K – Kitten, the afterlife for me

K – Kitten, the afterlife for me

    Have you ever thought about the afterlife? Does your soul go to another plane of existence, either up or down, or maybe even parallel? Or are you reincarnated as someone else at some future time? My personal preference is that you are given a choice. Kind of like, when you were in college and you might have taken the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator survey to see what type of work you were best suited for. Only in this instance as you are approaching your demise all your life’s information is fed into a supercomputer (real or ethereal) and it determines what the best placement for you in your afterlife is. 

    My result, I’m sure would be to return as a kitten. Think about…

    I’m always curious and want to explore new things. I enjoy being hugged and comforted. I always am on the move. Other than sleeping, I want to get up and go and do lots of things at the same time. I don’t consider myself a morning person nor a night owl, though if something interests me I’m ready to go. I certainly have no aversion to napping, though sleeping 16 hours a day might be a bit much. 

    I do love baking and cooking things at times, but to have an owner that serves me all the time. I could live with that. 

    Occasionally I do get into mischief. But most cat owners I know, just accept mischief as part of being a cat. As a kitten, you get even more leeway. 

    I probably wouldn’t be too keen on licking myself clean all the time instead of taking showers, but on the positive side, your cleaning tools are always with you. 

    And the thing about kittens is that they grow up to be cats, which is cool. I’ll still be able to jump and play and as a cat and you have much more control over your environment and the people you interact with, meaning you’re the boss. You also get to have nine different lives before you have to take the next survey for your future life placement. 

    So that’s where I stand. When it’s my time, there is no need to give me the placement form. It’s pretty clear where I should be placed. 

And if perchance, for whatever reason I don’t qualify as a kitten, PLEASE don’t make me a dog!
