animals are cool, kind, and reliable ---- tell us your good experiences

Hi Aidie.
I love my cat Winnie. I am undiagosed for autism at present but waiting for my first doctors appointment.

My cat Winnie is a little nutcase lol. She's a (nearly) 7 year old part Bombay cat that came to me through the RSPCA. I've had her since she was 8 months old and she is definitely one of my best friends. She's a little skittish and not keen on being picked up, but she's quite happy sitting between my legs, with her head on my ankle when I am sitting on my bed. She's also very playful and likes nothing better than playing with her catnip fish, climbing pole and my feet when I am walking round the house. She always seems to know when I am feeling unwell, due to my other medical conditions and will barely move away from me until I feel better again.

She's also very sweet as well and will spend pretty much every minute of the day with me, unless she's eating, drinking or I am at work. As soon as she hears my voice she will start meowing for either food, dreamies or fuss. She's a little unsure of my parents, especially my poor Dad who she now tolerates - but we think she was mistreated by a large male before she was put up for adoption. It's taken her a good 4 years before she allowed Dad to stroke her fully, but she does enjoy playing with his shoes/laces and will occasionally rub up against his feet when he is sitting down in the living room. 

I also own a stubborn 6 year old Leopard Gecko called Leo, who I bought on my actual birthday (which is late July - hence the Leo as it's my zodiac sign). He's not keen on being handled, but will quite happily try and snatch live locusts from my hand, a couple of Corn Snakes, Inca (my oldest reptile at almost 8 years old), is a gentle snake, unless she can smell mouse, then she's a different story. Aztec (7 years old) who you enter his vivarium with gloves and long sleeves if you want to put water into his bowl or tempt him with a mouse. My invertebrates are my tarantulas, Truffle (Chilean Gold Burst), Holly (Mexican Red Knee) and Chaos II (Chaco Golden Knee) and my African Land Snails Birch and Oak.

I am hopefully getting another Russian Dwarf Hamster in the New Year, as my previous hamster Bonnie (who was very sweet, cute and tame) died when she was 2 1/2 years old. I am looking forward to getting another little furry hamster friend soon.
