What are your favorite animals? I know that this will be a very unpopular post, but I have a strong aversion to all domesticated cats. Like a really strong aversion, to the point of not being able to be in the same space as them. Whereas, I love tigers, lions, cheetahs, Pumas, lynx’s, jaguars, mountain…

If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why?
