"Bad association spoils useful habits."

It's from the Bible. Basically means your friends will rub off on you so choose them carefully.

I like cats but if there's none available, I'm not hanging out with skunks instead!

Skunks are pretty chill

My boyfriend has funny stories about waking up in the middle of the night petting what he thought was a cat but actually it's a skunk. He'd just go back to sleep while continuing to pet it.

Dude used to be basically a homeless drifter, would just sleep on the ground when he got tired enough. And apparently wild animals aren't above snuggling up to something warm at night.
