 Re: If you had a chance to become Pet or Housepet universe P
If I were able to become a pet in this Universe? I'd rather stay human to be honest. You have much more freedom being a human and well, you can be anything you want to be really. While yes there's not the stresses of school, work etc., you'd have a lot less freedom where you only really have a eat, sleep, play schedule(Not saying that's bad at all!) but I feel I'd do the world better as a human.
However, a Housepets Universe pet does sound interesting and appealing. I suppose it would depend on the situation overall if I wanted to be one or not. You definitely have a lot more freedom(Well in pet friendly communities at least.), and being able to communicate with both humans and pets does sound much more appealing than our universes' pets. On the plus side, you're effectively living as a child forever too.
Overall, Our Universe, no. Housepets Universe, maybe.

 Re: If you had a chance to become Pet or Housepet universe P
If we're talking IRL pets, then no. Definitely no.
If we're talking Housepets!, then definitely, without hesitation, and again, yes. I'd rather be a dog than a cat if I had the choice.

 Re: If you had a chance to become Pet or Housepet universe P
Pet in this universe ? Eh probably not, The shortened lifespan and not that much to do. But a HP! pet, I'd say yes, as long as I was in Babylon Gardens. I think it would be pretty fun.

 Re: If you had a chance to become Pet or Housepet universe P
No in either case. After all, I'd miss having ten fingers, ten toes, all my given rights, and my current life expectancy. However, I'd love to meet housepets! pets.

You have to figure, though. Those pets are having way more than one human lifetime's worth of crazy fun in one of their short lives.

Being a pet IRL no. In housepets! Yes breaking my current ties with humans would be no big loss.

 Re: If you had a chance to become Pet or Housepet universe P
If being a Dragon is an option, than yes in both worlds. Not like Tarot though, I'd want wings and be able to either walk on all fours or my hind legs. Not real big either. Maybe around a size of a horse or so. Life would be hard, but adventurous. From a child, I've always thought it would be cool to be something like Godzilla, but as I aged I started to like dragons more and more. If that's not an option though, then I'd want to be a husky or german shepherd mix with wolf. But only in the HP world, and only if I could attain all the knowledge I've learned through out the years.
Edit: If I lost my personality, that'd be alright. I can always go for a change. =P But not my knowledge.

 Re: If you had a chance to become Pet or Housepet universe P
I doubt a dragon would be an option considering the only one is pretty much a deity.

 Re: If you had a chance to become Pet or Housepet universe P
Yeah probably.... I don't need the magical powers, just the fire breath=). I could see how being a Pet in the Hp would be fun though. Basically always being a kid, never really any big responsibilities to worry about, but that part where life expectancy is kinda short, I would not like. Also you never really achieve anything which would bother me. Kinda goes back down to, why am I here kind of deal. Still though I'd figure out something.

 Re: If you had a chance to become Pet or Housepet universe P
In real life: No. Not at all. That would be kind of... boring. Plus, how would I finish Final Fantasy IX or play Pikmin 3 when it comes out? I wouldn't be able to do that.
In the HP universe? YES to the power of 99! That would be so much cooler. I would prefer to be a dog, but I could handle being a cat.

 Re: If you had a chance to become Pet or Housepet universe P
I'd have to say yes to being a Housepets! pet. Not too worried about the reduced lifespan as in the HP! universe I could still live up to 40 years, so that's fine by me! I wouldn't have to be in Babylon Gardens, but I'd love to visit at least once (for hugs)

 Re: If you had a chance to become Pet or Housepet universe P
Well considering my cat basically sleeps, eats and adventures all day without having to worry about anything makes me think that being a real pet could be pretty cool.
And well in the Houspets universe it's basically the same thing but, y'know, I could talk and have thumbs and be ridiculously cute so, yeah to both of them.

 Re: If you had a chance to become Pet or Housepet universe P
Hmm, depends. Being a real life pet, count me out. Although it would be cool to just sleep, eat, go adventuring, and have heightened senses, the fact that I'll lose my opposable thumbs, long life, ability to speak, human rights, and overall losing my humanity just seems scary for me(and also for personal reasons). :[
As for being a Housepet! pet, is it temporary or permanent? If permanent, no thanks(again, just 'cause it seems scary). If temporary, maybe I'd like to be a plain ol' corgi because they just seem so nerdy(I'm a nerd). I mean, it'd be sweet to hang out with Peanut and the gang, but I'm not so sure I want to give up my humanity just for that :/.

 Re: If you had a chance to become Pet or Housepet universe P
If I were to just be dropped into the HP! universe, I would be a pet, though for practical reasons.... a pet can just appear with no background and live in society. A human cannot.

 Re: If you had a chance to become Pet or Housepet universe P
Regular cat? Nope. Housepets cat? Without a moment's hesitation.
I don't tend to keep friends for long as I just tend to kinda, drift... And the ones I currently have would technically still know me if I were in the housepets world, They'd just think I was a minor background character in a comic. ^.^
As for my goals and who I am? that wouldn't be an obstacle. I view jobs education and careers an unpleasant chore stealing time from what I actually want to spend my time doing: writing and drawing. Even though I am kinda mediocre at both. So those going away would be a plus. The shorter lifespan doesn't matter when you can cut out the things that force you to completely waste the best years of it on study and paychecks as a human. Bad owner? Okay that might be an issue, but if the cast are anything to go by, the odds of that are slim and there are ways out.
All in all, it would be an improvement.

 Re: If you had a chance to become Pet or Housepet universe P
So far I only saw two examples of bad owners which are Sasha's owner and Joel's father. I'm sure there are more, but you are pretty safe if you stay in Babylon Gardens I would think.

 Re: If you had a chance to become Pet or Housepet universe P
I think I would take the risk of possibly having a bad owner. No responsibilities sounds pretty great right about now. As to whether I would be a cat or a dog, that would be a tough decision.

 Re: If you had a chance to become Pet or Housepet universe P
Cat. Pick a cat. They're MUCH better. Plus, (depending on gender) you could flirt with bino or duchess and claim you 'got that vibe' from them, then grumble about not normally being wrong about that and watch how the other reacts once the rumors spread.  ...What? am I seriously the only one who wants to do that to princess prissy pants?

 Re: If you had a chance to become Pet or Housepet universe P
irl? no way. not in a million years.
but in the hp universe then a reluctant yes, but a lot of it comes down to a couple things.
first off, how long do pets in the hp universe live? i always kind of assumed the lived to be about 70-ish because they are all basically short humans with fur, and the shorter you are does not directly coincide life span in the slightest. but some people headcannon them to live to be about irl pet lifespan, in which case, no.
also, it seems that the society in HP! is constantly changing and at the moment is working for pet's rights. really? i don't want to play games and laze around forever, and getting a job, and despite being a pet having the ability to buy your own house and live kind of like the wolves would be a definite yes. but there is the chance that in the HP! universe for whatever reason that just doesn't happen (which, wouldn't make much sense with the way people like the miltons and the wolves becoming more common, but it's still worth noting) then i'm not so sure.

For most pets in the Housepets! universe, life expectancies are double their our-world equivalents.
