We all have a "spirit animal," or so dictates almost every impromptu get-to-know-you game. Mine, clearly, is a cat. Sweet James recently came upon the notion that I am more specifically a cat princess, but that's just semantics. All cats are royalty, duh.
The following reasons prove that being a cat would be the best (illustrated in photos provided by "
Emergency Kittens.")
1. You get to nap whenever and wherever you want. One of my favorite things while I was studying abroad was this giant Garfield-looking cat that would sleep in the most unusual places. He even had his own blog posts as part of the Island School blog entitled, "Fritter Sleeping Places." (Bonus: People might even blog about you if you are a cat.)

2. Being a cat allows you to be both an introvert and an extrovert at your own will. When you want to be around people, hog all the attention and be a chatter box, you totally can be. And humans will flock to you because it was the first time they had seen you out of hiding in weeks. In contrast, once you're sick of the humans, you can once again retreat.

3. People will post pictures of you on the Internet, and even if they are unflattering, people will still be in love with this photo of you. Need I go further?

4. You can be grumpy, or what is often called having a constant b**** face, and people will still love you. Grumpy Cat once agains proves my point.

5. People just feed you. You don't have to do anything to receive it except meow loudly at your human's feet, the edge of their bed or at the closed door until they listen. All reward, no work.

6. You can wear any costume you want and no one will think you look silly, but adorable.

7. Finally, because cats have such flexible bodies, yoga becomes much easier.

I'm currently working toward a solution to be able to become a cat, I'll let you know if I get anything. For now, I will just continue to act as if I am a cat and a human at the same time. (Please don't stop reading my blog because I like cats).
