My fave animal is the cheetah. I dunno why, I loved Thundercats as a kid...and Cheetara was coolness, and I've loved 'em ever since. LOL
I love most animals, but my faves would be dogs and tigers (and most exotic cats like panthers and jaguars). I like pandas too.
I'm allergic to cats, but I do like 'em.
I don't particularly care for birds.
