Animals see me as part of their world. What I do is not see myself as other than an animal.
They want to meet me. It has been that way forever.

I sit and a dog comes and puts it head in my lap. The people say that never happen before, it ignores most people, but does not like strangers, is known for biting, I have the same feelings.

When I walk in the wild I see lots of animals, we exchange hellos. Bears like me.

It is nothing I do or say, it works from a distance, walking down a dirt road a horse in the pasture looks up, somewhat puzzeled look, and comes over to the fence. I stop and chat for a bit, I do blow air from my nostrails into theirs. We stand together, often with mutual neck stroking.

Some horses I have known better, they had problems with humans. That rope and saddle thing, mastering by force. I wash faces and clean hooves. I am a good animal, we become friends. We take walks, a nose at my cheek. They remind me of three year old's, if they had coloring books they would let me color.

Little children pick me out of a crowd, run over, put up their arms to be picked up. Their parents look shocked. I know, I sit on the ground, same size now, they stare and touch me. They talk, expressing something. They want to take me home and keep me for a pet.

One little girl of five did, she is eighteen now, I am like a pet magic dragon. It rubs off, dogs and little children want to meet her.

It makes up for a lot of that other world. The Dragonaphobic.

Animals LOVE me.

While people are attracted to me,so are animals,but they LOVE me and I love them back.

Yes, I seem to understand cats in particular. I don't get dogs even though I'm the one that takes care of the 2 family dogs.

If it were possible I would clone my cat George (He's the cat in my avatar pic). He's getting old and is the smartest cat I have ever known. He understands many words and phrases, and has a presence about him that makes anyone who ever meets him instantly like him. Even people who normaly hate cats! He isn't neurotic and jumpy like many cats tend to be, he just goes with the flow.
