Which animal (besides humans) do you think has the best, most relaxing life?

Im inclined to say the manatee, floating around in clear, turkoise blue waters of the tropics, eating grass off the shallow floor while the sun beats down through the cool water onto their backs, warming them.

Maybe a koala, which i must be related to based on how much i sleep.

Got deep.


I'd have to say a cat. You can get to pretty much any place in the house that you set your mind to, food is free, house is free, and also cats are just fucking cool.

Koala bears. They get high off bamboo and lay in trees all day.

Has to be this. Problem with any wild animal is that they have to worry about both getting food and being hunted or killed by other wild animals. House pets don't have to worry about shit.

for those who said house pets, I feel like theyre living our lives more than lives of their own....

I think manatees, orangutangs, and sloths are my my top 3, possibly chameleons

House cats. No danger, automatically refilling food and water dishes, consistent temperature, and plenty of soft shit to lay on.

Aside from house cats...sea otters. They float on seaweed and hold hands while sleeping so they don't float apart. River otters are lazier but sea otters are cuter.

Barn owl if we are taking house pets out of the equation. Basicly all they have to do is wait in a barn or tree and snipe what ever the fuck they want. Its super easy for them to get prey. No noise in flight what so ever with no other predators trying to get them.

Spider monkey, swinging through trees all day with your homies would be sick. Sloth, koala, and manatee come to mind to.

House cat. No predators, the owners love you (hopefully) and you sleep for around 16 - 20 hours a day.

The yellow bellied marmot. Unless they live at big sky in which case they have to be on the lookout for angry lift mechanics wielding pellet guns, rebar, ski poles and shovels and have that bloodthirsty look in their eye.

But really those fat little fucks sleep for 8 months and then wake up and spend all summer eating, fucking, sunbathing and shitting in lift motor rooms and snowcats.
