Mayra is great with all kinds of animals. I have 2 fish, 1 iguana, 2 great danes n 1 kitty. She did not scare easy. When my iguana jumped on her she did not go crazy. She grabed her gently and pet her and my iguana just loved her. She rode on her shoulder all the time. My great danes loved her too they always want Mayra to sit with them to watch the kitty. Kitty was always trying to get her full attention so cute. My fish were not forgotten mayra always fed them what we arranged for. Shes great. Try not to hog her too much my pets will miss her if u do.
