Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

Well admittingly in my childhood/teenage years I used to love to over indulge and eat a lot. Therefore I would call myself a pig and this would be agreed upon by those around me. I never had the greatest eating habits growing up and at 36 years old, I still don’t. Now that I’m a full grown adult, while I still consider myself to have pig like habits, I see myself as a cat or a dog. Particularly a kitten or a puppy. My mother currently has two cats and I love seeing them because they remind me of when I was growing up. They are absolutely attached to mom, (I guess they learn from the best because I am too,) and I’ve also always wondered what goes through the minds of cats and dogs and what they would say if they were able to speak, what it means when they do certain things and whether or not they see mom the same way I do…as a mother of course. I wonder if they recognize mom as their mother if they were humans and maybe me as a big brother, my stepfather as their birth father, ETC.

Basically, I would want to be a cat or a dog if I had to choose which animal to be other than a human. They are loyal pets and have been to me and my family over the years. I love both of these animals so I would in turn love to be one of them.
