The cheetah is the fastest living animal on land and can reach speeds of around 100 kmph or more. This makes it virtually impossible for any other land animal to chase and kill. However, young ones aren't as fast as adults and are easy prey to other predators like lions or hyenas.

Lions or hyenas usually don't eat the cheetah cubs. They just kill them to cut down on competition. So, the cheetah has no natural predator that would kill and eat them.

Does a cheetah eat a goat?

Given an opportunity yes. But, the cheetah is too small to even bring down a giraffe calf. However, if they spot an injured calf or an already dead carcass, they will happily eat them not one cheetah but if they were going to starve with nothing else to eat but a giraffe maybe but there would need to be about 12 cheetahs to take the giraffe maybe 15 cheetahs - and cheetahs don't hunt in packs - so no.
