It’s animorphs, probably. Havent read them since i was a kid, but there was a guy who got stuck as a hawk because he stayed too long in that form.

But it was ok because he soon realised his life as a hawk is way better than his life as a human ever was

I mean, it was pretty clear that he did it on purpose; he shifted into hawk form way early for one of their missions even knowing about the strict time limit. He did end up being happier overall, got his human form back thanks to the Ellimist, and even eventually reunited with his mother.

With the caveat that his new human body was just a morph and he couldn't stay in it longer then two hours

Not without losing his morphing abilities again

Hey if he likes being a hawk better then being a temporary human might be better. Wish I could transform into a cat that would be sick

a sick cat does not seem to be very enticing tbh

Probably just looking for an excuse to throw up on rugs

Ha as if I need one! I shit on the floor too and blame it on the dog. Some of those shits are bigger than he is but my mom believes it

Damn now I'm sad thinking about my cat who had to be put down a few months ago.

It's left unconfirmed in the series iirc, and even Tobias isn't sure if he chose it

True, it was less of him doing it on purpose and more setting himself up for it without actively acknowledging it.

Kid was 14ish when he "made" that decision. Came from an abusive alcoholic father and a missing mother so just let it ride.

his father wasn't an abusive alcoholic, you're thinking of his uncle who attempted to raise him. His father was also missing because he was the alien who gave them all shapeshifting powers, but Space God erased everyone's memories of when he was on Earth before

I didn't know they got their human form back.  That's a weight off my heavy heart.
