In my experience, especially cats are very cautious towards very "outgoing" people. They don't like sudden movements from strangers, and they require that things happen on their terms. You can't just hold a cat unless it takes the initiative and shows that it's okay. I believe aspies are better than NTs when it comes to this, perhaps because aspies can better understand the cat's need for a little space and distance.

Yes, which is why from when I moved in, my roommate's cat thought I was hers, and I agreed. She and I sync.

I remember I went to my friend's house in high school, and she knew I interned at the zoo, and warned me against her neighbor's dogs, who apparently bite everyone. But I sat by the fence, and they came and licked my face.

Wild animals approach me too. It makes me sad when I have no food to offer.

I think it's because I'm quiet . . . but somehow untamed. Congruous with nature.
