Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?
Once again, this question sounds very familiar. But rather than analyze myself and see what animal I am most similar to, I think I’ll present my argument for why I want to be a cat.
My argument is very simple and really only has one point…laziness. I am on a major lazy streak. The Valentine’s decorations still on the front stoop of my house will attest to this. What can I say? I like lounging on the couch and taking naps, although I don’t sleep at night if I take a nap. That was never the case prior to this new stage of my life.
Dogs can be lazy too, but they have to go outside for potty breaks. Not cats. They have indoor plumbing like humans do. In fact, they don’t even have to clean their own bathroom!
They have the best toys to play with and just generally live their lives with an “I don’t care” kind of attitude. I mean, they do care. My tuxedo girl, Faye, cares about me an awful lot. Nugget, my evil gremlin grey cat, cares an awful lot about not being touched.
Regardless, I leave for work in the morning and my cats are back to being curled up on my bed sleeping. They have it so easy. I want that life. Only 20 or so more years until my retirement when I can have it. Until then, I will look longingly at those lazy fur balls living their best life on a fuzzy blanket.
