I know, I just felt like adding a bit more. Also, I've always found cat personalities to be similar to human personalities. Independent but social. We enjoy company and affection but also like our personal space. With the exception of my old cat of course. He is and always has been extremely affectionate. All he wants is to be loved and cuddled every second of his life.

In regards to parrots, they often form mate bonds, whether you know it or not. I constantly have to turn down my teen's regurg, because I'm not interested in being his mate, and he needs to know that. I'm just a friend.

He is a 15 year old Greenwing Macaw who was a rescue. I love him with all my heart (he's secretly my favorite, lol) but it's a motherly thing. We sing together, we laugh together, he'll try to copy me talking to someone else(which is often something you can't do with a bird that thinks you are a mate, as they can get highly possessive). He's a great boy, but is very hormonal, and as a responsible owner, I need to recognize that and shut him down, as a human and an avian mate bond causes a lot of frustration for both parties. Avian because they don't understand why you aren't following through (as most owners are unaware things like touching anywhere but the head and feet is a mate thing and produces hormones), and on the human's part because most of them don't realize they're triggering it and think,"Oh, my bird has turned aggressive for no reason. Why is he chasing me around the house and viciously seeking out my significant other?"

Lol! I have to agree with you there! I too have an anomaly cat. He wants to be with someone 24/7 pretty much, is puddy in my hands, and demanding for food and attention lol. Sweetest cat I have ever had the pleasure to know, and I'm glad he's mine. Well, really he's my mom's per his preference, but I'm the one that saved him...twice...once by rescuing him, then again when he had a nerve sheath tumor on his lower front leg that resulted in removing the leg and shoulderblade. X.x

The missing limb is sad, but kinda funny...he wasn't graceful when he had all 4...and now, he randomly slides off of things if he's not careful lol.

I've heard so many times about cats loving just their couch and food..........!!!

Omg Kuamatra lol. That is so funny because of just how true that is!

When I was a kid I had a neighbor with a cockateil and love bird, and the lovebird was a boy.

Every time he was let out of his cage he'd fly into her hair and do naughty things. He also would attack her husband and bit others as well. Quite the tiny terror really.
