Cats are adorable and everyone loves them – which is probably why there are several cat pictures and videos doing rounds on the internet. When talking about a cat, you would naturally imagine a small feline, the one that is kept as a pet. In Dubai however, things are a little different and any cat, big or small can be kept as a pet. Keeping a big cat such as a cheetah for a pet is certainly costly as there are lots of paper work involved, not to mention the costs of sustaining it. Money doesn’t seem to be much of a problem to this fellow however. He has an exotic pet and needed to show it off. He has it riding shotgun in his luxurious vehicle. While this kind of lifestyle may be plush for the cheetah, it is certainly not what it was used to strolling and hunting across the plains of Africa.
