Do I have any say over conditions aside from species?
If so, a dog in a rich family. One of the more intelligent breeds, possibly a border collie or German shepherd. Seems like a good life; well fed, sheltered, nothing to worry about other than wondering where my owners went/when they’ll be back when they leave the house.
If not, idk, make me a jellyfish or something. No thoughts, just floating mindlessly in the ocean without a care, occasionally getting touched and making them regret it.
If we can do that, then I choose to be reincarnated as my aunt and uncle's dog. He's a Bichon mix that gets to just hang around all day in the southern California sun, eating amazing food (he gets scraps after meals), going on awesome trips around the world and sailing...
The consensus for those in the house pet demographic seem to lean towards dogs over cats. I wonder why that is?
I'm with you but not necessarily rich just loving. Obviously we cant know without living it, but I do think domesticated dogs/cats with loving owners have the best possible lives on earth
