Can go even farther back; cheetahs were just as domesticated as dogs in ancient egypt two millennia before the Romans conquered the Mediterranean. Makes sense

Can go even farther back; cheetahs were just as domesticated as dogs in ancient egypt two millennia before the Romans conquered the Mediterranean.
Makes sense too; accounts from people who work with them say they have almost none of the "wilderness" that makes something like a tiger impossible to domesticate and are essentially really big and fast house cats.

- microtherion 7y agoBig and fast they are, but not all that strong. At Wild Cat Fund <https://wildcatfund.org/cats2.html> https://wildcatfund.org/cats2.html> events, the leopards are considered a lot more dangerous. I got to pet one of their cheetahs once. It packs a rather impressive purr.
