*ring ring ring* goes the cellphone. I answer. "Hello?"
"Hi Dad." It's Storm. She sounds bored. "I'm bored. I just wanted to call you."
"Hi Precious. What have you been doing today?"
"Nothin," ...long pause... "Is it okay if I have a live cheetah in the house?"
"As long as it doesn't pee on the carpet."
"Ok. Love you."
"Love you too."

Oh my god.

A dead one, however, is verboten.
Those are outdoor pets.

Yeah but just wait until she wants her first car!

Wait isn't that peeing on the carpet on "the list"?

Oh wait that is just the dog and doesn't apply to cheetahs

I really think you ought to think about it before you let her have a live cheetah- I think there is a place in LA where you MIGHT be able to get one..... (Burt Ward from BATMAN got a lion -but that was in the 60s.)
Yeah I'm joking. I told my kids that any more pets were out of the question- unless we were playing rescuer(The ASPCA ads are getting to them in a MAJOR way- but I remind them of the number of animals we've adopted and cared for.)
Oy live cheetahs- more carnivores
