Why I Wish I Was A Cat

I am well aware of how stupid the concept sounds. However, the amount of homework, stress with colleges, sports, and lack of time for it all has caused me to look at my cats with envy. Cats don’t have the pressure of “fitting in” or having to wear jeans. They don’t need to worry about makeup or curling their hair. You may claim that women are technically not required to worry about such things. However, putting time into yourself has been strictly enforced by the human society. Cats do not need to shower or shave their legs. They just sleep and stay warm all day with no responsibility and no stress.

When I say “cats,” I am referencing to my cats. My cats are lazy and chubby. They have never been exposed to the outside world. I have a really fat cat, a really goofy cat, and a cat who is extremely cross eyed and has three extra toes on his two front paws. Now, if you categorized people with such traits, it would not be as cute and comical. With cats, if they’re perfect, they’re perfect. If they are demented, goofy, stupid, or fat, they’re even more perfect. There is very little room to be negatively judged.

You may ask why I would’t rather be a dog, or a bird, or something far cooler than a cat. Well, after having done so much school work, sports, and interacting with other people in the course of my life, I would like to do absolutely nothing. Cats do the right amount of “nothing” to suite my desires. They sleep all day, go wherever they want, stay warm, occasionally get up to eat, chase stupid things, then go back to sleep.

As a cat, there would be no experiencing the good things about being a human such as friends, family, and laughing. Perhaps only occasionally being a cat would be a better idea.

I would like to think that if I was not extremely stressed with trying to balance school work, applying to colleges, and sports in the limited time I have to do so, maybe I would be happier. If I did not have to deal with other people backstabbing and being cruel, maybe I wouldn't dislike myself as much.

Cats do not need to know all of the cell parts or the derivatives of functions. They just happily sleep in their warm fuzz without any stress or responsibility. I am not positive if ignorance is bliss, but I would sure like to find out.
