Mine like to sit on my lap as I watch TV or work on the laptop. Humanizing your animals is perfectly normal and who is to say what an animal likes or dislikes. I have yet to meet a person who could communicate with them. I don’t think my snake love's me they are a primal creature that are basically pure instinct. I think they view me as "THE GREAT BRINGER OF RODENTS". My dogs however being sentient self aware animals, I have no doubt that they love me.
