Meowing Cheetah

I think I like the cheetahs at the zoo the best.

There are three pretty nice habitats for them, one who has a great view of the zebras which is probably a little mean for both the cheetah and zebra, but it makes for some great viewing.

As we circled the enclosure, Nicole looked closely at the last cheetah in the exhibit and commented that it looked like she was meowing. It is true, the cats act an awful lot like our household cats from stretching, yawning, eating, to playing. But I figured the line was drawn at the noises they made and sorta dismissed Nicole's comment as a need for more coffee.

But then, sure enough, the cheetah looked right at me and gave a sad little mew the way our Ozzycat does whenever he wants to play but all his toys have been knocked under the refrigerator.

Then she just sat in the corner, looking a bit sad.
