I have the Dragon as my totem, also Fox and Cat.
Dragon has had the most impact on me, followed by Cat.

I am my own totem
i`m only just beggining to read and trying to understand what totems are. i`ve been reading what one said here about the rabbit, kinda fits me. i was coming down from a short hike and a dog kept barking in some guys yard, i looked that way and there was this black rabbit staying in front of him ears pointed up, just looking him in the eyes, i stopped and looked a while, tried calling the rabbit to me, but he kept looking at the dog, dog was barking out of his mind ) this one fits. i didn`t interpret it in any way until now, i just smiled hehe. some nights ago i dreamed about my father, weird relationship i have with him. he was carying a wild cat that somehow escapes, or is let go of, and after that attacks me, it really hurt, i woke up sweating and breathing like at the marathon. i dunno how to interpret this either. i have some sort of fear of cats, they`re so... unpredictable, unreadable, i respect them. then i have my dog, it`s like she`s always on X hehe, i always loved dogs. i guess this fits me, i`m pretty loyal. i don`t understand how and what they guide, should i do something about them? i don`t understand much about the meaning and purpose of totems.

Mine are the turtle and hawk
Mine is interchangeable between a cat and butterfly. Weird eh?
Cat:
Mystery, Magic and Independence
A cat totem encourages agility in both body and mind.
You will be challenged with new ideas and places.
The cat gives you clearer perception.
This spirit helper is resourceful, strong and fearless.
It will give you courage and confidence.
Examine the colors, character and behaviors of your Cat.
Everything about it will reflect in your own life.
When a Cat becomes predominant in your life,
magic and mystery come alive.
Butterfly:
Transmutation, Dance of Joy
The butterfly is the symbol of change, joy and color.
It is the symbol of the soul.
They remind us that life is a dance,
not to take things quite so seriously.
They also remind us to get up and move.
Dance brings the sweetness of life.
Butterflies bring color and joy to your life.
Look at them and remember what joy is in your life,
if its a lot or a little, it is still joy.
They teach us that growth and transformation does not have to traumatic;
it can occur gently, sweetly, joyfully.

My totem is The Snake.
I also have a connection with The Hawk, The Wolf, and The Scorpion as my other elemental, secondary totems. My main totem is The Snake.
Those who Fall will find their Heaven
and will always be adored.
In Plaudo Atri Matris!
Snake and Cat. Snake the primary and Cat the secondary.
My main three are the dragon, the wolf and the bird(I don't know what type, it seems to be a bit of lots of diiferent ones) and I use the shark,lizard,scorpion,dog,fox,tiger,cat and monkey as my secondary ones.
Mine is the snake. From Animal Totem

Snakes smell with their tongues, and that's why it flickers out of their mouth so much. An amazing aspect of snakes is their ability to shed their skin and create a new layer. Before they shed their skin, their eyes cloud over giving them a trance like appearance. Once they have fully shed their old skin, their eyes clear up and they leave the place, never looking back.
Snake comes when we are moving toward change and need to let go of a part of our old self. Snake awakens our spiritual intuition allowing us to explore the mysterious depths of our mind and soul. Its unblinking stare looks into our souls and teaches us how to birth untapped power and creative wisdom.

I tend to love animals in general, but snakes are my favorite. Most people find snakes creepy or even loathsome, but I've handled snakes at the nature centers since I was a kid. Even the non-poisonous snakes can strike when aroused, and even the common garter snake gives a pretty unpleasant bite. Actually, the corn snake was preferred as a display animal over the garter snake. Corn snakes are fairly common - they like cornfields - and they are fairly large and lazy as adults.
My all time favorite snake is the North American Copperhead. It's actually a diamond-back viper (no rattler), and it's one of the most common snakes in North America. The top 3 are garden snakes, (or garter snakes), those corn snakes, and then the copperhead.
They have a dark body with a diamondback pattern, and then a coppery colored blunt head and nose (kind of a hognose.) They are not an aggressive species. They are really lazier than those cornsnakes. The problem is that their bite is toxic enough to harm someone, particularly a child. That means that they are better off left alone when seen in the wild. They are illegal as pets in the states. They are also illegal to be kept at nature centers, unless they are part of a special laboratory.

Deer play a significant role in my life, they often act as omens, as do crows though I feel less of a connection to crows.
