I miss my bunny. He was so aloof if I would try to hold him, but he'd come over in time if I let him be and, if I was reading a book, he would lightly chew one of the corners of a page to get my attention. If I had a spirit animal, he would be mine. People find me unapproachable, but if we are in a common place like a workplace I will eventually socialize with them little by little until we sometimes end up having a real conversation. Just like my bunny would need his space at first and then would come and nudge at me and hop away and then come over and spend longer and longer with me. Animals definitely share traits with us.
