Oh to be a cat

To live in a world with no responsibilities. Cats don't have to worry about how they are going to pay their bills. They don't need to be concerned with the economy or what to have for dinner since they have the same thing everyday. No need to be concerned about a retirement plan or how you're going to be able to afford sending your kittens to college. I mean, all cats do is eat and sleep. I love to do both of those things. Cats have the amazing ability to take a 2 hour nap, stretch, walk across the room and fall back asleep. Humans who act like this we call narcoleptic and put them on medication (or kids tv shows. Say "Wiggles" everybody!). Cats don't feel the need to be fake or pretend to be something they aren't. If they don't like you, they avoid you or hiss and claw your face off. They don't worry about sparing anyone's feelings. The biggest concern a cat encounters is where to take their nap. A nice sunbeam can be an afternoon of adventure. They also have legal drugs called cat crack or catnip by it's more traditional name.

Cats also love to play, when they're awake anyway. Cats can turn a milk ring or a feather into the greatest toy ever invented. I once scared my cat so much that it jumped straight up in the air and then changed direction. It looked like it was radio controlled. I would love to be able to jump over a hedge or a fence on a single leap. To have the ability to always land on your feet. I'm not so fond of mice so I'd have to live in a clean home. Also, cats keep themselves well groomed which reminds me of the hairballs. Disgusting. Ok, maybe this plan has its drawbacks as well.
