Males appear briefly for mating but play no role
in rearing the young. After 18 months, Amani [the mother in the National Geographic story Mama Cat, Jan 2005] moves to a new part of her 300-square-mile range, leaving behind [her curbs] some very confused and distressed offspring. But it's for their own good, and hers: as long as she is mothering them, they will not mate, and her legacy will suffer.
So, Amani will return to life on the savannah,
searching for another mate and tall grass where new cheetahs can learn to run.. "

We should all be so lucky as to be able to leave the mate and offsprings behind and move on!!!! Very inspiring...
