Oh boy, I'm gonna miss you, oh I'm gonna miss you.
Yeah, I'm gonna miss you buddy.
You and I are good friends.
He didn't bite my nose.
He's purring away.
I'm gonna miss you buddy.
Yeah, I'm gonna miss you.
This is how he shows affection.
Licks, grabs, bites, and claws.
Here we go buddy, give me a thumb.
Suck my thumb.
Suck on my thumb.
Good boy.
Ow, that hurts.
I'm gonna chew on my finger instead.
I'm gonna suck on my thumb now.
Oh crap.
That's much tastier.
Much more tasty isn't it, my thumb.
Good boy.
Good boy, good boy.
Good boy.
Scratch my eye.
That's 10 grades of sandpaper.
Oh, your affection hurts buddy.
Oh my gosh, we should have a dog tongue instead of a cat tongue.
Get that ring, get that ring.
He's going for it again.
Now swat at it.
Oh, don't run that, oh crap.
You're a good boy, you're a good boy.
You're a good boy.
Come and say hello.
Hey, come say goodbye to me buddy.
Good boy, come and say goodbye.
Come and say goodbye.
Good boy, I'm gonna miss you buddy.
I'm gonna miss you.
I'm gonna miss you buddy.
Good boy Gabe.
Good boy.
Oh, that hurts.
Oh, his tongue is absolutely raspy.
Good boy Gabe, I'm gonna miss you buddy.
I'm gonna miss you.
Turn away.
Wow, that hurts.
Oh my gosh.
Oh, tough love.
Oh man.
Good boy Gabe, you're a good boy.
That hurts like hell.
Oh, I gotta have hair to do this.
Good boy Gabe, you're a good boy.
You're a good boy.
That hurts like hell.
Hey, give me a break buddy, that hurts.
This is my last hour with Gabe here.
It's been a fantastic adventure with him.
And all the animals here.
Cheat experience.
And I fed Gabe.
I played with Gabe.
I cared for him.
I let him, I trusted him.
And now he trusts me.
That's nice.
This is the result.
He's been raised really well.
Oh, that hurts.
Oh wow, that hurts.
You gotta have hair to do this.
Oh my gosh, that hurts.
Ow.
But it's his way of showing affection.
So I let him do it.
I can't do this every day.
Good boy Gabe, good boy.
Good boy.
Oh, he sees the camera.
Oh, he's stepping on my face.
It's okay buddy, it's just a camera buddy.
Say hello to the camera.
What does he see?
What's he pointing at?
That's his aggressive stance there.
Look at that.
I don't know what he sees.
What do you see bud?
Another cheetah.
You know him.
That's actually, that's weird.
Dude, you can't see the film behind the camera.
That is another yearling cheetah.
He didn't recognize him.
And you saw the aggressive side.
You saw the sensitive, affectionate side.
And now the aggressive side.
My scalp hurts.
You okay Gabe?
That's incredible.
I bet you saw that.
That's his tougher side.
Right buddy?
Oh, that hurts.
That's really tough love he gives you.
Really tough love.
Ow.
He's purring away now.
He just didn't recognize his friend there,
the other yearling.
They're always together, he just didn't recognize him.
Or her.
You're a good boy.
I sure miss you buddy.
I'm gonna miss you.
Hope someone else will let you dominate them too.
Begin their prey.
There's one girl that does it here too.
You're a good boy Gabe.
I sure like you buddy.
I sure like you.
I'm gonna miss you.
My buddy Gabe.
So here I am.
In a big cheetah.
You can see Gabriel.
So here we are.
It's time to go to night.
Night night Gabriel.
Night night.
