Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

Daily writing prompt
Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

A cat. Probably a house cat, like my Salem in the above picture.

He thinks he’s Puss in Boots as you can see by the way he’s posing with that dagger. (Don’t worry, it’s just a letter opener. The only sharp objects I let him play with are his claws).

I don’t talk much unless I have something to say. I like my creature comforts, and I beg for treats just like he does. (Just kidding.) Or am I?

I like to watch the birds in the back yard. Some of them have gotten to know me, a pair of geese and three crows. I go out in the yard now with a chunk of bread in my pocket–I kid you not–because they follow me around expecting a hand out and get disappointed if I’m not carrying one.

As usual I’ve gotten off topic… My brain works like a knotted ball of string. Another way I’m like a cat, because cats play with string.

Yeah, okay, now I’m reaching. 🤭

  1. I would compare myself to a cat too if I was doing this prompt.

    Yes. When you go regular to meet and feed birds, they will next time look for more food. I have noticed that with how the birds behave on a res I visit. They really are expecting food from you when you walk by.

  5. I also choose a cat! Though I would like a panther, my black kitty Ajax is my inspiration. Love him so much!

    My cat thinks is he’s a panther, and a swordsman, and the next president. Haha

  7. LMAO, mine too. He’s very opinionated and isn’t scared to tell me to back off when I’m giving him too many kitty kisses and snuggles. 😦

  9. Although he is almost 10 human years old so I guess it makes sense. He’s definitely not changing at this point

    What are cat years? Is it seven for every year like dogs. My cat’s probably middle aged. 40ish

  13. Dang! Middle age is rough for kitties. Ajax has gotten lazy and has a tummy now.

  15. Ajax has his moments, but he tends to just chill nowadays. He needs some cool sunglasses or something lol. Our new cat Pinky is cray cray! Always running around causing mayhem.

  18. You have good taste in animals. We have two female black cats. They are cuddly but fierce. I got a small dead mouse as a gift yesterday. They play to win.

  25. I’m just like a happy bunny, you know? My nose is like a little detective, always sniffing out the yummy secrets cooking up in our kitchen. Even from outside, I can catch the delicious smells wafting through the air. My sister laughs and calls me “Bugs Bunny” because of it, but it’s all in good fun. Bugs Bunny is this super cool ,😎😌 funny rabbit from cartoons who’s always getting into adventures and making everyone laugh with his big ears and clever tricks. Just like me, sniffing out all the yummy goodness in our kitchen!
