Since childhood I have felt a strong connection to the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) http://en.wikipedia.org I find them beautiful and facinating.

I decided this morning, my totem is a HIPPO. LOL! My aunt gave me a stuffed hippo when I was a little girl, and it was one of the few toys I kept up until I got married (it was pretty shabby by that time.)
This morning I was watching a show and found out that hippos can bite a crocodile in HALF--- how cool is that? I definitely resonate with hippos.

I would have thought a cat but like Deedee and her fascination with elephants I have that same fascination with giraffes. Don't know what it is but they fascinate me and I can just watch them for hours.

My friend, an attorney, went to someone who told him his totem animal was the SKUNK. He was offended at first, he wanted to be something big and powerful... but then he realized that the skunk is respected by all the other animals, doesn't have to resort to violence to get respect. He's happy with his skunk totem!

The Wolf is mine.They are family minded.Or at times alone.I have picture and little wolves all over.My next tatto is going to be a wolf.

This may sound odd, but elephants, definitely elephants. I like to look in their big wise eyes for "something". I can't tell you what that "something" is yet, but it's there. There are very intune with each other and have a sacred family bonding. They absolutely fascinate me.

Great journal entry. I was just thinking about that today! I think the cat, too. I have a great respect for all animals, but especially cats.

I enjoy reading about Egypt and how cats were revered in Ancient Egypt. When a cat died, their humans shaved their eyebrows as a sign of grief. Off the subject, sorry, but interesting.

So, yes, cats, definitely, I align myself with the cat spirit. When I make eye contact with my cats I really feel a bond and communication with them. I wish I were better at
animal communications.
