If "you were a cat"... Chances are you -wouldn't- have a nice life, aside from the one month pouncing around as a kitten..

If you were lucky, you would be a stray and have a life expectancy of 5 years.. If you were unlucky, you would be the victim of a young death on the streets due to roadkill or some punk kids throwing rocks.. or end up in china as a stir fry. Hell, even if you -did- end up as someones pet, what percent of people are even competent enough to properly care for an animal?.. Most of them are never let out of the house and have shit diets, resulting in the same diseases like diabetes as their owners..
