I am, admittedly, not an animal person (and a thousand people *gasp* LOL). I just don't bond with animals. I grew up with a rather friendly black lab but I didn't particularly enjoy being around him. :-/

I wonder what a psychodynamic T would say about that. I claim it's genetic. My dad doesn't like animals. My grandmother (his mom) didn't like them either...

My children will probably own like twenty cats because I deprive them.
