I like pets, but probably wouldn't get one if I was living on my own.

Pets are wonderful. Being allergic to them is not so wonderful. Even so, I still wouldn't get a pet that I'm not allergic to. I don't like the idea of revolving my time and energy around the needs of another.

Me! I love animals, ALL animals! Even not mammalian. I'm more at ease with animals than most humans. I like Aspies/Auties too :D
I don't ever have to 'guess' with animals; humans can be tricky/deceptive, even mean to the Lab Pet.
I live in Alaska and there is abundant wildlife - which I love. I have deep respect for animals.


My cat's name is Tesla.

I love pets because I know they will automaticaly empathize with my fear of being locked up or of being ignored. I ignored my pets before, actually, and I feel bad sort of about it.

Yes, I use to have a lot more pets than I do now. I have 2 cats named Bill and Bob, I really don't know how I came to chosing those names. If I could, I'd get another cat, a dog, and yeah a rabbit. I luv rabbits. I'd luv to live on land that would allow that. I know a couple who are just like this. They got so many pets and land, ppl go down there like it's a petting zoo. It's really awesome, it even smells like a zoo. :eew:
