I think I was born in love with cartooning, crafts and cats before I even knew what they were. The 3 Big C's of my life.

Me: Puzzles, Animals (model horses, typical pets)
Daughter: Art, Animals (insects, typical pets)

In college I did best in linear algebra (and psychology) and disliked physics (and engineering labs). Today I work in technology: good at system requirements, visual solutions.

animals, on a philosophical(agri-cultural)-pattern level, even more so for plants and microbiology
......(consequently&politically loathe the nwo-pet-culture propaganda)

art, first thing to put me off creative art was mother always exaggerating that and the upperclassyness of artsy housewifes, second the egotism of making something "useless" (materialisticly) (that was the seventies, afterall)

art, history, religion and mythology
plants and drugs and people: mindcontrol, obscurantism and the dark art side of science
spatial and imaginative thinking, it's diffucult to grasp that you can't 'work' that way, but must peddle on the muddied river of words

put off by languages i did sciences but there much fell also into 'learn by head' over 'understanding', follow and repeat the book, and that on the highest level of education

Art yes, animals no.

I enjoy reading about intelligent creatures like crows and octopuses, however I'm not really into 'animals' as a general topic at all. I feel like you need an emotional link to them since they're alive, and I don't have one. I do appreciate cuteness though, and I love reptile patterns from an artistic and mathematical perspective.

I have an active dislike of shetland ponies which seems really unfair on them. It's because they are disproportionate; I find them grotesque. Sorry, shetland ponies.

I like animals and I've always been interested in stories told from an animal's point of view, but they're not really a special interest. I like some art, but I'm not good at it. I'm more into writing and imagining things in my head.

My very first special interest was insects and arthropods, and I do like animals in general. Art has never interested me that much. I started to get into drawing a year or so ago, but then I had to stop the medication I was taking for my essential tremor because it was making my blood pressure drop too low, and now it's too frustrating because of the tremor to be any fun. But then again, I'm also terrible with numbers and formulae, meaning I'm no good at math or physics or anything, either. My special interests tend to somehow involve the paranormal/supernatural.
