idk just a random scenario stuck in my head

  • You retain all intelligence.
  • You must have confirmation yourself that your message reached the president.
  • You can’t pick human as your animal.
  • The president as referring to Joe Biden. Other country presidents are accepted though.

    Parrot, probably the African Grey. Because you can talk. Being a talking bird with a heck of a vocabulary asking to get a message to the president is probably going to get the White House social media office’s attention, and maybe then the president.

    Kinda cheating, but that would probably work.

    I’d become a loving purring cat and would look for a household that would treat me like I treat my cats right now. They’re the 1% of the animal kingdom, might as well get the animal life I won’t ever get as a human. Not even trying once to do the president quest.

    I’d be the President’s dog. And then I’d just need to get their attention at that point, so I’ll keep biting his secret service agents until finally they start to wonder what’s up. It shouldn’t take more than 3 or 4 bites for people to realize I’m trying to send a message, right?

    Dog. Go around being surprisingly helpful to people, become famous, visit President, write message very clumsily with a pencil in my mouth, sell rights to movie, profit.

      Couldn’t you just draw in the sand with a stick? I think if there’s an ape who’s fluent in English handwriting that would make it to the news pretty fast.

    My country’s president is clearly heading towards dementia. I’d be a crow, they can just speak, so I’d simply fly to him and tell him. He’d probably believe me, no questions asked.

    Whatever primate would have enough hand coordination to write, and/or use sign language. “We found a monkey that can communicate in perfect English, and is asking to speak to the President” is bound to make big headlines.

    I’m turning into a red panda, forgetting all about the president, and living my best life: eating fruit, lazing about, getting tons of cuddles for being cute and smart 🙂

      Plot twist: You don’t live in a zoo or as a pet. You are in the wild forests of South West China that are being logged. You run for your life as your habitat is being destroyed.

    • Does the president have to understand the message, or just receive it?

    • Do I know how to use the animal’s skills (e.g. flying) instinctively without learning?

    • Is my fight or flight response the same as for human me, or do I inherit that from the animal also? (E.g. as a cat am I terrified of dogs?)

    I think if a bald eagle showed up at an oval office window and started tapping Morse code on the glass it would get attention if not headlines.
