4. No, very common. Watch any domestic cat with a mouse, they

love to play with them, injure them, then ultimately kill and eat them.
It is a game to them.
In the case of these cheetahs, they may simply have decided to wait until this little guy got a little larger. Then eat him. And, after being all friendly and all, he would later walk up to them without hesitation, and then be eaten, maybe in 6 months or a year when he was much meatier.
Lulling him into complacency, you might say.
Hey, a cats gotta eat, you know.
