Has anyone wished to be born as a cat, puppy, dolphin? Well I have! Because I feel that if I were an animal like that, things could be easier. Maybe even more fun. No worries like how the humans have. Just worry of looking for food only!

I know how it feels to want to be "anything but." Interestingly enough, even less social animals like tigers have to deal with social issues such as territory disputes. Life is just as complex in many ways for them. Possibly, being an amoeba or other simple organism might bring the simplicity of only looking for food. Even then, they have to avoid predators. I'm not sure I'd want to experience being an amoeba for a day.

I would like to experience life as a grizzly bear for a couple of days or a week. And I would like to swim in the ocean as a dolphin or whale, for a couple of days or a week. Etc.

I think you are overlooking the many downfalls of not being human.

Sometimes, particularly a cat or a horse. If I had to be a marine creature I'd pick dolphin and bird I'd go w/ penguin :D

Definitely a cat. Sleeping a lot wherever you feel like it, stretching out in front of a warm fire, climbing on roofs etc.
