Just had a flashback to my first furry character in a novel by Alan Dean Foster called Spellsinger. Guy summons up a white tigress version of this cheetah here and he immediately starts flirting with her. A few chapters later, the author decided he needed to summon a human female to put a kabosh on this budding interspecies romance.

Kinda odd, actually, because in this fantasy world, humans were the decided minority.
