The Living Purring Cheetah Blanket Special Needs Big Cat Relaxes Beyond Nirvana From Neck Massage

Faith can still can be a bit of a hazard because she has a tendency to love bite and pacify herself on you. It is not aggressive but affection. She grabs clothing or your skin and can bite hard because she cannot control herself. I've never been bitten this way because I know her behavior so well and see it coming a mile away. But I've seen the scars on other people who were not as aware or knowledgeable. Point is, wild animals are still a hazard but I am willing to take the risk because I enjoy the encounters and enrichment as well.

What is cool to me is Faith comes to ME to spend the night rather than the other way around. This brick house you see is open on one side with a door to her large enclosure. Faith sleeps outside much of the time and when she hears me setting up the bedding, she comes purring inside and flops on me to snuggle for the night. It is an incredible and warm feeling (literally). This was recorded during winter with (-)freezing temps and Faith shares her warmth with me. Cheetahs have an average temp ranging from 100-103deg Fahrenheit or 39.4 Celsius! We humans are only 98.6F. Faith becomes my purring living hot water bottle cheetah blanket for the night. Just incredible.

We both enrich each others lives when I am there volunteering or interning at Cheetah Experience in South Africa. Faith is the current ambassador cheetah that guests and visitors can have escorted visits inside her enclosure. The public is not allowed to touch her, just observe from a respectful distance.
