Can Humans be Reincarnated as Pets?
If I am fortunate enough to come back another lifetime as a different species, I want to return as a rich and famous animal lover's pet. I want to be doted upon and spoiled even more than I presently treat our two cats. I think I deserve it. Many of my friends have already requested to come back as one of my pets for this reason.
But herein lays a great dilemma. If I am to come back in my present form to accommodate them, then I am doing double duty. I treat our cats similarly to the lifestyle I want to experience, but of course to a lesser degree. It just isn't fair to make promises to them I am unwilling to keep.
Consider socialite Paris Hilton for example. Her pampered pooches, Marilyn Monroe, Tinkerbelle, Prince, Harajuku Bitch, and Dolce, along with nine other dogs all get to live in the lap of luxury, living in one "fancy schmanzy" dog house, in Beverly Hills. It is a "mini Doggie Mansion". Paris has even added photos of it to her Twitter page. She tweeted, "I may have spoiled them a little too much. But how can I not? Just look at those sweet lil' faces, they deserve to be treated like my lil' prince and princesses :) I love my babies,"
She has replicated her mansion in miniature and decorated it with tiny pieces of furniture, a balcony, a black chandelier, a spiral staircase and has even installed air conditioning to keep her pups comfortable in hot weather. And to add to this high roller life style, Paris has also provided them a stylish wardrobe so her dogs will always be ready for an exciting night on the town. She also gave them "Chewy Vuitton" beds.
So on these hot and humid days I think I will spend some quality time fantasizing about the future and start making a list of those celebrities that have animal loving children who will be about ready to welcome me when the time is right and I somehow manage to make contact with them. I think I had better create a Twitter page of my own and extend my social network to these appropriate "kids".
Do you think I am being unrealistic? Do I want too much? Please leave a comment but try hard not to totally burst my bubble.

Well, I don't know, but my vet once told me that if there is such a ting as reincarnation, she wants to come back as one of my horses. As for me, unless there would be some radical changes, I don't want to come back.

Once around is enough for me. We need to make way for new lives and new beings.

I do not believe in reincarnation, and there are far too many humans on the planet for ANYONE's comfort. I'd be content if the people already here would become personally responsible for, and unconditionally loving toward, all cats.
As for consumerist celebrities, I wish they'd disappear, as they nauseate me.

I've always said that if there is cross-species reincarnation, I want to come back as my mother's dog. Best life ever.
That said, however, I just read a blog entry about a woman trying to stretch one cup of rice to feed her family of four their only meal of the day. Thinking about that, pampered pets seem pretty silly.

i think my cat pharoah is a reincarnation of my grandfather who i saw the day before he died in the hospital, he couldn't talk but when i hugged him he said i love you stephanie, remember that, be strong, i am always with you, always. my cat seems to gravitate towards my father who was my grandfathers son which he was very close to and me, who i was very close to him as well. is it possible that my cat is my grandfather staying to look after me. see my cat follows me around like a little lost puppy, he sleeps with me every night till i fall asleep and goes up to make sure my dad gets home safe and goes to bed, as well my cat wakes me up for school every morning at 6:30 and 7:30 when i have spare. i have never used an alarm clock, he is my alarm clock, he licks my nose to wake me up, and if i don't get up he hits my face with his paw after he licks it so it is wet. my cat actually hurt me tonight, he jumped off my arm and made me bleed and he started to lick the wound to get rid of all the blood, and he hasn't left my side since. it just seems to me to be the caring and loving grandfather who promised he would always be with me. can it be possible that it is him?
