[Gif is a photo of a cat, posed so that it looks like its standing. The photo is reversed back and forth, which makes the cat look like its hopping from foot to foot. It ends with a close up of the cat’s top half, and its eye is photoshopped to wink. The gif’s text reads,
This is true! The zoo where I volunteer (the illustrious Columbus Zoo & Aquarium) was one of the pioneers of this program.
Our zoo is known for raising cheetah cubs. Cheetahs have a terrible infant mortality rate and cubs are often rejected, so we get a lot of cubs to raise from all over the country (other zoos and sanctuaries, mostly).
The cubs are placed with a puppy friend when they are wee and small, so they grow up together like littermates. They play together, wrestle, and the dogs (yellow Labs) are so calm, friendly and well-socialized that the cheetahs take behavioral cues from them. When they meet new people, or go into new situations (which they often do, as ambassador animals for cheetah conservation), they check out if their dog friend is feeling chill – which he is – and then they know it’s okay for them to be chill, too.
Basically the dog is a service animal for them.
The cats need their dog friends less and less as they get older and more comfortable, but they still often hang out as grownups.
Our zoo does cheetah runs, where the cheetahs get to chase a lure and show off their speed. Often they’ll have one of the cheetahs run (we have like twelve cheetah), and then they’ll have one of the dogs do the run to show how much faster the cats are. People get a kick out of that. The dogs…let’s just say they try their best.
Omg I’m crying, this is so beautiful. 😭
[First set of images are a comic, showing a cheetah and a dog sitting side by side. Dog’s tail is waving wildly. Text:
Cheetahs are very nervous animals and some zoos give them “support dogs” to keep them relaxed.
Dog leans back head: You’re so amazing!
Beat panel with dog still in ridiculous pose. Then cheetah turns to touch dog’s nose with their own. Dog closes eyes and flops their tongue out in joy.
Cheetah: Thanks.
Next image is a photo of a cheetah cub and a puppy cuddling, looking happy.
Final image is a grown cheetah and dog, sitting on a box in a similar position to the comic.
I dislike you all. My husband WOOED ME with this song and it still haunts me to this day. How dare it be so catchy. How dare people constantly say “cat” in just this voice and send me into flashbacks.

I’m tagging EVERYTHING right now, because I can’t handle it. But all the blocked safe mode posts are adorable kitties and lizards! Maybe ‘safe mode’ means posts that are safe?
