Anyone ever heard of a black squirrel before?  I've lived in Connecticut off and on for my entire life, and seen hundreds if not thousands of squirrels.   I saw a black one now twice in two weeks (very well could be the same one) and it was freaky.

Cats are my 100% percent favourite, also owls are fantastic. I also kinda like mice/rats, they're somewhat cute actually. Squirrels are also very cute. I think that's it.

Wait, pandas also. They're hilariously adorable.

Speaking of squirrels, I had an unexpected experience with one about 2 years ago. 

I was sitting down for lunch on a park bench in downtown Manhattan (Hanover Square) when a squirrel scrambled up to me and rested both of his paws on my left arm as he regarded my ham and cheese sandwich. I let him perch on my arm for a while, but I never expected that squirrels would ever do something like that. Everyone in the square was watching in amusement. After a minute or so, I tore off a chunk of bread and he made off with it.

That sounds like a park squirrel that's very used to humans.  On Penn State's campus there are large amounts of squirrels that are super cool with humans to the point it might actually be uncomfortable if you've got some food on you they want.  I've hand fed many of squirrels before on the campus, but I've heard of horror stories of them climbing up your body and chasing you  :lol

When I was young, we lived near the forest (somewhat alike a national park in the US I guess). We often went walking in there and we always brought either nuts or sunflower seeds. I was like 8 years old and I sat on the ground with the seeds in my hand, and there was this one squirrel that always came to me and did almost the same, just rested both of her/his paws on my palm between eating the seeds like, you don't go anywhere before I'm finished with this. I had to be very still so I won't spook her/him. One of my very vivid childhood memories.

That's really cool, Evermind. :)

I see black squires all the time. 

For me, cats are my favorite pets by far.  Otherwise, birds (pretty much all kinds) are my favorite.  I like lots of animals, some mentioned in this thread like dolphins and pandas, turtles (maybe not mentioned), but I don't encounter most of them often or at all in the case of pandas.  But I see birds all the time and always enjoy seeing them.

I like lions  :)

And I like dogs, particularly mastiffs.  And I agree with the comments on chicken  :tup.

However, I don't like cats at all.  I'm allergic to them and so is my whole family.  And there was an apartment complex I used to live in where a cat lady lived and she fed all the stray cats.  And one of those cats would always attack my kids when they were trying to play outside.

To build on my yesterday post, I like owls so much I even have a ring in shape of an owl. Posted in on reddit recently and thought I'd share it here too.




However, I don't like cats at all.  I'm allergic to them and so is my whole family.

One thing I'm very glad of is that I'm not allergic to cats. This would've been sad for me.

My friend had a rabbit that was so fat/large it couldn't hop. It stayed in the bathroom most of the year cause the tile was cool. Always felt bad for the little guy

I had a rabbit once which I named " Colonel Carrot ".

It didn't live long :( we never got a chance to get it to a vet as it got sick really fast and couldnt stop pooping then it was dead the next day. :(

My favourite pets are rodents ( rats, gerbils ) or cats.

Kotowboy gonna Kotowboy I guess but I f-ing hate dogs.

I don't hate dogs as animals. Just the ones that lash out at you when you're near them - or literally any other f*cking dog.

They shit all over the pavement and dont wash themselves and can't take themselves for a walk.

Also I really despise how people worship them like they're God's gift to humans. They always cite bomb dogs and sniffer dogs and guide dogs.

but it's like.... We TRAINED them to do those things they weren't born with those skills.

Every time I hear a dog barking for ages at NOTHING or see a pile of dog shit on the pavement or see two dogs just lashing out at each other

for no reason other than they're both dogs - I always sarcastically say out loud " We don't Deseeerrrrvvveee dogsssss "  ::)


TL;DR I love cats.

Thank you - I always say hello to dogs when i'm out and about - and last year I saw one which was the spitting image of my childhood doggie and it gave me a cuddle...  :laugh: :laugh:

I love Welsh Border Collies and Chihuahuas. I know they have a rep for being yappy little shits but all the Chihuahuas i've ever met have been silent and very timid and cuddly.

It's just everything else about them I don't like. I could never have a pet dog.

One of my phobias is someone moves in near me with a big barking dog because I would have to move out. I'm not joking.

one day my neighbour had friends over who bought a big dog and it barked the entire time.

It was so loud and constant I had a panic attack and had to leave the house for several hours hoping that when I returned they'd left - which they had.

Oh dude I am right there with you. My neighbors moved in right next door to my unit about a year ago now, and they have two or three very large dogs. I can hear them bark their fucking heads off whenever the littlest thing happens, and rapid thumping like they're all racing down the stairs at the same time. I wish they'd go away, but it gives me an excuse to play my music louder without feeling bad  :lol So sorry that those dogs managed to even give you a panic attack. Every time I visit my friend's house, his three dogs are always barking and all over me and it drives me nuts too.

Mostly I really disagree with how people worship dogs like they're angels and "cats are evil shits".

SO many dogs lash out at me when i'm out walking and I have several feline friends in my little neighbourhood.

A couple of them even come running when they see me.

For me there is literally ZERO contest. They clean themselves, they're quiet, they walk themselves and can feed themselves.

But i also love pet rats. They're SO affectionate and I have never been nipped by one once.

I was at work yesterday and one of our guests was sitting outside with their dog - I did that "tck tck" tongue click thing to say hello to the dog - and the dog went FUCKING APESHIT  :facepalm:

It's like - I was literally saying hello you fucking ugly parasitic sack of verminous shit.

Cats don't suddenly have a conniption fit if you just say hello to them - if they feel threatened - they just run away.
