~ The Reason Why ~

I'm usually not the kind of guy who takes home stray cats.

Truth be told, I was actually really bad with animals as a kid.

I didn't know how to interact with them.

The first time my friend let me hold his hamster, I was so afraid of crushing it.

Whenever I saw dogs licking my friends' faces, I thought "How scary! These dogs have no sense of self-control."

I didn't see the point in treating them how I wanted to be treated.
