One couple living in South Africa apparently believes that, although cats and dogs make great pets, it is only wildlife animals that can be called excellent companions.

Thus, this couple saw it fit to take a baby cheetah and raise it as if it were your run-off-the-mill kitten, the result being that this big cat now considers itself a member of the family and has no issues in making the most of the perks which come with this job.

Sources inform us that Jolie (named after movie star Angelina Jolie) feasts on various snacks it happens to find left unsupervised on the kitchen table, enjoys the occasional afternoon nap on the sofa and sometimes even accompanies its caretakers to bed.

As far as Magda and Japie Bienaar are concerned, Jolie is already part and parcel of their lives.
