Do animals like you

Post Reply New Topic

I think animals like me. In 4th grade bees liked me. Or hated me. One of them flew by my side of the car every day when I came home. And a huge one landed on my shirt.

generally, yes, animals like me. Which is good, as the obsession phase I have been in most of my life and am just growing out of is animals. Although I'm not sure if animals' liking me is because they like me, or because I have learned how to act around them to make them like me. Animals are the greatest friends, they're really the only beings I can always trust

Cats likes me, but I dont think dogs do

Yes they do and that is good because I find their relationship structure easier to deal with. BTW I work as a behavior specialist with troubled dogs

I think animals feel more at ease around me simply because I feel at ease around them.

I have never gotten bitten by an animal and rarely stung by an insect such as bees. The times I have been stung have been my fault and accidental. Usually I didn't know the bee was there and they didn't know I was coming.

I like cats, but they don't like me.


hmmmm. . . . .

noticed GH is loved by animals (particulary my dog)

Yeah they seem to, I've had a multitude of pets over my life and rarely ever gotten biten, scratched or really had one not like me.

I can get unusually close to some wild animals.

Cats love me, and yet I completely despise having to live with them.

My cat worships me, and I tend to be good with felines in general. I also do pretty good cat imitations. I think this is because of the fact that I constantly imitate Prozac (my cat): He says something, I repeat it. He doesn't get that I'm mocking him. I had this awful thought the other day, though: What if he was actually trying to teach me his language and I'm just not picking up on it after three years with him? It's a really depressing thought (or maybe just funny), though I don't actually believe it.

I think that animals like me.All of our dogs and cats (except for one)LOVED me.And I love them back.

SpaceCase

Most animals like me, and I like them better than most people.

Animals seem to love me, which is ironic and kind of tragic, since I'm so horribly allergic to them. It breaks my heart! I can be walking anywhere, and if someone's walking by with a dog, the dog immediately lunges over, tail wagging, to try to greet me. When I've hung out at friends' places with their cats, the cats (one of whom ignores most people) inevitably sidle over for a head butt/tummy tickle and/or plop themselves down in my lap, whether I'm sitting on the floor or on the couch. I swear they know I'm allergic, and do it on purpose!

Not really.

I love them though. They probably don't like getting touched and cuddled by me so much.

I've always had a theory as to why animals seem to like us so much. Its unsubstantiated, and I can't prove anything, but here it goes:

Pheromones. I think we put out pheromones that attract them to us, or somehow let them know we are nice.

I was always able to hold bees in an open fist without getting stung. I could also pet them while they'd suck on flowers.

Butterflies like me. So do squirrels. Iguanas really like me. Hermit crabs like me because I can imitate them. I can get Anoles to bob at me by bobbing first. Same with Iguanas. Fish like me. It seems like just the 'strange' animals like me. The rest don't really care.

A worm once attempted to mate with my finger. I was sitting on the ground outside one night and I felt something cold and wet on my finger. I had seen nightcrawlers mate before, and thats exactly what I found a worm doing with my finger.

I once had a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach that would bob his antennae in perfect time to music.

I had a male tarantula court me. The males will drum their pedipalps on a surface to let the female know they are interested in mating. He drummed his palps on my hand.

A white dove that I had since I was 4 thought I was his mate. This included typical dove courtship and mating with my hand or foot. I don't think its really uncommon for a bird to bond with a human that strongly, though.

That's just weird and disturbing.
