ME AND "EDDIE"...A 19 MONTH OLD CHEETAH IN SOUTH AFRICA
A visit to a breeding center for Cheetahs in South Africa brought about this incredible moment with my new buddy "Eddie". I was able to stay in his enclosure for 20 minutes and he purred so loud when I touched his head here. I literally felt his energy radiate into my hand and up to my heart. I can’t describe it but this was a life altering experience!!!
To see these animals so up close and personal tugs at your soul giving even greater appreciation for their place on this planet. Eddie is being used in a breeding program to hopefully expand the genepool as much as it can be.

Wow.
This photo really stopped me in my tracks. We went to Kenya last year and every time I saw a Cheeta this is exactly what I wanted to do. They're a wonderful cat, so striking.
Please could you tell me where this is?
Thank you for sharing your photos. Your Africa set is brilliant!

This is unbelievable, you know no matter how tame they are if you aren't "in tune" with them and totally not afraid which both are obvious with your persona, well, he wouldn't let you pet him or her. How special, I am so happy for you!
If you gave him an ice cream bar, he would smile for your photo! MJMTOUCAN@PRODIGY.NET
