That cat somehow gave me an image of an evil cat demon.

Demon? Hardly. That cat is clearly a shady feline criminal mastermind and underworld 'controller'.

nice extended dewclaw there. I for one welcome our feline overloards...

yeah, natural selection is an ongoing process, why should primates be the only ones to adapt to apposable gripping surfaces.

Why is the cat in the last pic called "The Furry Slug"? It can't be because it just lies around and does nothing all day - All cats do that! :lol:

Growing up, I had a cat that had opposing thumbs on each forepaw, and the last 1/2 inch or so of her tail was split too. Yeah she was a genetic freak, course having her mother sleep over a test bed CT scanner while pregnant had nothing to do with it.

He's particularly sluggish.

Actually, he's quite a bit thinner than he used to be, be has the whole "Fat Bastard post-subway diet" look to him.

Are these felines new to the Lonestar household or did you have them when you were in the Navy?

Don't worry they will keep us along as slaves for a while at least, after all, they don't yet have money to buy the canned food.

I'm all for it, but obviously my graphic skills suck.

Yeah, my wife's last cat had the same deal. How he ended up named 'Ash' instead of 'Mittens' is beyond me. As cats go, he wasn't that bad, to bad he took off and became MIA. I prefer him to my wife's current piece of fuzzy shit.

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red
