Our eldest, the young lady in the middle with the green shirt, LOVES, LOVES, LOVES cheetahs!  In fact, it is her favorite animal, and always has been.  So you can imagine how excited she was to have the chance to get up close and personal with this beauty!  Her sister and my wife loved the opportunity to get some hands on time with this beautiful cat as well.  And guess what?  This kitty was purrrrrring the whole time; way cool!!
