I have five favourite animals--they make up a part of my spirit called the Faunar Pentacle. ^_^
Those five are the: (in no particular order)
Cat--Ah, so there are several cat lovers here. I have two cats of my own, and of course if I wrote a song called "The Pink Kitten" and created a group of RP characters called the Black Cat Bandits... The way they can cuddle up softly in your arms or stealthily sneak around in the night... Anyways, whenever I doodle an animal of some sort, about 60% of the time it's a cat.
Rabbit--Okay, so this animal is definitely fifth place--I don't know about the others. Cute and cuddly, and at the same time rather crazy and comical as well. Or dare I say... deranged? A few characters I created and even a song I wrote are devoted to this lovable bunny...
Snake--Ah, so we have one other snake lover at least. They explain my affinity for anything sinister or magical in nature... Hehheh, the Harry Potter series helped bring this animal to the top of my list... among one or two other things.
Raven--I find the symbolism revolving around the raven rather interesting... enchanting even. Dark and somber, yet at the same time one who tried to fly to the sun... regarded as a trickster and a symbol of magic... I think my personal logo would consist of a raven holding a rose in its beak.
Wolf--Wait, what's this doing here, after a few of my past criticisms of dogs? And why isn't there a fox on this list?!? *looks at username* Like with the raven, I find the symbolism and legends revolving around this creature rather fascinating. Ah, are wolves bloodthirsty hunters or the most intelligent and spiritual type of dog in existence? There is that special connection to the moon... Oh! Oh! I know what helped the wolf on its way into this list to replace the fox! That pesky character of my creation that I occasionally use in RPG's and have been in love with for at least a year. The one named Lupin. XD
And the fox stands at number six...
