If you had to come back as one animal, which would you choose — dog or cat?
I went with cat, and honestly it wasn’t even a hard decision. Cats seem like they’ve completely mastered the art of living. They sleep most of the day, wander around doing whatever they want, and somehow still get treated like royalty. No one expects them to fetch anything or impress anyone. If they feel like hanging out with you, they will. If not, they’ll disappear to a sunny window and nap for four hours.
Dogs seem like they have a good life too, but it also feels like a full-time job. Constant enthusiasm, always ready to go outside, always trying to please someone. Respect to that lifestyle, but it sounds exhausting.
As a cat, you basically wake up, stretch, judge everyone silently, knock something off a table, eat, then go back to sleep.
Hard to beat that life.
What did you pick and why?
