For me attachment to animals happens very easily. I have to sort of decide not to attach. It sounds weird but I can actually do that if I decide it from the start. It takes me a long time to form nearly a strong bond with a human. For me, part of it is that I have no ideas what humans feel, but I can see feelings in animals very clearly.
I have my set of rules what I can feel and not. I had a bit of a struggle with beef if I should eat it or not. But I decided for it. Else I am a meat eater. Also I don't think you should if you cannot kill, so done that too.
But especially some animals' fate bother me, mostly cats, dogs and horses. Maybe double standards but I don't feel the same for a deer or a rabbit.
So guess I'm both overly and under sensitive compared to the norm when it comes to animals. But I just do what I feel is right for me.
Missing cat's notes almost tear my heart out.
