Assuming reincarnation is real, as what would you like to return?

1. a well loved house cat
2. A smart, capable, very popular President of the United States
3. A man, so I could see life from the other side of the gender fence
4. A giant tree in a national forest
5. An eagle, so I can soar high above
6. A dolphin
7. A honey badger
8. A falcon
9. Batman
10. A lion
11. The world’s first trillionaire.
12. A bowl of petunias, several miles above the surface of a planet
13. Cecil

Because… well, he’s Cecil. 'Nuff said.
