You are being absolutely ADORABLE is what you're doing!

"I've been an animal lover for donkey's years"? That's not an expression I've ever heard before. Is this the literal translation, or some sort of regional slang?

"Donkey's years" is a British idiom for "ages/a long time/many years". ("Dog's age" would be a US equivalent.) I don't think it's regional, being known UK-wide, but I could be wrong.

Huh, I didn't even consider it not being used in the US; it just sounded good with the animal connection.

if she really wanted to, she could just sprout her fox ears and tail(s) since she is a kitsune like Tamamo.
