Pains of loving "unconventional" animals

Greetings. I'm sure this has been posted before, however.. I am not exactly wanting to look through multiple pages 😔 and it seems there are a lot of the same topics that pop up so.. if making a thread for something that might already have one isn't alright, please let me know!

At any rate, is there anyone here whom shares this confliction? Dogs and horses are the animals you always think of for zoo loves, and I get that. Dogs are beautiful, intelligent and loyal. Horses are majestic, one of a kind animals and plus you can ride them (I was a horse girl growing up, and still love to get in the saddle when able) but I never was... Eh, feeling overly sexual with them. I feel a platonic love to equines. As for canines, the knot is holy. However while I can feel a connection and spark, it is hard and I do not want to mess around with every dog I see. Sex is nice, yes, but I could also technically use a dildo toy instead (I mean that in the nicest way possible, as I don't enjoy using animals purely for sex)

But what about ones that don't fall fully into those two categories?
I like cats. Typical cat lady yeah sure, but I've always had an affinity with them. I feel a connection so deeply, and it also drives me insane since well, you see the size issues here... My choices are small housecats, which sexually it is possible to do somethings, it is vastly different than a dog, and the human doesn't get any physical pleasure reciprocated.
Or. Big cats, which is going to be absolutely impossible to actually have, legally, and also the sheer danger that they can very easily kill you if annoyed.
I suppose there's also the issue of their genitalia.. if the yowls of the female cats is anything to go by.

Even regardless to all of it, I still like our feline friends. I guess many of us end up settling for a dog, or sometimes a horse, and there's nothing wrong with that. You can form bonds with anyone or anything. There will however always be a longing there.
So.. who else loves the unconventional beasts?
 
What a great question! I love your thoughts on this.
Much like humans, if any animal treats me with love and respect I will treat it with the same. I have cats and love them dearly. One of them wants little affection and just wants to be fed and the other just loves quietly being near me, something I love. We have a special bond.

I used to have a beautiful yellow and green Parakeet. She was definitely my first love and I think she knew it. She loved to land on my shoulder and head and nuzzle and nibble me. I miss her a lot some days but she's in the great big birdcage in the sky. Hopefully we will meet again someday in zoo heaven, along with all our lovers.

My kitties are very affectionate, to the points sometimes they can be annoying! I feel as though they think they are little dogs, never enough attention and play. They are precious, though. I'd do anything to keep them safe and happy.
It's hard for me to feel a sexual bond with a critter I raised since nearly weaned, so the cats are more like children to me in that regard. It would be different most likely to bond with a cat who I didn't raise as a kitten, to perhaps feel the zooey side. Theres been many felines I've seen and thought they were absolutely beautiful and downright sexy, domesticated and wild. I'd give about anything to be accepted in a lion pride 😞 fantasies shall stay fantasies I guess.

Birds are adorable, and I've talked with two zoos whom has bird companions. The birds definitely saw their humans as mates, and acted as such. Birds imprint hard on people and that can lead to amazing relationships.
I'm sure you'll see your bird again. Not just dogs go to heaven! And paradise wouldn't be so without our animals.

I have never raised an animal from birth so I can't say from personal experience but it makes sense you'd see them more as children. But I'd say that is also a part of being a zoo too. Many zoos just go all lust crazy over animals but they forget all about the love side. Animals aren't sexual objects that we lust over, they are as alive and as important as you and me. If you see your cats like your children then that's a part of being a zoo as well.

I've seen many a wild animal in my days and been blown away by how gorgeous they have been. There are so many sexy deer and cats near me I can't even. Such beautiful furs and colors and forms, eyes and ears and fluffy tails! I love em all.

I'd love to have an animal companion to see as a lover rather than a child, just hasn't happened yet with my own. There was a lovely tom an old friend of mine had. Honestly the most beautiful thing, extremely affectionate and originally wasn't fixed (ended up getting neutered as he wouldn't stop marking territory in the house no matter how much she tried to break him of it)
He's one of the reasons I realized I was zoo for felines also, and realizing the strange feelings I'd have seeing wild cats as well, especially lions and leopards.. I had never put 2 and 2 together, and had made people uncomfortable at times when I talked about how attractive they were without thinking. Having to backtrack and say it's because they are wild and majestic rather than "Oh yeah I wanna bang a lion."
As for Samson the tomcat, we were never alone enough for me to try anything beyond more intimate than should be belly rubs. Realistically I know there's not much I could do beyond some handsy time, though it would at the very least be fulfilling to an extent.

When it comes down to it, I'll most likely get a pooch at some point. Husband also wants one, and we are some coming to the means to have a dog thankfully. He's always grown up with a dog so he doesn't feel complete without one.
 
I mean, I love bull's, but thats not that unconventional I think.

If you love a "dangerous" animal, you have adapt in the sex part. There are just things you cannot do. I love my bull, but I for sure will never let him mount me, that's way to dangerous. I instead focus on the things I can do with him, like cuddling, brushing etc. And for the sex part, he gets the occasional blowjob, when he's exited.

Cattle definitely aren't as popular as equines, but I've seen enough to know cattle are desired. This is typically for females though, as I feel many are terrified of bullshit for good reason. That being said I have met a very sweet bull when I worked summers on a farm with horses. He wasn't castrated which surprised me for how gentle he was.

It's wonderful to be able to bond with your animal loves, even if it can't be sexual. When it comes to big cats for myself, I don't believe in having them as pets, so it'll most likely always stay a fantasy for me, which is fine if not still annoying.
 
'late to respond as I'm new here, but I share in your pain.
I have a deep love and connection to rabbits, and I guess I could appreciate them from afar, but I'm definitely extremely jealous of those who can mate with their partners. I'd love nothing more than to have relations with a rabbit but it's very impossible or unlikely depending on the position and level of domestication. I would say that at least I am attracted to cats as well, but cats are small, often hard to read sexually, and can be quite dangerous. I would not want to hurt the animal I'm mating with.
both cats and rabbits are very beautiful, I cant help but be jealous in regards to dog and horse lovers.

I've always wanted a rabbit, but with cats that is beyond dangerous. They are beautiful little things, but being so small you understand my pain with loving partners you cannot do much physical things with. With mine also falling into the realm of large wild cats, it doesn't help the feelings of longing.

I do at least some some attraction to canines, but I feel it does place itself more into the category of enjoyment of their equipment rather than full attraction to wanting a partner like in felines. I do not find that in of itself bad, as long as both parties are happy with the sexual outcome.

It is a bit of a relieving solidarity feeling that you know what it's like... But also being sad that you do, as well.
 
100% I agree. It's so painful. I also relate to the feeling of having some attraction to other animals, though like you said here it's just not the same as being with your ideal partner.
I am also very relieved that somebody can understand this feeling and relate to it, and the sadness that comes with it as well.
the longing is often too much to bear for me, and finding those I can relate to was the reason I joined this forum in the first place. It's especially hard knowing that majority of all "media" related to rabbits is abusive, which hurts my heart very much.
