Do You Ever Wish You Could Come Back in Your Next Life as a Pet?

It was another long dreary week at work. My colleague was bored. I was just frustrated. I started muttering under my breath. “What did I ever do to deserve this? I wish I was a cat.”
I had photos of my beloved Butterscotch in front of me. I looked at them, feeling envious. All he must worry about is not getting lost and getting fed. What a life! To spend each day playing, sleeping and exploring the roof. Who wouldn’t want to reincarnate as a beloved pet? Imagine if you were a dog: you would spend each day fetching balls, eating, hanging out…doesn’t life look good especially when work is getting frustrating?
Maybe I could come back as a goldfish, although I might find that mind-numbing. But then again, maybe goldfish only have simple needs and are perfectly content to be swimming around in a tank. The same could probably be said for a turtle.
What about a pet bird? No, that might not be fun. Imagine how frustrating it must be copped up in a cage all day when you could be flying around out in the open. On the other hand, the one advantage a pet bird has over a free one is that the pet bird doesn’t have to worry about food. The same could easily apply to gerbils, rabbits, snakes and ferrets.
Still, when times are stressful one can’t help but wish they were someone’s beloved, pampered pet. Which one would you like to be?
