What Pet Would You Be?

tags: ,

I actually could be either of two pet types (the second pet type is below the fold);

You Would Be a Pet Bird

You're intelligent and witty, yet surprisingly low maintenance.
You charm people easily, and they usually love you a lot more than you love them.
You resent anyone who tries to own or control you. You refuse to be fenced in.

Why you would make a great pet: You're very smart and entertaining

Why you would make a bad pet: You're not interested in being anyone's pet!

What you would love about being a bird: Flying, obviously

What you would hate about being a bird: Being caged

When I change one answer, I end up being a cat instead.

You Would Be a Pet Cat

Independent and aloof, you don't like to be dependent on anyone.
And as for other people, you can take them or leave them. You often don't care.
You live your life by your own rules. And you have deep motivations that no one truly understands.

Why you would make a great pet: You're not needy or greedy... unlike other four legged friends.

Why you would make a bad pet: You're not exactly running down to greet people at the door

What you would love about being a cat: Agility and freedom

What you would hate about being a cat: Being treated like a dog by clueless humans

Their writer clearly never met my cat, who greets me at the door, and complains when I don't pet her enough. She's also housebound and overweight (17 pounds), so scratch freedom and agility too.

I agree about the mis-representation of cats. My cat (well I say "may", but you know what I mean) greets me whenever I come in after work.

Oh wait, that's because it's feeding time.

Bob
P.S. I'm a fish too. I guess that's why I'm called "Bob".

Heh, I got Cat, then (with a one-question change) Fish. I wonder how many pets they have... rabbit? ferret? gerbil?

this online poll has me thinking that a great essay (meaning; lots of traffic) would have something to do with cats and dogs. not going to explicitly say what i am thinking of yet ..

I'm a fish. I did the poll a few times when I could have picked two answers, but it always came up as a pet fish.

The result is interesting because I have an undergraduate degree in marine biology.

You Would Be a Pet Cat.

Change one of the answers I had to think about and I became a Bird.

You Would Be a Pet Fish

Relaxed and laid back, you prefer to sit back and observe what's going on around you.
You are secretly very wise and intelligent, but few people take the time to learn about you.
You don't mind if the world doesn't understand you. You're having enough fun trying to understand the world.

Why you would make a great pet: You're peaceful and nice to be around, but not very demanding

Why you would make a bad pet: Let's face it... the only person you're truly interesting to is yourself

What you would love about being a fish: Swimming around aimlessly without a care in the world

Ok. Now tell me how they know so much from five stupid questions?? I'm freaking out here
