Nah, I'd end up naming it, and it would live out its life terrifying me while I tried to be its friend...it'd end up hating me but loving everyone else....it'd be a disaster.
So...My fears.

How can you be afraid of something so cute....
Most everyone in my family has some type of phobia, I'm the only one who doesn't. A couple fears would probably be good though. I've played with a full grown male lion and a 600 pound plus black bear. Both were tame but still very strong and both very wild animals really. I hunt black bears with a bow. For a time I lived in south central Texas and I moved houses for a living. Since most of them didn't have basements part of my job was going under the house disconnecting the plumbing and knocking out chimney foundations in a crawlspace. Lots and lots of creepy crawlies under there. Seemed like Texas has most everything that can bite or sting. Rattlers, copperheads, cottonmouths, coral snakes, black widows, brown recluses, scorpions, tarantulas. Seen them all from time to time under those houses...well not the cotton mouths, but saw plenty of those while hunting ducks in swamps down there. After that nothing much bothers me. The freakiest thing I think I saw that did creep me out a little was seeing about 1000 daddy long leg spider all huddled together pulsating in unison. That did give me the willies since it was bout 18 inches in front of my face in a dark crawlspace with only a headlamp to see them. It was basically a big ball of spiders. Never seen that before or since.
I love whitewater canoeing or rafting. I've done a bit of rock climbing as well so heights don't bother me much. I haven't skydived YET, but it's on my bucket list. I think the rush would be amazing. Being an Adrenalin Junky has put me in jeopardy before and I'm sure it will again. I think the only fear I really have is big open water in HUGE waves. I have been on Lake Superior in a couple storms in rather small boats and although it is amazing it is truly horrifying. The water is so cold and the waves have no mercy in them. I got caught in a fast moving late summer storm on a very big lake in Northern MN while on a solo canoe trip(by myself). The waves seemed huge and I was caught in the open. There were a couple times when I couldn't see shore because I was down in the trough of the wave. That is really scary because you know you are on your own and if you lose it you're dead.
My wife thinks I'm nuts and maybe I am. While camping out in a tent in Jackson Hole WY by Antelope Butte my wife woke me in the middle of the night to tell me there was something outside the tent. I listened and it was big whatever it was. My guess was either a buffalo or a grizzly. All our food was locked up somewhere else so I wasn't worried about that. When she said there was something out there my reply was "of course there is something out there, we are in the wilderness." Then I fell back to sleep in a couple seconds from what mt wife tells me. She was was not happy...

Oh my word, just the SOUND of a bug flapping its wings makes me shudder and look around. Once a stinkbug or something landed on my arm in the middle of the night and I shrieked and screamed and kicked and cried and flailed until my father saved me. Even if the blinds start vibrating because of a breeze or something, I start breathing quicker.
And I'm afraid of bugs getting in my ears and nose. The thought terrifies me.
i used to be afraid of the escalators. I thought I was going to trip getting on or off and fall for an hour and a half.
I get panicky when I swim in lakes and I can't see the bottom. I imagine scary things around me. Like pike and pickerals.
And worms. Not earthworms, like tapeworms. I loose sleep over those.
