Yes. But the cheetah is not only the fastest cat. It is also the fastest land mammal.

Why is the cheetah becoming extinct?
Well it's not completely known why the American Cheetah went extinct. They likely died off with a large number of other North American animals (American Lions, Horses, Mammoths etc.) at the end of the last ice age, or in the Younger Drias event that followed shortly thereafter.
Some ideas as to the cause of the mass extinction are the abrupt climate change, human pressure, or a possible meteoric/comet impact or pandemic.
Improvement:
The American Cheetah is actually not a Cheetah at all and has no relation to the Cheetah we know now. It was closely related to the Mountain Lion.
How long can a cheetah run at its fastest speed?
The cheetah will run no more than 500 m (1,640 ft) at the tremendous speeds of 80 to 112 km/h (50 to 70 mph); very rarely do they run at these speeds as most chases are within 100 meters (330 ft).
No. they usually live in hot climate and don't need a fur coat. Animals that live in cold countries and climates only have fur coats. The cheetah doesn't live in such places and doesn't need one. However, they have a spotted skin.

How tall is a full grown cheetah?
The adult cheetah weighs from 35 to 72 kg. Its total head and body length is from 110 to 150 cm. The tail alone can measure 60 to 84 cm in length. Cheetahs are 66 to 94 cm tall at the shoulder. Males tend to be slightly larger than females and have slightly bigger heads, but there is not a great variation in cheetah sizes and it is difficult to tell males and females apart by appearance alone.
How do cheetahs raise there babies?
The female Cheetah normally picks a secluded quiet place to make her den. The cubs will be completely helpless when first born, and need a site that isn't easily searched out. She will dig out a shallow den in sandy soil using large rocks for shelter, or find a depression in the tall grasses and make her den in there. When pushed she will even just pick a place in thick undergrowth to make her den, if that is all she can find, and her time is near. For more details, please see the site listed below.
Cheetahs actually don't build dens but they will travel around to find food when the cubs are old enough. Cheetahs will most likely give birth in a safe sheltered place. Maybe like an enclosed area like a rock cave or make a den out of the savanna grasses.
Their colouring, like lions' colouring, matches the savanna, especially during the dry season when many savanna plants begin to yellow due to the heat. The cheetah's spots help to break up their outline.

Are black panthers faster than a cheetah?
No. ?The fastest land animal is the Cheetah which is capable of approximately 70 miles per hour. ?
The relatively slow .45 calibre round has a muzzle velocity of approximately 850 feet per second. ?
850 feet per second x 60 seconds = 5100 feet per minute
5100 fpm * 60 minutes = 3, 060,000 feet per hour.
3060000 / 5280 (feet in a mile) = approximately 570 miles per hour. ?This is more than enough speed to overtake a Cheetah, much less a panther.
