Catwoman Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 OK, so I know I've needed an avatar for years, but it didn't seem like a big deal until I started showing up as that creepy white silhouette thing. :ack2: :ack2: :ack2: And it didn't even look like me. Well, not much, anyway. So I decided to celebrate my 10,000th post to the forums with a brand spanking new avatar. It's not actually me, it's my cat. (I figured that if I didn't clear that up, you probably would have assumed it was me, what with the whole CATwoman thing and all.) His name is Mr. Cat. No, I'm not kidding. It really is Mr. Cat. I hope you like him. :) (And I hope I did the avatar thing right.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf had a cat like that when we were first married. It hated me, since it wasn't allowed in the bedroom anymore. It was when it started attacking Tazzie, who was a toddler, knocking him to the ground and clawing his face that kitty went buh bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 His name is Mr. Cat. No, I'm not kidding. It really is Mr. Cat. I hope you like him. :) It's the perfect avatar for you. As for the name, I've had a cat named Kitty, and one named E.C., which stood for Extra Cat. We had 2 cats and didn't want another. When we found him in a parking lot, we tried to find a home for him. We couldn't find anyone to take him, so he became our extra cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Newmar always looked amazing, and she was so statuesque! (Now she looks sort of oddly plastic, but hey, she's in her 70's now, so as far as I'm concerned, she can do whatever she wants!)

jewellsmommy Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I wonder if it is the Mr. that makes a cat turn evil. Hmm. We have a Mr. Meowgie, and he is quite difficult. He weighs 17 lbs and fakes seizures if you try to put him on a diet food. I'm convinced that he is faking, anyway. The vet doesn't seem to understand just how manipulative this cat is! He bites your toes if you don't give him what he wants. He knocks stuff off of counters and tables just because he can. The moment a child walks away from their cup of water, it is sent flying to the floor. Seriously, I had to buy cups with lids because of a cat. He gets very huffy if you walk too close his 'bubble' or step over him even though he plops his snarky butt right in the middle of your path. He has tried to kill me on the stairs numerous times. Our non-Mr cats (McCoy and Spock) are sweet and will love on you. It must be the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, it isn't the "Mr." that turns them evil -- we have a female cat who hates cats and pretty much every other living thing except our family. I used to speculate that she was Sith, but she's too dumb for that. We, too, had a cat who would fake illness to get better food. He had been sick with something that gave this awful laryngitis-like meow, and whenever I heard him I felt so sorry for him that I'd give him a treat. After he recovered, he would still wander into the kitchen and fake the "sick meow", hoping for a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
