Talk about it!
My budgies have quite the different personalities and we had to separate them because of it.
Fredward is an angry, old ass who's very rude. He bites you in the nerve!
Georgie is a very happy-go-lucky, shy and friendly baby who isn't very sure about things quite yet. He would only bite if necessary or as curiosity.

All the birds, cats, dogs, even fishies that I've ever had have had very different personalities, each unique among their species-mates. In fact, all the non-humans I've ever met and had the chance to get to know a little have always been different, and even on beings I don't know at all, I can tell they have feelings, think and experience things. To me it's absolutely unfathomableΒ how humans still dare to deny that. To me, that's blindness and arrogance, in a very sick combination. And it IS a huge problem because it's due to it that so many non-human animals suffer in atrocious ways.

Usually it's small chitters or long loud meows, meaning he wants the tap on so he can paw and play with water xD

Thank you! I'm glad you like it. I wanted to show their emotions. I hope I managed, even if the pictures are very small because stamp.

Yes, this is actually happening a lot. Even my close family thinks this - even when I try to explain this in the easiest words possible, and I am a researcher in the field of animal behaviour and welfare, so they should know that I am not talking bullshit.

Nah that's not it. I was raised with dogs, hamsters, rabbits, finches and budgies (and a pond with fishes), so my family had plenty of other animals in their life to interact with. They were just simple pets to them, like every average family with kids had. However, I do get more understanding now thanks to my budgie who has been with me for over 12 years already. I use him as an example!
That's too bad - there's so much life and individuality in all of your art! They miss a whole dimension of your art by thinking that they're just random fantasy cats.. Glad you fully agree with this stamp!

oh, i can't even believe that someone may live with animals and think so feelings and personality is not a unique gift for humans only, but a part of nature that helps us to survive - and it seems more than obvious to me. so i think animals could not survive if they were just copies of each other, without personality, feelings and thinking... i'm glad that my family understands this; i live with a cat and dog, and they aren't just simple pets - they are my friends and part of my family.
once i even thought about starting to draw humanoids just only to make my drawings and my stories more... understandable. sometimes it seems to me that some people just can't see emotions on non-human faces. but actually i don't want to do it, because i live with my felines, i see their world, and i feel like one of them... Β i don't know how to explain this in words, but i try to show this in my art... i'm glad than you can see their life and feelings, because for me they are more than just characters or "fantasy cats"

Sadly, I think that's exactly what some humans believe.... They are sometimes just completely blind to anything that isn't themselves.
Thank you.
