What can we say about cheetahs?  Fastest land animals and oh-so-unique amongst cats.

Cheetahs are the only cats whose claws don’t fully retract.  For this reason, their paw print looks more like a dog’s than a cat’s, and they were once actually believed to be part of the dog family.

Which is surprising, because they are one of the very few large cats who can do what every domestic pussy-cat can do: purr!
