Oh dear, it's an animated avatar isn't it... :?

Everytime an animated avatar is used on a message board, a baby angel dies of cancer. The bad kind of cancer. The one with growths and things.

This is where we have a possible conflict of rules (or maybe just guidlines!) - poons' avatar is only 7k, so only just over twice the size of yours or mine, thus not causing too much of a bandwidth problem - however, I find animated avatars irritating when I am trying to read posts and the avatar keeps catching my eye.

Also, of course, my avatar William is the ginger cat around here - maybe I should send him to fight it out with poons' cat - possibly a Deathmatch?

(Won't work, unfortunately - William has been dead for about ten years - but - zombie cats? Interesting concept!)

Ooooh, zombie cats, yes, I like it !! If you have ever read (or if you were unfortunate enough to see the film) Stephen King's Pet Semetary, you'll know all about zombie cats... and dogs... and wives... :cooler:

I sympathize, though, I lost my lovely ginger cat, called Tommy, affectionnately known as Hangover, because he was so big, there wasn't a single chair (not counting armchairs and sofa's) in the house he didn't hang over the edge of. He got hit by a car a couple of years ago now, at the respectable age of 13, and he was the softest, sweetest cat ever, although a terror among the local mice population (we never quite knew how though, unless he sat on them until they suffocated. He weighed a good 12 kilos, in his prime... Ginger cats rule. But that's no reason to animate them in an annoying fashion.

What a lovely warm welcome, I feel so at home here already.

Well, stepping in and showering the place in waving ginger kittens without even introducing yourself does that to you. Try that in any pub or Hell's Angels clubhouse in the world and see what happens. :p

and just telling us one or two words about yourself might help to break the ice.

I was just trying to get my signature to work that's all

I changed my avatar now to my 'baby', I had to put her brother down today because he had FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) I just hope she doesn't have it and it just hasn't shown yet.
Anyway I was going to intoduce myself another time, like I say I was just trying to get the sig to show-I take it the sig doesn't annoy anyone. :roll:

Awwwwwwwwww, what a cutie.

Sorry you took it badly, poons, but animated avatars are dead annoying, and three in a row is really too much... It's better to be told at the beginning in an avatar testing thread than to be yelled down in a serious discussion because of your avatar, isn't it ? :oops:

I lost my cat to FIV when I was 15, it was really painful for all of us at the end to see him like that, and we had to have him put down. I can remember every minute of the journey home with him on my lap, and burying him at the bottom of the garden in a special place he always liked to sit. I do hope your pretty "baby" doesn't have it, and I really sympathize for her brother...
