just wondering...since the MS3 is a sports car, and since most sport car owners are manly men, what's up w/ all the cat avatars? aren't guys supposed to be into dogs & women into cats?

not casting disparaging remarks about felines, since i'm a cat person myself, just thought it was...peculiar?

meow to ya'll! [where's a kitty smilie when you need one?]
 
I just thought the picture was funny... I used at one of my old jobs for a joke advertising scheme... "Buy our services or the cute little kitten gets it!!"

When you spend all your time outside either shopping for cool stuff for your car, working on it, or driving it, you need a pet that can be left alone inside for long periods of time. Either that or a fenced in backyard and a doggie door. :)
 
My guess is that most of the married guys with cat avatars came to an agreement with their wives that in order to spend money on cars, they would have to spend quality time with the pussy...


I suppose they misinterpreted what that means...

Have to be nice to all of them or you don't get to play with all of them.

(How long until these two get deleted?)
 
Cat's are cool. They're not in your face all the time demanding your attention. Well, most of them aren't.

Well you haven't met mine. On the back of the couch over your shoulder like a parrot. Chewing on your hair, sticking his paws in your ears and then stabbing you with his nails. All this after shredding my couch as though it was his personal scratching post. Oh yes the joys of owning a cat.

At least my dogs listen to me. (angel)
 
I just don't "get" cats. Or cat people. In fact, I basically dislike cats.

My user name/avatar obviously come from the old "Bloom County" comic strip. Bill The Cat was one cat I could respect.

If you don't know "Bloom County," it's easy enough to Google it up. The same core characters (Bill, Opus, Steve Dallas) also appeared in the Sunday-only "Outland" and later "Opus."

Someone posted the one animated special they produced one Christmas, called "A Wish for Wings That Work," on YouTube, in several segments, too. The animated deal was not all that impressive, but the first few years of Bloom County were hysterical. I highly recommend the paperback "Bloom County Babyon: Five Years of Basic Naughtiness" if you want a good laugh. (Large format paperback, so be aware)

Oh, my avatar is cut from the Sunday strip that was voted favorite of all-time by Berkeley Breathed's fans. I actually cut that strip out of the Sunday paper back when & still have it. The punch line to the strip explains my avatar.
