Do you want me to sit in the corner and rust, or just fall apart where I'm standing?

You're right, it's my fault! But it's so lovely, it's a good thing you kept it!

My avatar is the result of me falling in love with the cuddly, furry, lovable little snow leopard I found on this site . I always have cat's as my avatar, because Cat is my name and it was an easy theme to adopt I've had about 5 avatars in the last 7 months, and I chose them all to fit my general mood (lazy, happy, artsy). I'm about to change this one because I just don't feel as energetic as it is!

Avatars give me a quick first impression about a person that can make or break the entire perception I'll ever have of someone. Only once was I repulsed by an avatar, and it happened to belong to someone really despiseable in the end. The rest of the time, avatars will catch my attention positively on people I will like, or that will interest me.
Once the tone is given by an avatar, it can't change, but I will hear a different voice when I read a post written by a member that changed it's avatar. And these days, everyone speaks differently!

Yes, I know. It's not so easy to see - you have look carefully.

I don't think it's a Yorkie, but it is some kind of small terrier. I attached the original so you can see for yourself
I've been studying the photo but it's very difficult to tell with all the clothes in the way. {sniff} {sniff} My guess is a Norwich Terrier.

Thank you

It was something to do with neon sunscreen and VCat's homepage decor at the time.

The image is based on a patch, which - despite it looking almost nothing like me at all - people keep thinking represents me. I must have subconciously agreed with them, because it seems to have become my default all over the place now.

(Although at the moment I'm a grumpy pagan, and the only thing even vaguely tribal is a tattoo on my shoulder)

Nah, I mostly think "where did she get ahold of that outrageous greenish-yellow haircolour??!??"

I'll always love that first lazy sprawled out cat you had. kindlekitten actually does that fairly often but as she is black and my bed clothes and couch are maroon, it is hard to get a shot of her in the act
