If you were an animal, which one would you be closer to based on

[Hotteok]

your looks or personality and why?

 

Ok, let's be totally honest with ourselves and don't either underestimate or overestimate ourselves.. :-)

 

I'd see myself as either a rabbit or a cat... 

I used to be a wild rabbit or a wild cat (still pretty docile)..

But now I'm just a rabbit or a cat.. 

Aging has a domesticating effect on me.

a rabbit or cat has very short life span, it is around 7 years if i'm not mistaken

unless you could live for seven times (myth).

Giving thought to this. The more we learn about Jehovah’s creation, the more we don’t know. There are reports of animals you’d never expect to show memory, and appreciation for help given them. 

Inside, I’m a cat person. Outside, it’s the dogs and birds. 

If I could be something for a bit, then go back to being me, it would be a bird. A Red-tail Hawk. I see them circling in the sky above me, and love to hear their call. Just to be able to soar in that blue sky...

Cats can live a long time. The average lifespan of a cat is about 15 years, so they often outlive most of our pet dogs.

My toy Manchester/chihuahua lived to a ripe old age of 17. I had her put down because of cancer. I didn't want her to suffer a minute longer. If only I had fed her home-cooked food and had been a full-time FurMum, she would have lived longer. She also had cataracts in one eye and lost the other eye because my autistic husband neglected to take her to the vet while I was in Yangon for 8 days. : _ (

She was still standing tall on all fours when we took her to be euthanised at a private hospital at 4 am. 

Forever wracked with guilt. My Immortal Beloved. Woof

The average lifespan of a cat is much shorter than the average lifespan of a human.  A house cat has a longer average lifespan of 12 to 18 years. But most cat which live in the wild would likely live only half of that.

Wow, Brother Timothy. Loved your new avatar. So in keeping with your gung ho attitude. 

Good job. For scrabbling up all sorts of thought-provoking subjects for us to rack our brains with. Hope you don't mind me using some animal-related terms on this thread. Gotta have some excuse to butcher up the language.

I've always felt a kinship with a fox.

 

Extroverted and warm being a canine, but has feline qualities too and can at times be a loner and express introverted qualities, thoug not being truly introverted at heart like a cat would be. And unlike the typical canine, is not just blatantly dumb, happy and loud, but foxes have more of a "wit" to them.

Kangaroo...based on inbuilt shopping bag, otherwise they charge us 15 cents for a plastic bag ..so calculating on "jumps" to the local supermarket I would be better off as a kangaroo LOL

I've always liked a fox, never seen it in person, though.

In the NW, I hope to pat it without my fingers being in the risk of getting bitten off.

That fox looks cunning and evil

In 1959, a Soviet geneticist named Dmitry K. Belyaev began somewhat secretively experimenting with breeding domesticated foxes. More than five decades, thousands of foxes, and one collapse of the Soviet Union later, the program continues at The Institute of Cytology and Genetics at Novosibirsk, Siberia. Belyaev wanted to unlock the secrets of domestication, the links between behavior and breeding and physical traits, but plenty of non-scientists are aware of the project for a different reason: foxes are adorable and we want to hug them and we want them to like it.

But domesticated foxes, which can only be found at that Siberian facility, are not horrible pets. They're a little unconventional, and they require a little bit of extra attention, but if you want a pet fox, you can have a pet fox. All you need is $8,000 and the approval of Kay Fedewa, the exclusive importer of domesticated foxes in the US.

I'd say he looks more suave, could be cultural observation differences though!

We have them in my area, sometimes, rarely though, they are seen walking in the street at night. Thye typically stick to the woods.

I would definitely be a cat 

Cats have a mind on their own, they never fool you about their current feelings.

It´s the same with me. You can ALWAYS tell how I feel, because I can´t pretend the opposite.
