I was emotionally abused as a child and turned to my cat for love and comfort. I bonded deeply with cats. I love them very much.

The world hasn't been kind to me, although everyone in this forum has been wonderful! Because the world has been so hostile I have come to prefer the company of animals to the company of people.

My questions to you are are you the same way, preferring animals to people, and do you know if there is a clinical name for this preference of animals over people?

Thanks to all who visit my thread. Please don't be upset that I feel this way. You've all been very kind to me and I don't feel this way about you.
