Reply:"how can ppl say cats are heartless tbh"

Reply:"I once stayed at a game reserve in South Africa, and they had three cheetahs — two males and one female. The boys stuck together (they were brothers), but female cheetahs are solitary, save for when they are raising cubs. Which is hard work for cheetahs, because they don't/can't den, she’s working constantly to protect/move her cubs, as well as feeding both them and herself Now, these cheetahs ARE in a private reserve, but they're still essentially wild But they are more or less accustomed to the presence of people. And this cheetah, Ketswirl, got very badly injured in her leg one time, which usually would be fatal to a cheetah. The staff at the reserve helped her. Another time, she was starving, and they provided her a fresh antelope carcass. And she remembered this, because the science officer was telling us how one time he was watching Ketswirl and her cubs, and she wandered over and dumped all her cubs at his feet, and walked off. Like 'watch my kids, I need some me time.' And he was panicking like COME BACK I CAN'T BABYSIT YOUR KIDS WTF"
