A favorite is defined as something you frequently refer to when talking about other attachments. This can be either material or non-material, and it has become a habit in your daily life. Regardless of the circumstances, you consistently choose this over other options. A favorite also signifies a special exception because of how much you love or appreciate it.
Animals refer to living beings that are part of the category of creatures that breathe by taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. These creatures are classified as mobile beings, some of which share similarities with humans in areas such as eating habits and behavioral patterns. Animals may provide food to humans when they are taken as sacrifices or kept as pets that follow humans around.
The animals I consider my favorites include cats, monkeys, spiders, and lizards. Cats are furry creatures that enjoy being tamed by humans. They exhibit the behavior of asking humans for food by meowing and approaching their owners. Cats also love to sleep throughout the day, especially when they are bored and not engaged in activities, often remaining idle in specific spots. They tend to follow their owners, particularly when they have been tamed and fed.
Monkeys also possess endearing characteristics, especially due to their penchant for pilfering food from people, such as stealing bananas. In rural settings, monkeys often search for food by raiding farms in human communities. They are generally seen as obedient creatures and can be trained by humans. Some monkeys will flee when humans try to approach them after they have stolen food; this typically occurs in their natural habitats that have been encroached upon by humans.
Spiders are small beings that inhabit the corners of rooms within human spaces. They usually create webs to catch insects and other small flying organisms for food. They do this particularly in areas with small airflows, where flying creatures can easily enter and exit. If humans clean out and remove these webs, the spider is capable of rebuilding their webs unless they are killed during this process.
The final animal I want to discuss is the lizard, specifically the small lizards found indoors that enjoy consuming insects. Generally, they do not move around much, but when a fly comes near, they will approach slowly and catch it using their tongues. Occasionally, when food is scarce, they may venture into human spaces, like kitchens, in search of satisfactory food that is accessible. Sometimes, humans unknowingly share their food with lizards, not realizing that the lizards are secretly consuming it when they step away.
This is a list of animals I know and have grown fond of recently. They have become my favorites because these animals often exhibit characteristics similar to those of other animals and humans, particularly in terms of their eating habits and bodily functions, much like how monkeys share similarities with humans. Although I have never eaten these animals, I suspect that lizards could be a delicious snack on special occasions. While other snacks are acceptable, animal-based snacks are undoubtedly the healthiest when paired with other ingredients!
