I wouldn't accept the offer. Life would be a lot more boring if it were perfect, and I think most of my books would become meaningless to me in that life.

I mean, cat videos are already popular on YouTube as it is. If they can narrate what they are doing, I'll just get more money.

Luna isn't an alien, she's a magical cat.

A magical cat is still alien to a world of normality, ergo, one could still consider it an alien.

I don't accept any offers from magical cats. I might suddenly turn into a fat mouse with comically short legs and a bell around my neck, in a 4D maze populated by playful cats.

Assuming that this cat is telling the truth, I would accept purely out of the possibility of several loopholes. If there were no way out of such simulation, however, I may decline.

I wouldn't. It seems like my humanity would be stripped away. I seek no pleasure, I seek to help those around me and work hard to achieve what I need, unless this cat can sell me some product to improve my work ethic then i'd take it

The current version of the Matrix is working fine, with 99% of humans accepting the existance. The first attempt was a perfect world and it was a failure because the human mind wouldn't accept perfection in life.

This also reminds me of RockPaperShotgun's review of hardcore Minecraft survival mods saying - "If you don't download these mods then you'll lose your opportunity to die cold and alone".
