cheetahs and cougar are not thought of as part of the larger cats(lions,tigers,jaguars,and leopards) but both can purr and yes the cheetah can get to be bigger than cougar but on the average scale the cougar is a bigger cat overall

[look up "Do big Cas Purr] and watch the one made by BigCatRescue they go into pretty good detail on it

How cute--purrs like a cat, acts like a dog. xD "Rub mah belly now! Rub mah belly."

That last part didn't feel right. Cougars are pretty common round these parts, and maybe I had a faulty impression of cheetahs, but I was pretty sure they were smaller. So I checked Wikipedia:

Cougar: "Males typically weigh 53 to 100 kg (115 to 220 lb), averaging 62 kg (137 lb)."

Cheetah: "The adult cheetah weighs from 21 to 72 kg (46 to 160 lb)."

... that IS purring. Roaring quietly IS purring.

Negative, Cheetah's do Purr. ALL Felids Purr. I Volunteered at a large Cat rescue for awhile when I was in the USAF, the EFBC's Feline Conservation Center, also known as the Cat House. The 2 Cheetahs that were housed there were very friendly and they did purr quite often when petted or while cleaning themselves after eating. Their JAW has nothing to do with their ability to Purr. It's all done with there vocal cords. Please do some research before making such statements.

It's awake. It's eyes are open. Cheetahs do purr. Look it up. They're interesting to read about.
