I love animals that aren't dependant on me. Like the birds I greet on my walk, or the spider in the pantry, or the possum in the gum tree. We have an understanding.

I don't like animals that disrespect my personal space. Like when a dog is clambering on me with sharp claws and slobber everywhere. Dogs are really the main ones in cities; you don't find many goats or other rude animals around here.

Cats are ok because they mostly introduce themselves first and ask permission before touching you. But sometimes they'll just randomly cut you open or bite you as a game, which isn't cool.
