Would you rather be a cat or a dog?

I'd rather be a cat for sure. Dogs are so limited to the ground and can get stopped by little fences but cats can climb and go anywhere. They have immense freedom.

How about you?

As it seems more interesting. But part of that is anthropomorphic. Am I still me, or not? Or I am just ... a cat or dog?

Dogs seem happy a lot more of the time, so if I'm *thinking/feeling* like a dog or cat all the time, I probably pick dog.
