what in your opinion is the most adorable animal in the world, and why?
I love the big cats. Jaguars, Panthers, Pumas, Tigers, Lions, Cheetahs, even the Ocelot!
Do you know the reason for your choice, or is it totally subjective?
I love cats. I have two who allow me to share their living quarters and be their devoted slave. I can see the wild side of their instincts (like when the fat tabby comes home with prey) and I think it is always good to remember that the "domesticated" cat is not all that many generations from the Tiger!
Were you once scared of this animal but have grown to like it?
Nope, always loved cats. I like dogs too. But I like cats that teensy bit more!
Has your love of it increased or decreased over the years?
Oh definitely grown over the years, especially since I was adopted by the fat tabby and her cosmic blonde kitten.
Have you ever gone to great lengths to see it in the wild?
I only seen the big cats on the TV in wildlife documentaries. I think it is very unlikely I will ever get to seea tiger in the wild. I have been to London Zoo and seen the big cats, and I rather fancy going to Longleat as well. Not ideal, but I get to see them in the flesh!
Does a certain area of the world have more adorable animals than others?
Africa seems to do well with them!
Do 'cute' animals have to fulfil certain criteria?
Yes. They need to be fluffy, have potential for cuddling (even if they would eat you for breakfast!), have large eyes, a cute nose, and for me, whiskers. I don't know why, but anything with whiskers looks cute!
Do you prefer people?
Not on the whole, no. Animals tend to be much nicer and easier to predict!
