African Cheetah Shows Love - Big Cat Purrs & Grooms Volunteer Neck & Head Scalp At Rescue Center

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.
