why must you run so fast spotty dotty cat why don't you slow down must you run like that i've got to run i'm running to survive running, running that's how i stay alive there's prey to catch my babies are hungry running, running there is no rest for me my babies are not food predators do not care running, running it's no wonder we're rare i'm very endangered i run to stay ahead running, running keeps me from being dead that's why they run so fast the lovely cheetah cat cheetahs can't slow down or they'll be gone...just. like. THAT. (c) karla dorman, 2003 ---------------------------------------------------------------- HELP SAVE THE ENDANGERED CHEETAH. Fewer than 10,000 cheetahs remain in the world; in the last 50 years, this beautiful creature (which has been clocked at speeds of over 60 miles an hour for short distances) has become EXTINCT in at least 13 countries.
