Most all Cheetahs LOVE to groom. They normally purr when they do, and it's not only a show of affection but serves to maintain a friendly mood. A purring Cheetah is not going to become aggressive. Grooming also helps keep each other clean from bloody after kills, free them of debris, keep the fur in order and to clean a wound they can't reach. Grooming also shares their scent between each other which helps in bonding. By spreading their scent over you, in a way, you become part of them and owned; familiar. With their scented saliva spread over you... you become more familiar and part of a social family.

The speaker describes the experience of being groomed by a cheetah named Eden, highlighting the physical discomfort caused by the animal's rough tongue while expressing affection for the cheetah's temperament.
Not much either, just a little bit of stroking.
Hey Eden!
Nope, not a great one.
That's dead.
Oh, that hurts.
I'm not going to take much of this.
This is good, though.
It's a good boning, but it hurts.
I know what you're thinking.
What a wuss.
But let me show you in pictures why it hurts.
A cat's tongue is covered with hundreds of Barbra's spiked, keratinized blades, basically.
Keratin is the same thing as a cat's tongue.
In a cat's case, it's designed to peel back skin from a dead animal.
What's worse is they're all pointed backwards like shark teeth.
So when a cat licks you, it's basically digging into your skin.
It's worthy of cussing.
Ow.
That's worse than a cheetah attack.
Good girl, Eden.
Good girl.
Yeah, let's keep looking at different areas.
Oh, my gosh.
It's absolutely like sandpaper with knives attached to it.
So this is very good.
I want her boning with me because we're going to be staying together tonight.
Oh, that hurts.
I need you to stop and give me a hand.
You'd rather do my scalp.
I'll give you my chin.
Oh, you're going to groom me so sweet.
I'm going to groom my buddy, Faith.
That doesn't hurt her.
It looks like it does me.
Yeah, she's done.
Good.
Wow, that hurt.
Like I said, you're the nicest cheetah here, man.
I really like her.
