I think they were cousins in the original Thundercats series. Word is, there's a new Thundercats cartoon currently in the works. Japanese animation studio Studio 4°C has been producing the show, slated to run as 30 minute episodes that will commence sometime in 2011.
Per press releases, the original voice actor for Liono [Larry Kenney] will be returning to reprise his classic role in the 3-part premier episodes.
The first Cheetara concept was done Here.
Stay tuned for the completed images...
By the way, I came across a clip from a cartoon series called Sym-Bionic Titan, which apparently airs on Cartoon Network. it was created by animation director Genndy Tartakovsky, the guy behind Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack.
Sym-Bionic Titan is a cartoon featuring 3 aliens that crash land on earth, while attempting to escape their war-torn world. And per its core concepts, it focuses on high-school drama and giant robot battles. The first episode premiered on Sept. 17, 2010. It commonly airs between 8:00pm and 9:00pm, Eastern time.
In the following clip, one of the 3 heroes, the geek named Octus [who is actually a bio-cybernetic robot], is being seduced by a cheerleader chick named Kimmy. My guess is, she was trying to persuade him to do her homework for her... at least I hope that was her intention.
Behold what innocent kids are viewing these days:

All I said after seeing this was...... LMAO!
