I wonder what each individual meerkat's response would be if they were removed from their peer group? The response may be more like humans separated from the gang. That would be an interesting experiment.

Meercat: Let me have emm, boy the only thing HOLDING me is this cage, arghh take this and that. Cheetah: can you go a little lower, ooh that's the spot.

I didn't know big cats can purr too! Stupid me :)

poor meerkats! they were probably afraid and angry

You can just feel the meerkats' impotent rage at not being able to reach the cheetah.

What a gorgeous cat!! Loved the sound of his purring. <3

"Sometimes food, toys and meerkats make him purr" Well, maybe he was purring because he could not decide if the meerkats are food or toys? This was really funny, I loved the way the cheetah totally does not cared the meerkat fierce attempts to kill him :D

What a kitty!!

I guess that meerkat was just too weak!

Ignorance is bliss, they said :) He is very adorable :)

Eh, I bet he's like the dogs and cats that like to run up and rub all over my allergic sister. He knows exactly how to mess with their minds. Shoot, I used to do the same things to bullies in school. I would pretend I thought their abuse was affection and just annoy them all day. Worked like a charm.

Interesting.

It cruel to stress out the meerkats like that just because it's entertaining for the cheetah (and the humans).
