I've always preferred dogs. I don't trust cats because you never know when they'll attack. Also, I had a traumatic experience with a cat. When I was a child, I tried to pet my aunt's cat, and she suddenly attacked me in the face. She left me with a long scar. I know not all cats are the same. For example, I met my cousin's cat named Lenin once. He was so friendly, but I discovered I was allergic to him in a funny way. I gave him hugs and kisses, and then I started to lose sensation in my lips until they became inflamed. I ended up with a swollen mouth and rashes on my arms.

I had a bunny once, but I was too young. I didn't take care of him (I didn't know how to take care of myself either), and I learned that pets are not gifts! He only lived for a week. I still feel guilty about this situation, but I was just a child to whom adults gave her an animal to take care of.

For for the past few years, I've only had dogs. I love dogs! I'll share stories about them in other posts.

Thank you for reading!


Mascotas

Siempre he preferido los perros. No confío en los gatos porque nunca sabes cuándo te atacarán. Además, tuve una experiencia traumática con un gato. Cuando era una niña, traté acariciar al gato de mi tía y de repente me atacó en la cara. Me dejó una larga cicatriz. Sé que no todos los gatos son iguales. Por ejemplo, una vez conocí al gato de mi primo llamado Lenin. Él era muy amigable, pero descubrí que era alérgica a él de una manera graciosa. Le di muchos abrazos y besos, cuando empecé perder sensación en mis labios hasta que empezaron a inflamarse. Terminé con una boca inflamada y algunas ronchas en mis brazos.

Una vez tuve un conejo pero yo era muy joven. No lo cuidé (ni siquiera sabía cuidarme to misma), y aprendí qué: ¡Las mascotas no son regalos!. Él solo vivió una semana. Aún me siento culpable por esta situación, pero yo era solamente una niña a la que los adultos le regalaron un animal para cuidar.

En los últimos años solo he tenido perros. ¡Amo los perros! Compartiré historias sobre ellos en otras publicaciones.

¡Gracias por leer!

Corrections

When I was a child, I tried to pet my aunt's cat, and she suddenly attacked me in theand scratched my face.

"attacked me" by itself is more natural. "In" is never really used with this verb. "Attacked my face" or "attacked me and scratched my face" are more natural if you want to describe where you were attacked.

I know not all cats are the same, though.

Transition to a different theme/feeling, so a transition word should be used.

He was so friendly, but I discovered I was allergic to him in a funny way.

I still feel guilty about this situation, but I was just a child to whom adults gave her an animal to take care of(who could not care for herself, much less a pet).

Great idea to be descriptive but awkward wording. Using this grammar structure "A, much less B" helps get the idea across smoother.

I still feel guilty about this situation, but (in my defense,) I was just a child to whom adults gave herhat had just been given an animal to take care of by adults.

The (corrected) sentence is fine without the phrase "in my defense", but adding that signals the reader that you are explaining the reason(s) for your poor experience with the bunny.

ForSo, for the past few years, I've only had dogs.

Feedback

I only needed to fix relatively minor bits. Also, I'm really sorry to hear about your poor experience with cats and rabbits.
