HI everyone, I'm SPOTS, not a very original name but one that may be disappearing soon. I live in Africa with my older brother SPRINTER, my sister HOT SPOTS, my younger brother BIG AL and our cousin, DA SPOTS FAN MAN. Our mother disappeared, I don't know what happened to her and Sprinter says he will only tell me when I am older. I think something not nice is happening as many of my friends just vanish and we never see them again.

But this is meant to be a happy page: meet some of my friends below, there are lots of nice photos and there are more coming up soon. We want to be your friend, we want you all to talk to each other; we all have the same AIMS and LOVE

See you soon, I'm off to catch a carrot!! Only kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Friends, I'm SPRINTER, Spots' big brother. Together, with all my friends we try to look after each other. Spots wouldn't tell you but us Cheetahs have a hard time. People catch us and shoot us, they blame us for catching "their" animals, me I'm a vegetarian! people shoot us and put our skin on a wall, that's sick, it sure looks better on our backs. Some even put our heads up on a wall to brag about how they killed a dangerous animal. Dangerous??? Some of us couldn't even fight off a feather duster. That is why we are so threatened, we may look dangerous but we are really just big pussycats. There are good people out there, Ann van Dyk and Laurie Marker I know personally, they are trying hard to help us. But we have to shout out loud about what is happening. Let everyone know......

Hi Guys, I'm HOT SPOTS!! I'm Spots' big sister, I can run rings around anyone and twist the guys around my little claw!

Hi, I'm BIG AL, one day I'll be as big and strong as DA MAN, but until then I have to stay cute and nice. BUT JUST WAIT!!!

HI, I'M DA SPOTS FAN MAN. NO ONE

MESSES WITH MY FRIENDS. ONE PURR

AND I'M THERE!!!!

This is LINDA, she started I'M A SPOTS FAN! She is determined to spread the word around the World about how much trouble we are in and how to try and save us. We all love Linda, she has over 5 million photographs of us all!!!

This is ALAN or Grumpy as he is sometimes known! But he does like us cheetahs and does talk to us. This is him with one of my Aunties, "Alan's Girl". They have a special bond.

We always like to look over our SPOTS FANS so we are always on the lookout for Danger. So far today we have only had one reckless, speeding tortoise, not too bad!!!!

I'm a SPOTS FAN and I love singing. Listen to Linda's song about us cheetahs, that's me in the background. I should have been the lead, but as Linda wrote the song I let her sing. I could have signed up with The Cheetah Girls, but I'm a boy!!!

I like it when I have friends around, then I'm not so lonely.

Like when I sit with my Mom and brothers. It's soooooo nice.

Then I'm soooooooooooooooooo

happy!!!!!!!

Can I be a Stripes Fan as well as a SPOTS FAN???

I'm getting sleepy with all this talk! I want to sleep and dream about catching elephants. AND letting them go of course!!

Yep, we all need a goodnight's

sleep. Happy dreams!

Okay Guys, that's it for now. We want you all to send in your comments, and maybe the name of someone who works with Cheetahs so we can give them the praise they deserve.......
