Q: Do you like animals?
A: Yes I do, but I am allergic to most kinds of animals. I did not have bad allergies as a child, so when I was growing up we often had kittens, and sometimes even puppies. I also had several parakeets when I was about 12. They were great pets, but sometimes got very noisy, especially when they were having an argument. What do parakeets argue about? I have no idea, but their fights are loud!
In high school I had a rat that was a very good pet. He was smart and affectionate, and when I let him out of his cage he would follow me around the house! He preferred to be carried though, and he was a bit of a coward. If he lost sight of me he would panic and run for whoever was close to him, hahahaa!
These days my allergies are very severe, so there are few animals I can be around. My apartment does not allow most pets anyway.

Q: 動物は好き？
動物は好きよ、でも私はたいていの動物のアレルギーがあるの。子供の頃はひどくなかったので、子猫をよく飼っていたし、時には子犬を飼って育ったわ。１２歳のときインコも数羽飼ったわ。彼らはすごくいいペットだったけど、時々喧しいの。喧嘩をするときは特にね。インコって何で喧嘩するかって？わからないわ。でも彼らの喧嘩はうるさいのよ！
高校ではねずみを飼ったわ。とてもよいペットだったわよ。彼は賢くて人懐こく、ケージから出すと、私の後を家中ついてくるの！だっこされるのが好きだけどちょっぴり臆病だった。私を見失うとパニックになって近づくものは何でもおいかけてたわ（笑）
最近は私のアレルギーがひどいので飼えるペットがほとんどないの。私のアパートはペット禁止だしね。
