do animals prefer you?

I found out that many times i pat a dog, and its owner comments that it usually doesnt let anyone pat it. feral cats seem to favor me over other people as well. 

i just wonder what others experience is.

  • I mentioned the brushtail possums that I have dealings with in the trees around where we live. This is the first one that I mentioned, and what she is doing here is dining on some banana, almonds and sunflower seeds that I brought to her. We have named her ‘Mrs. Ferris’ and she’s a big personality - a very special possum. She is a cheeky diva of a girl, and utterly hilarious. There’s a lot going on behind those eyes.

    She was a teenager when I met her, and had a bun in the oven (well, in her pouch) 4-5 months later, so she was just maturing into adulthood when she first introduced herself to me. There have been three joeys to date - she brings them for show and tell every time they grow old enough to ride around on her back, and by that time they have had me chatting away to her whilst they were pouch-bound, so I’m not a surprise - I just have another mouth to feed for a while.

  • The loveable is strong with them.

    They see me once or twice a week, maximum. Their natural diet is most important but occasional well-informed choice in supplemental ‘desert’ is entirely appropriate. They are a protected species, and supplemental food covers any natural variability.

    Very precious interactions.
