I have observed that earthlings, or humans as they seem to prefer being called, often live with other species which owe their existence mainly to their human admirers. Humans keep one or more individuals or species in their residences, feed them, entertain them, lavish affection on them and talk to them. These creatures have been observed to speak to each other and to humans but I have not yet discovered discernable patterns of language in their "speech".

Often these beings have long soft hair or fur and very flexible ears. Their senses are much more evolved than humans' and they are usually, but not always, of smaller size, and can be carried much as very young humans are. I have also seen humans ride on the backs of large ones. Some humans seem to prefer these favorites to their own offspring!

In Dimension X we also have favorites. They look exactly like us but are easily recognizable. Just as earth has species which are not favorites but which prefer to live independently, usually in places avoided by humans, X has some beings which prefer to live apart, alone or in groups of their own kind. The difference is that we do not fear them, nor they us. We do not kill each other, nor do we place them in enclosed areas where they can be admired by others.

I am trying to comprehend certain variations of this behavior. Here is an example. I have observed humans to extremely prefer another human, usually but not always of a different gender, and treat them like the small furred or feathered ones. They have them in their personal residences and treat them like pets, feed them, talk to them, and lavish affection on them. I am not sure what role this behavior plays in your society.

Please be free to add to my knowledge and also to ask me questions. Aus weidersehn, amici.
