Baby Cheetah Cub Purring - Cat Purrs & Plays With Keeper At A Breeding Center In South Africa

Good boy. He always sticker birds off you. Oh my. I don't want to take him off and hurt you though. So, there you see him. Very sweet. Very cute. Oh, he is purring. Here we go. There you hear it. That's a contented cat when you hear that. A cat of contention. Right? Oh, you're so sweet. The staff here, you know, I've only been here two days and, you know, they're getting real attached to these animals and it's like, you know, it's hard to let them go. You know what's going to happen to them, you know. You want to take care of them. You're so sweet. Yeah, go play with me. Play with my glasses. That's what bringing glasses in here. This is something to play on, chew on, tear up. And that, you want them to see your eyes. Stop purring now. Be part of a breeding program eventually. And this is very important, you know, for this kind of, I'm going to bite my survival cord. Good boy. I just want him biting me. Because even at this age, they can be, you know, very tough, sharp, strong teeth. Well, yeah, they can be part of the breeding program. And part of the idea is that you have, you have a, oh, no, no, no. Don't bite that. Don't bite that. Have them calm. Good boy, Ryza. Good boy. So that you can look for problems and things like the stinger burrs on his back. Be able to pull it off. So you got them used to human contact. He likes my cord. Oh, boy. If there's any kind of problem, any kind of joint issues, you know, problems with their paws, claws, ears, mouth, everything, you know, you check them out. That's why it's important to have them associated with you. Be able to touch them hands on. If they're completely wild, then when they got to defend for themselves, you can't do any kind of husbandry or check on them. So it's good training. Good boy. Good boy, Horizon. Good boy. Good boy. So he's going to do okay. All right. He's going to purr. I'm practicing my cheetah purr. My cheetah purr. Good boy. Good boy. So we have a lot of air time here with Horizon. Good idea. Associated with humans. Humans are a good thing. Provide food, shelter, warmth, play, contact, and a little bit of biting. He doesn't get too rough with that stuff. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no. Don't bite hard now. Oh, boy. Now I have shirts. I'm going to have holes in my stuff here. Oh, no. He's got a hole in my shirt. No, no, no. No, no. No. Let go. Oh, boy, I have some tough claws. No. Let go. Good boy. Good boy. Good boy. So when we're with cheetahs, you are going to get scratched just the way it is. And that's every one of these staff members has got claw marks all over them. The young ones have brothers so that they can teach each other what not to do, how hard to bite, how hard to scratch. So it's good being brothers. Good boy. So it comes with bumps and bruises when you work in this kind of line of work.
