Well, actually, I like animals a little bit. In general, I enjoy watching them from a distance. However, I can't handle being close to them. To be honest, I'm quite afraid of dogs, all kinds and breeds. But I really like cats. Although, I still can't handle them up close. I hope in the future I can have a cat as a pet.
