Every time I go up to an animal, any animal, they’re just like… nope… and they don’t want anything to do with me. When they get to know me they start to relax more but except grey baby they always seem to want to hang out with someone else.
My friend L’s theory is they can sense my mental instability and that puts them on alert.
So do animals avoid you, are they indifferent, or do they love you at first sight?
I tend to hit it off with animals pretty well. Mostly cats, but I have befriended a raccoon, several bunnies, a few birds, a bat, a herd of deer. I had delusions about being able to communicate with animals based on those experiences.
They don’t bark or hiss at me, they either only let me pet them for a couple of seconds (like how you hug that one person you don’t know at a party because you’ve hugged everyone else so now you feel like it would be impolite to not hug them), or they just look at me.
Animals like me more than what’s normal, I think it’s because I’m quite calm most of the time and don’t make sudden movements. Cats are especially fond of me for some reason.
As soon as I sit down I seem to have every animal around wanting to be petted.
I have to push them off to get anything done.
Animals want to feel secure, their needs met, disciplined even (knowing they can’t do anything they want when they want), and most importantly, they want you to give them attention when they need it too, not just when you feel like it.
Not to different from small children really…
Im apparently “prey” potential. When I was in a zoo on holiday recently, a lion stared directly into my eyes, and then tried to get through the glass wall. Then on another holiday a scarecrow was attacking my head. Flying repeatedly just above my head. I always saw myself as a victim. I count this as proof, since even animals single me out
