domesticate" a cheetah since they'd be reliant of humans from the start
Mountain lions are the same way. They are the only big cats the purr and meow like domestic cats
unless you mean taming as an adult, which I would not advice trying on a cougar lol
Imagine you sleeping then waking up in heaven edit: damn I commented the first wave of recommended, now there was another wave getting me more likes. It’s April 23 rn Will unedit when I get a nonification of this comment again

rip for your cat bro, hope you're doing well
Shoulda taxidermied him into a pillow
They like it...
Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “falling fast asleep”
Everybody gangsta until this man brings cheetah in a pillow fight.
This comment is underrated
this is criminally underrated
*ha cheetah go zoom zoom for the cheetoh*
Wait, you guys dont bring cheetah to pillow fights?
i love how this is 5 years old but most of the comments are 15 to 10 minutes ago
I know!
That is the TH-cam algorithm in a nutshell
Its coz u have comments on newest first
"Ok guys, who wants pillow fight?"
nice
Not me neh.
I think the guy that sleeps with a Kodak Bear as a pillow would win
*calls the pillow man*
(Grabs cheetah by feet and yeets it on to another person)
I’m convinced this guy just really wanted to sleep with cheetahs
I don't want to have a pillow fight with this dude
LMAO

@Hi and bye just wait...
This comment should have 1 comment
So, how to get this pillow? I got low specs rn and need an upgrade. Super hard to dream in 720p at 30fps
"Conducted a social experiment" my ass, you just wanted to have the coolest sleepover ever. xD
This was posted 8 years ago, yet the top comments are from 1 or 2 days ago…this suddenly just got reccomended now 😂
8 years in the making...
Na, I set newest comments 1st so I could read and respond. But, TH-cam allows the viewer to change the order of comments. Default is oldest.
Now YT improved and shows me ALL new comments so I get them all as they come in. I don't get that many that I, can't respond to most.
You don't wanna get into a pillow fight with that guy!
Right on.... the pillow literally bites back.
"flipping my cheetah over to the cold side"

why is deadly predator friend shaped?

They seem much more social than your average house cat
I know... seems it but even the 5 house cats 🐈 at this project are quite friendly sleep with you run purr lay on your lap...
Rescue animals are always really needy including house cats
When you see this video and the cheetah is so calm, and you look over at your cat on your bed, sending a death glare your way.
TH-cam Algorithm: You’re probably wondering why I gathered you all here today
I am glad you all are HERE!
This cheetah cannot control the strength of her bite, therefor
*i used her as a pillow*

“She has a tendecy to lovebite, it is very dangerous” 💀
Those who didn't know know or take precautions show the scars. She got a hold of my watch one time while it was on my wrist and I had to break the band to escape. She would not let go.
@@CheetahWhisperermy (small) cat also does that, whenever she wants me to stay she grabs my hand and bites. If you try to pull your hand away she will use her claws and bite harder

Jason Skip I see your last name is skip. maybe skip this fucking comment instead of complaining dipshit
I could never do this. After a bit, of laying there, I'd fall to the irresistible urge to blow a big fat loud raspberry on the cheetah's warm happy tummy, and then I would die.
this is the funniest shit i've seen today

I just busted out laughing at ur comment,that woke up my pit rocco,who decided he might as well go out to pee,it's almost midnight, thanks a lot ,this is all ur fault lol
After 9years, TH-cam algorithm recommended this.. I hope they are still alive and healthy
Both are doing fine! Thank you. Faith the cheetah is 11 years old now. She had a tooth fixed earlier this year and I've seen her on Facebook in a recent video. But she will be lucky to make 13-15. That is the typical max lifespan before organs start failing.
I'm no longer at that project but at another called Running Wild Conservation. Here is my channel. www.youtube.com/@CheetahWhisperer
"It always escalates into love bites . . . ." I knew a girl like that in college. She was not a cheetah.
Ego sum homo vespertilionem Question is, did you use her as a pillow?
our pillow fight will be legendary
Stolen comment
Cheetahs really do got a V8 in their chest. Thing purs like a literal idling hotrod.
They vibrate! From the neck down to chest. You can feel it when holding them. There are studies suggesting the vibration frequencies can help heal soft tissue.
Cheetah: Meh I’m too full and sleepy right now. I’ll save this white man for brunch tomorrow.
Hahaha
