I wish I were a cat
content and proud
At peace with the world
I wish I were as wise and see
There's more to life
than meets the eye
I wish I were a cat
who's seen it all
And knows exactly
how the big ball rolls
I wish I were a cat
(If I ever come back!)

I know some cats who've really got it made! And some dogs too for that matter. I think I would take almost any position that were made available, if I couldn't come back as a human. You should see my dog trying to fathom the use of toilet paper in the bathroom. One day I was wiping my nose and I leaned down and wiped his with it instead! His eyes opened with understanding! Suddenly, was a Helen Keller with Teacher moment! lol
Oh my gosh, you've pinned it down so well! ! How often I think that I'd like to come back as a cat! hahahahaha

The last line is really good. I think that cats might be living a second life and have seen it all. Maybe, that's why they sleep so much. But they can become very curious at times. Of course, maybe we humans are just too boring most of the time.
