Sleeping Together
Heather took it even farther than that. Their bond became so strong that the woman would sleep at night in their enclosure. This was her favorite thing to do in the whole world. Heather would take her blanket and pillow to a spot under the trees, lie down and wait for them to come over and cuddle in for the night under the stars.
When the sunrise came, the roar of the lions nearby would wake them up, and the cheetahs would greet the woman good morning with more kisses.
