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.

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.

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.

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.

Probably the most fun would be (a tribute to SCUMM): use Frying Pan with Bino's Head

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

i am in full agreement with you......in real life....to lose all of my intelligence, memory's, and morality just to be a dog im going to go with no.

but to be in the housepet i would lose non of that! so its an obvious choice...

I'd stay human myself.

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.

I doubt a dragon would be an option considering the only one is pretty much a deity.

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.

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)

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.

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 :/.

I'm not sure anyone here would say no if it were temporary!

I would... I'd rather be human really...

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.

Nah, I'll just stick to being myself...
