Everybody Wants to Be a Cat

"Everybody wants to be a cat."

Hmmm, I love Disney, but I don't know about that line from "Aristocats."

I mean, cats are pretty awesome, sure. But I would maybe rather be something else - just don't ask me what. ^^'

Maybe part of my problem is I've never had a cat. As a little kid, I remember being in the same room as my grandparents' cat was way too close for comfort. However, my fear of them did kind of vanish.

I'm not sure how that happened really; I just remember that my neighbors had a shed that housed about four or five cats, and I followed my neighbor in and our of that shed without hesitation.

Anyways, my conquered fear aside, what animal might I want to be? A dog, maybe? I really do envy my own dog's lazy schedule. The worst he has to worry about is "Will I get my walk tonight?" and "Will Daddy be angry if I wake him up for the fifth time tonight because I want to drink my water outside even though I have water inside?"

Hmmm, or maybe I'd rather be a creature with wings. How awesome would that be, flying everywhere? Sadly, a pet bird would probably have clipped wings, and I don't know if I'd feel safe as a wild bird. Butterflies are gorgeous creatures, but I wonder if the chrysalis state would hurt...? Plus kids love catching them. Hmmm. =/

Anyways, I don't know what animal I would want to be. I just think that maybe the being a cat thing wouldn't necessarily be for me. Sorry, Mr. O'Malley Cat.
