Tommy T’s comfort on the end of a leash expands every day.  At nearly eight-months old he is becoming quite the Ambassador Cheetah.  And sweet Pow Wow makes all of that possible as she gives him the security of knowing that everything will be just fine as long as she’s around.

Tommy T receives his reward for a run well done from Tom, Head Keeper of the Cheetah Breeding Facility.  

That’s “his” Boy!

Pow Wow investigates!

The look on her face says it all…Tommy won’t share!

Ten frames of fun as two pals join in the chase.  

The race is won in the first two strides!

A furry toy on the end of a fast-moving line and a cheetah can get in a tangle!

How many trainers does it take to untangle a cheetah knot?

Tommy T did so well in his first run he gets to play with the lure for a bit. The next step for his trainers will be to use a clicker and some food.  He will begin to understand the connection of the sound and the reward that is associated with it.  Then, when the time comes that he thinks of the lure as his prey, and may feel ambivalent (that’s an understatement) about giving it up, he will know that if he does he gets a treat!

For now, it’s roly poly fun.
