What are your favourite animals?

Post by SapphireRoad »

I guess it was not yet posted here so blatantly, was it?

My favs are

Rabbits of all kind (from Bunny to Hare)
Deers
Dolphins

and of course many more but these are my lifelong undisputed top 3

only one that could get near would be the Scottish Wildcat which is an endangered specie

I hope this highlander will survive through the modern era to see the light of the golden dawn.
What a furrrry-fluffed piece of wonder!

I must like cats. I'm collecting the whole set. I'm also fond of dogs - big ones, scraggy ones, small, shaggy ones too. I enjoy the antics of the backyard birds & squirrels. Horses - we used to have 3 horses. I've been seen petting cows & once waved my jacket to turn a long horn steer that was running down the street right at me when I got off the bus - whimper, "go bull." He stopped. I talk to bees. I just moved the statue in which they've nested away from my deck but I explained it to the residents first...then threw a bag over the statue & hustled.

@SL - It’s amazing how much my 20-pound tabby cat Mr Piss Whiskers (he has an attitude) resembles the wild cat,

Wolves, bears, and whales... although I have never met any. The appeal of them is my un-thinkingness. A part of me that needs itself.

What kind of arcane power gets unleashed once the set is completed?

Whales are probably the best singers ever tape-recorded.

I like mostly just the bigger wolf-like dogs such as husky. I saw one in the winter time deliberately walking rather on snow than on the cleared path. Gave me a prankster's look as if it was a secret just between the two of us. I hope they don't suffer too much in these heat waves.

My favorites are wolves (especially arctic wolves), red foxes, rabbits, cats, anteaters and painted dogs.

I've actually been collecting wolf and fox stuff for several years, such as blankets, paintings, figurines, cups and puzzles, though my wolf collection began when I was a kid. My fox collection started eight years ago with my first little plush fox I stitched together because the stores didn't have a fox plushie.

Obviously cats! I've always had a fascination with the Lynx, and Bobcat. I've always lived with them, and had strong bonds with my pets.

Aside from that, crows and ravens as well. Amazing creatures, and I love artwork involving them.

And who doesn't think wolves are cool?

Cats! I had a whole set at one time too :)
I also like all in the family corvid, dragonflies, squirrels, hummingbirds, frogs or toads and horses.
Unfortunately I never been much of a dog person, had a bad experience as a child and colored my view of them for life I guess. Later in life a boyfriend and I did have a black lab once, his name was Chomper, he met a gruesome and untimely end and that was the end of me with dogs.

So what is the synergy of a cat set? I've seen two cats playing recently and the mood got some silent fluidity onto it.
I also admired fluidity of a serpent transiting from grass to grass through a pathway.
Yeah dragonflies are my favs too. Black dog is way different with its vibe compared to other dogs.

There's something about foxes too, never seen them in life yet in recent years even twice.

Unfortunately the cool ones mentioned like wolves, and the lynx were hunted to extinction in Ireland, however there was a sanctuary last year that introduced a few of them back.

We have a lot of foxes though, quite common to see even in urban areas. They've a cool name in Irish as well, sionnach

Sionnach's cool.
I think we have lynxes around but it might be quite a task to spot them.

Oooo the red fox!! That’s always been one of my favorites! I love when I see one making their rounds at dusk!

A clan of cats has definite dynamics. She-Who-Rules is smaller than others, gets first choice of napping sites even if a spot is already occupied (thwack!), eats first & then samples from the other’s dishes without objections, etc. geez, I wouldn’t put my hand in a dish at feeding time ... gnom, gnom, gnom. When the Top Cat passes away there’s a reshuffling of posts.
