I’ve always wondered why I was drawn to certain animals. So
I decided to research what certain animals could represent. My top three
animals are: cats, wolves and most recently owls. I’ve been a cat person since
I was little. I always preferred cats as pets as opposed to other pets. I also
have been drawn to wolves since I was in junior high/high school. Most
recently, I have been drawn to owls. I was thinking why I could be drawn to
these animals and not others. Is there something in my personality that I see
in these animals? And what I found was quite shockingly true.
I’ve loved cats all my life ever since I got my firsts cat, Marshmallow,
when I was 5 years old. Cats are well-liked and clever, albeit a bit aloof with
high ideals. I am well-liked and I’m often told that I’m clever. I can totally
see myself as aloof sometimes with standards and integrity which are usually
beyond my years. They look to travel off the beaten path and try something new.
Cats have little patience for old and outdated ideas. I’m usually good at
trying new things, especially something I have never tried before. I also have
little patience for traditions and rituals simply because “that’s the way it
is.” I usually want to know why a tradition is carried out. Cats are strong,
fearless, and take great joy in the right to be independent. I don’t know if
I’m fearless but I do take care joy in being independent. In a recent study
from Carrol University, “cat people” are more likely to be non-conformists,
more sensitive and more intelligent.
I’ve loved wolves since high school and their connection to
the Native American cultures. Wolves are seen as noble, self-aware and
confident. Wolves represent value of close friends but an individual likes
being on their own as well. I prefer to have a few close friends as well as
being on my own. I actually look forward to times when I can be totally alone.
I like activities that do not require multiple people like reading and writing.
People look up to individuals represented by the wolf. These people are good at
handling a lot of responsibility. It’s nice to picture people looking up to me
and I am good at handling a lot of responsivity. I’ve been doing it since I was
12 years old. Wolves will accomplish tasks which interest them with intensity
and determination. This is funny because I can read a book in a day if I wanted
too but some tasks, like cleaning can take days if I put it off! They tend to
have high standards. Wolf people can be described as “aloof” and “mysterious”
but that is not necessarily the vibe the individual is trying to give off.
Wolves also represent coolness and composure until someone messes with friends
or family and then all bets are off.
In many cultures around the world, owls are seen as
harbingers of death or messengers from the spirit world. The presence of an owl
is often seen as a bad omen. Owls have always been a symbols of intelligence
and wisdom to me. The Greek goddess Athena, the goddess of wisdom has the owl
as her sacred symbol. Owls are viewed as highly intelligent individuals who are
very sensitive and aware of their surroundings. They approach life from a
pragmatic standpoint with perfectionist tendencies which propel them toward
success. Owls can be seen dealing with things sensibly and realistically based
on practical rather than theoretical consideration. Owls represent
matter-of-fact and down to earth individuals. I see myself being very
pragmatic. I tend to look at tasks and situation as realistically as possible
and approach problems with practical solutions. I wouldn’t say I’m highly
intelligent. There are some topics and subjects that I do not know but I am
intelligent. I am often the cool head in tense situations and sometimes I do
have a sense of panic but I can usually calm myself down in order to deal with
the situation properly.
After researching these animals, I think my favorite animals
represent me well. I like the cleverness of the cat, the composure of the wolf
and the wisdom of the owl. A few people who knew are probably saying “I don’t
think so” but I think those who really know me might be able to see these
characteristics in me. I think if you were to look into why certain animals
appeal to you, you might be surprised by what you find. You just might find
that the animals you are drawn to reflect more of your personality than you
realize. Check it out.
