So I'm filling out a job application for a pet shop and one of the questions on the form is;

"If you were to describe yourself as a pet what would you be and why?"

Naturally I chose to blag it and came up with some nonsense about being like a hamster, which I will copy and paste if anyone is intrigued. But its a lie really (shh).

I know I'm a cat. I love sleeping for long periods at a time and prefer to come and go as I please, and give attention really on my terms. I love to play with toys and I will snap at you if I don't like what you're doing.

So yeah, I guess be truthful and say what animal you would be and why?

Or not. Hello.

A falcon with a cap on.

this is actually pretty funny, my mom's best friend Nancy calls me her caterpillar (idk why i never ask).

but if I were to be an animal I would probably be some sort of small dog since I like to bite alot

I took a facebook quiz once and it told me my spirit animal was an otter

Also this is what I put on my application. Look at me with the jokes and seriousness. Wouldn't you hire me? I'd hire me. Also yurg, you owe me one head stroke I believe.

"Probably a hamster. I have the ability to move faster then my structure would probably suggest to other people! Different types of hamsters have different needs when it comes to company. Some need to be kept on their own and others need other hamsters around them. I think this speaks for me a bit as I am content to work on my own, and get on with it when I am required to but also do work well with others when that is expected of me, and like a hamster I am quick to learn when given new challenges. Inquisitive but I won't go all 'gung-ho' until I understand what is ahead of me and how to approach it the best way.

Of course when it comes to my sleep, I can be a bit of a cat!"

That's a stupid animal. You're stupid! You should have picked a better one.

I'd be a flying squirrel because their damned cute and I'd enjoy gliding from tree to tree.

probably a cat because i'm fat and lazy.

Wise man no fuck with man who own knife collection

A wolf

The Red-Tailed Hawk. They've a widespread habitat, are extremely common and protected by laws, mingle very well with humans, and are all-around badass. They're pretty large as far as birds of prey go, but agile. But all those practical reasons trump the main motivation: flying. And hawks don't fly like boring birds do, they soar and dive. Way cooler.

Peregrine Falcon because they're the fastest animals on the planet; either that or Honey Badgers because they just don't give a fuck.

I'd be a water moccasin.

The dreaded water snake!

Just watch out for those wind turbines Evark! :P

Seeing as it says pet, some answers would have to go out the window. If that answer was in any of my application forms, I'd put down budgie but that's mostly because I have two at home and enjoy them a lot in my life.

Cheetah because they're fast.

Homo sapiens. For I control and manipulate my environment.

Just put "I wouldn't, because fuck you"

A mouse, that rides a motorcycle, that is also from mars...

In all seriousness I'd love to be a crow.

"Any animal you can't fit up your arse"

Gagsy makes a thread? Whoa, maybe the world IS ending.

Being a cat would be nice, but despite all of the luxuries, at the end of the day you're still at the mercy of your owner. If I could be any animal, I'd choose to be a bear. Bears get to do pretty much whatever they want. They eat whatever they want, they go wherever they want, they sleep three months out of the year, and anyone that pisses them off is promptly ripped in half. Now that's the kind of life I wouldn't mind having.

A Hercules Beetle because I like to hit people with my horn.

A bald eagle- because they are cool as fuck, strong, and live long (like 25 years)
wolf- because they badass and I love puppies!
human- because of thumbs

Sloth

all my friends have said it

A turtle

Goat

then i can kill people and get away with it

I used to get called 'mole' by my friends in sixth form, on account of me sitting in class sometimes with my parka on, hood right up.

An awesome point to you, sir.

Also.

I'd probably want to be some kind of bird. Just cause birds n shit would be awesome.

Platypus because

A cat. I would find warm cozy places to hide and sleep in and I would receive belly rubs & cuddles if I want it and I can climb on things and be cute
