Here's why:
* Purring: While cheetahs are more known for their hisses and growls, they do purr. This is a common trait among felines.
* No Roaring: Unlike lions and tigers, cheetahs lack the vocal chords needed for a deep, powerful roar.
* Retractible Claws: Cheetahs are the only cat species with semi-retractable claws. Their claws are not fully retractable like those of house cats, but they are partially hidden in sheaths when not in use. This helps to keep the claws sharp and prevents them from wearing down when running.
