There is nothing inherently contradictory about being a lady and enjoying getting into people's pants.

However, a lady never brags about it.

And what are goatpants?

My cat Bob has legs that are fuzzy on top and sleek down low and so it looks like he's got goat legs, but since he's a cat and not a goat, they must be goat pants.

My cat Gabe walks with his hind legs bowed out as if he has the world's largest set even though he's been neutered for the past 10 years. Still trying to figure out what to call that! ;)

The Scrotum Saunter

Bwah! That's a good one....and here comes ol' Scrotum Boy himself. Appears he's starving and only immediate application of large quantities of Science Diet will stave off imminent death!

Apparently there's a bug in the vote tabulation software you bought from the Florida Election Committee.

seconded. and thirded and fourthed too.

<edit>dear god, my eyes! poor doggie.

of course, this is a fine example of how cats ar better than dogs. no self-respecting cat would allow itself to be held that way.

I don't know which is more disturbing a picture of a poor dog being dressed in a stupid sweater or Rosie ? It's a toss up.

Is it me or does Rosie have an evil "I want to kill you" look on her face?

We had a SCOOBY-DOO Dairy Queen Cake for Fathers Day! Thats a DOG :) but I find it funny-and I am sure it was intentional that Scooby-doobie-doo was meant to coincide with Shaggy's munchieskick :)

After reading about your poll in the "Lance's Sorry Sysoping" thread elsewhere, I had to come check it out. Some of you really had marsupials? I knew a woman whose daughter had a ferrett. And guess who ended up cleaning its box and feeding it. I guess some things never change.

Moving along, there's only been a short break in my life where cats weren't a part of it. I love dogs as well, but I find that having cats fits my lifestyle better; being gone at work, being gone in the evening doing my avocational projects. They're independent, yet affectionate and are disarmingly honest about why they're beingaffectionate: a) I want food, b) I want water, c) I want some body warmth. This time around after a break from the death of my boy Nathan over 3 years ago (15 1/2 yrs. old) I took in two cats, twin boys even though I didn't want two (and believe me I've suffered w/finding housing and shelling out large pet deposits because of it) - they're now 3 yrs. old: Luke and Han. So, gotta vote cats.

Chungking, I would gently chide you for that astonishing vote for gerbils were it not for the facts that a) you are my bud, and b) I have already confessed in another thread to having gerbils as a child and finding them adorable.

However, I WILL speak to ares about better screening potential voters he sends to this forum, as it dilutes the purpose of stuffing the ballot box for cats if we have all these alarming rodent votes. ;)

Originally I was going to vote for slow lorises, but I figured I'd better stick to an animal that I had actually owned.

I know what a slow loris is. It's cool. A nocturnal animal, I think perhaps from Madagascar. It lives in trees, having those big eyes to see in the night.

It has come to my attention that a vote has been registered on my behalf for peacocks. I'm here to reject that effort, and to definitively assert that I abstain from voting in this contest. I currently live with three different kinds of pets, and I simply must not be seen as anything other than impartial. Maintaining a proper, diplomatic balance is essential in my situation, given that there are no less than 12-- yes, that's right, 12-- pets here. Unless you are trying to start a riot on Owl Creek Rd., you must retract my supposed vote for peacocks. Already I'm worried that my cats and dog are going to pick up on these "peacock vote" thoughts and turn against me. I've never really seen any of them mad before, but I can't imagine it would be a pretty sight.

That said, the peababies are damn cute. But that's not a vote!

Any changed votes are immediately registered under 'Cats.'

So you have, in effect, voted, whether you like it OR NOT!

So there!

So apparantly I am not able to change my vote to "slow lorises".

[sigh] Oh well.

Perhaps a photo of a slow loris will suffice:
