“Most of the time I wish I were a bird or something.”
You are like my grandmother. She always wanted to be a bird, so she could just flap her wings and fly home, or a dog, so she could just shake herself off after the rain.
Sadly for this thread she didn’t have much use for cats.
We were with my mom a few years ago as she was dieing. Going through the old photo albums and she remembered everything (at 93).
One photo had her as a teen holding a kitten. One of my daughters said how cute a photo it was.
“Yes - I always liked kittens. I never liked cats though.”
(We sort of let that one drop - wondering to ourselves how that worked!?)
