d. current populations of cheetahs are able to interbreed with other species, increasing genetic variation.

The Asiatic Cheetah in Iran with a population of less than 100. (King Cheetah is not a separate subspecies - but a coat colour variation that comes about from a recessive gene)
No genetic variation in the cheetah population gene pool, so natural selection has nothing to select from and the inbreeding depression keeps deleterious traits breeding true among cheetahs and natural selection can not eliminate them from the gene pool.
Cheetah census
If the human population was reduced to a very small number of interbreeding individual then this small population, denied outbreeding, would have very little genetic variation. Humans, who went through a bottleneck event about 70,000 years ago, are considered a " small " species because they have little genetic variation in comparison to many other species. Google cheetah to see how this concept works.
No much smaller actually.

Yes the cheetah can sweat.. In the hot weather of Africa it needs to sweat to keep its body temperature

Yes scientists are developing the first cyborg cheetah to protect the cheetah population.
In "Twilight," Edward Cullen is compared to a cheetah while running due to his incredible speed and agility. Additionally, his movements are described as fluid and graceful, similar to the running style of a cheetah.
