Tigers.
My favorite animal. Always have been, always will be.
The older I get, I realize that I associate with tigers.
You see, tigers are solitary animals. They keep to themselves and travel alone, except for during mating season. They’re cunning when it comes to catching their prey, and though they usually eat it themselves, they have been known to share. The latter proves that tigers do and can communicate with each other on several different levels.
Tigers are also nocturnal and extremely territorial.
I’ve been known to be a loner. I’m no hermit, per say, but I do enjoy being by myself. I don’t need a lot of human interaction to get by day to day. Some here and there, and I’m fine. But I do love being alone. I like the quiet. I like the night. I like the dark. I sometimes get most of my ideas in the late hours of the night.
I’ve been called devious and sneaky, though never cunning but they are near synonyms.
I am fairly territorial. I love my room, and you would be wise to stay out or just not touch unless otherwise invited. I don’t do well to people being in my room. It’s my place of solace. I’m also territorial with my loved ones. You try and hurt them, there will be repercussions.
Tigers.
They’re beautiful and fierce. Majestic and superior.
Most might disagree, but I feel my animal soul belongs to that of a tiger.
