There are no close relatives to the cheetah, as the cheetah is in its own genus to other cats, but share the same subfamily (Felinae) as cougars, servals, caracals, lynx and the domestic cat.The cheetah is said to be one of the most ancient cat in the world; the ancestor of the cheetah, the Nimravid, lived possibly 4 million years ago. The Nimravid had streaks under it's eyes (like cheetahs) but only had spots when they were cubs (like cougars.) It split off into these two creatures thousands of years ago.Nimravidae are not cats.
