If you had to be reincarnated as either a dog or a cat, which one would you choose? Why?

Answer 1

A cat

They are serene, graceful, intelligent, cool, indifferent, independent. A lot of Dogs are dependant on companionship, I prefer being by myself and self reliant.

Answer 2

Human beings are never born-again, that is

reincarnated into lower life forms.

When a human is born-again he or she,

immediately after death, goes into a women's

womb at the exact point of conception = every-

thing that persons was, their mind, emotions,

memories, experiences, continues life at that

moment of conception! Humans do not become

cats, dogs, insects, alligators, etc.

Lower life forms, ie: cats, dogs, etc. have the

potential of being born-again into a higher life

form such as a human. Human being are rein-

carnated, born-again into a higher or lower

level into the human race.

Study about reincarnation within Buddhism.

As a person learns and practices the Four

Noble Truths, AND The Noble Eightfold Path

their eyes, their mind is enlightened, and

they begin recalling their previous lives.

The reincarnation processes continues for

most people for many lifetimes, until they

through the erradication of all their negative

unwholesome factors (anger, hatred, greed,

impatience, attachments, etc) which takes

place ONLY through observance of The

Four Noble Truths, AND The Noble

Eightfold Path/Mindfulness Meditation, One

reaches the mark, the Goal of Nibbana !!!

Hope this gives you a better understanding

of reincarnation - through a Buddhist Perspec-

tive !

This is a much better alternative than ceasing to exist at death, or going to an hell-fire IF you were not a good enough person, or going to live in heavenly bliss with a god that does not
even exist !!

Happy Holidays to You, and to your Family !!

Answer 3

I'd want to be reincarnated as a Welsh Corgi or one of those adorable little Scottish terriers because they are so cute and loveable, but only if I was in a good home where I would get a lot of affection. Otherwise, I'd want to be a cat because if my owner was mean, I'd scratch the hell out of him and bite him.

Answer 4

A cat. I have seen the hideous mistreatment dogs get at the hands of their "masters". Not all, but a large amount of people abuse their dogs that I know. (and worse, I have these people in my family.) A cat pretty much gives an abusive owner the furry finger and streaks out of harms way.

Answer 5

Someone has a psychology class paper or project...lol.

I would choose to be a dog. They are loyal and loving, protective, faithful and thrive in a loving family or with a good "owner". They add joy to a home and they give of themselves ,unquestioning, asking very little in return. They are pack animals that like company and to belong somewhere and with someone. I would rather be a larger dog with a good bark than a yappy little one unless I was still a puppy of course...

Answer 6

I'm allergic to cats so i say a dog.
Oh, and another perk to being a dog is that finely I will be able to eat my own vomit with out all the judgment associated with it by humans.

Answer 7

A cat because dogs are the wh*res of the animal kingdom and they seem to have an affinity for eating sh*t.

Answer 8

i was gonna pick a cat but i ll go with a black panter.black cuz it reminds me to darkness or night panter cuz its close to a cat just a ...little stronger eeheheh and cuz its elegant and beautiful independent animal.and i love how they move

Answer 9

Obvious!
A cat - because it has 9 lives!
So, technically I could come back 9 times instead of once. HAHA!

Answer 10

a dog, because they get more attention than cats
