I have, quite literally never, found human babies cute.

Everyone I know thinks I'm weird for that, it's not that I dislike them, I understand they're fragile and need to be cared for and protected, I just don't feel this instinctual love for them.

I do, however feel this way towards kittens and puppies, even when I was a pup myself, I spent hours at night making sure my family's dog was safe and comfortable her first few nights, even just checking if she was breathing alright. My mum had to constantly tell me "she's a dog, we love her, but she's a pet, not a human"

i feel much more comfortable holding pups and kittens because it feels like another living creature with basic needs like mine that i’m caring for, and there’s not so many human rules. like i feel unsure about human babies because i’m scared of not being gentle enough, but with other animals i just Know and it feels natrual.

it brings me so much joy that im the creature she goes to in our house when she needs help even tho im not at home a lot because of my job. it feels like she understands im nonhuman like her

my beloved kitry

at one point i opened my eyes and she noticed and licked my nose and i was like awwww <3

i went downstairs and fed her and then laid on the couch and she came to be with me <3 i feel so parental towards her sometimes and it so endearing that a little creature comes to me for safety
