How long until we domesticate cheetahs? I mean, they're kinda like super-fast dog-cats.

Cheetahs have been tamed and used as hunting animals intermittently for thousands of years, but it seems that breeding them in captivity is difficult (in premodern times, almost impossible), so there are no true domestic lineages.
