@Uair @actuallyautistic Always adored animals & connect really easily. The cat I always post is my neighbour's cat but it calls for me each day to spend every available hour with me. Other cats have done the same. Dogs too. All creatures, even, reluctantly wasps.

There's no facade with animals, besides .

"Animals are my friends...and I don't eat my friends."

  • George Bernard Shaw

"The thing is, when I tell people that I don’t eat meat, I’m saying it to be polite. I use that form of words because I don’t want to offend people. So, from now on I’m going to be more honest. I’m just going to tell people that I don’t eat animals.

"I was nine when I decided to stop eating animals. My twin sister and I were the only black children in school. I experienced racism in and out of the classroom, so in the playground I would often find myself sitting in a corner talking to the local cats. When the cats were away, I’d talk to the birds and the bees. Amazingly, I never met a racist animal. Some were nervous when they first approached me, some would make a few visits before they got close, but it never took long for us to make a connection. Then we would just hang out together."' - Benjamin Zephaniah
