Cat

Wild cats and domestic cats are all born the same way but their way of life is a bit different. Wild cats eat what they catch. But domestic cats get food from humans. We domestics don't have to hunt anymore. This wild cat lives all alone. She must find some hideout against bad weather and predators without any help. Domestic cats like the presence of human and a comfortable home. What is better?

Cheetah

We are the fastest runners in the world. We hunt our dinner and when we do we can run only for a short distance, we must catch something fast, otherwise we have to stop. If we don't stop we can overheat, and that's a very dangerous condition for us. We also have an extra claw called an dew claw. When we're chasing down a prey, we hook this claw around their legs to topple them over. We can do this running at our top speed. Cheetahs are recognisable by our black spots and they sure do suit us.
