What's with the cat-mania ?

I know there's lots of people who love cats and dogs, but this is ridiculous ! It seems like every third or fourth avatar here is a feline photo. I've seen cat avatars on forums before, but not in these numbers ! It's like this whole forum has gone to the cats. What the miau is with all these pussy-lovers ?
Do you think there's a correlation between the love for reading and the love for furry long-whiskered felines ?

P.S.
I just love my new [whatever it is] - on mouseover it now says "Enkidu of Abydos could sell banana peel slippers to a Deveel." Not just because it's a nice joke but because I'm so glad to see someone else has read Asprin's Myth series... Totally underappreciated IMHO.

I've thought about that and my guess is that you are correct E of A. Also chickens and monkeys.

We are, as a group, pet lovers. And it seems the most popular pets (as seen in previous polls here) are cats. There is the occasional dog, ferret, turtle, iguana, bird, and fish, etc., but mostly... cats.

EoA it's only a subtle image-campain against the widespread belief reading isn't sexy
Thus this showoff what of a marvelous bunch of sweet pussies and pheromone-loaden tomcats bookreaders are.

We wanted to make more people reading books, and the guy from the marketing said "Sex sells."

In the case of pheromones, sex smells

I've never used a critter for an avatar, never really about thought it, but I think most people pick an avatar to give a feel for their personality. I don't define myself by my pet, but a lot of other people do and thats not a bad thing

Well, what else to use? Not being female, I can't really use sleazy pin-up art...

That actually led me to just turn it off, it seemed like every other female here had one. I mean, geeze, no one cares you are female and on the internet. Okay, that's not true, it works. But I just can't stand people who want attention drawn to themselves like that...

My sister-in-law asked me to trim her Schitzu (however you spell it) but it was that same time I realised the clippers were blunt and didn't work. I handed her dog back with the front half clipped and the arse end long. It was a mess of enormous proportions and when she took the dog to the parlor to be fixed by the gay guys there was huge laughter which embarrassed her no end.

I saw someone that shaved a checkerboard pattern in they dog, I'll have to see if I can find it again. I did shave a cat once, but the stitches weren't worth it

Dogs don't care. Just look at how they shave poodles. If a poodle had an ounce of dignity they would scratch like a cat before being given a haircut like that.
Edit: there you go. You prove my point. Just hide the mirror from them for a while.

By the way. Cat Lovers.... it's your turn to send us some painted cat pictures.

So true, I think theres something very interesting when caretakers try to change the look of their peta, without hurting them of course
