A spell that gives freewill to animals or other 2nd-density beings: TRUCENDUM

[Jade]

Interaction with a mirror is an interesting tool to gauge a pet's self-consciousness.

In addition, I think most pets probably *are* yellow-ray activated, or at least extremely close, which is why they incarnated into a pet and not a coyote or a squirrel. The amount of "extra" dogs/cats that get killed every single day in shelters just shows the amount of late 2D entities begging for an opportunity for human investment. I think when you rely on a 3D being for survival, you can't help but be consciously learning from them to a point where self-awareness becomes undeniable.

I also do think that some animals might return to 2D bodies/incarnations to help lighten the load, so to speak, just as we return to 3D as wanderers to do the same. I mean, if I can bring just a small fraction of the planetary joy that Grumpy Cat and Shibe doge have given to us all, then I think everything is going to be okay.
