I would be a cat because I'm proud, independent and of course cute. I am lazy by nature but when required I'll go outdoors and hunt almost better than a tiger would at it's best. I purr for the most of the time but in case hectored, you will have scratches all over you. I'd have a black, delicate fur and a good appetite.
I don't know that I identify with any one animal. I do know that I'd love to be reincarnated as a squirrel. Leaping from tree to tree, scrambling about for nuts, care free... yeah, that sounds nice.
