Wow, can't beleive there is even a debate about this.
1. Fastest land mammal?
Cheetah of course with Cats making up 2 of the top 4 spots and even the domestic cat zooms in ahead of humans (monkeys don't seem to have been included but I'm guessing they are around human speed.) You have a need, a need for speed? Call a cat..

2. King of the Jungle. Well-renowned for holding this title, the lion commands obedience from all those around him. As King of the Jungle, defiance of the lion is in fact treason punishable by mauling. Matt, I would watch out!
Regal, elegant and dominant. Lions pwn all.
3. So cats are virtually perfect physical specimens. But we knew that already. What makes cats even better is they can be cuddly, cute, entertaining as well!
Scared of dogs? Dont be stupid.

As for monkeys, surely this is the final nail in the coffin.
