See how well that works.
Hello people.
I win.
:)
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
I'm thinking it's time I had a profile picture. What do you think? I don't have a picture of the original Snagletooth but this is what he would look like if he looked to the rest of us the way he tried to look to other cats. Try as he might he was never able to intimidate anyone.

Okay, so you have to wait til the moderator approves of said picture but trust me, Snagletooth wished he looked that tough.

I think it's a most excellent idea, snagletooth :) and I'm very much looking forward to seeing it ... *turn expectant eyes upon those with the powers...*
While we wait...
You know chaos theory...? And you know when you prop your ironing board up near your front door, and then a bit later you hang your coat with your keys in it on it and later still, you put on an entirely different coat to pop out quickly to the shop in...? And as you shut the door behind you there's a clunk and thud and sliding noise the other side of it and you realise an incident you'd identified as a potential risk to ever getting back in through it (should it happen even with keys), happened, but without any?
Well that's just kept me very busy. Fortunately, I've been able to absorb about my person the day's fresh bird poo whilst crawling around trying to prise open the cat flap, to realise once I had, that things might not be too difficult after all as long I found the pocket on the other side of the door with my keys in it (which I did) without releasing the catch that keeps the board's springloaded legs flat against it, (which I promptly released almost the instant I'd identified it as a "as-long-as-I-don't-touch-that"), enabling the legs to launch themselves into position against the hall cabinet and complete an impromptu barricade that almost, but not entirely had me completely foiled, people... whilst also freaking out those cats who'd taken the trouble to investigate my disembodied arm fumbling blindly about the floor to a tune of unladylike bursts of idiocy-related self-adjectivisation so that they could then go ahead and turn all bushy to justify the transformation that then got wrought on the kitchen.
Why I'm telling you this, people is because it delayed me reporting in on how my morning went *besieged blink*
because that wasn't good either, for most everyone involved really. No. It's not like no one was warned or anything. When anniet's say ..."see how well that works" ... it really should only ever be read as: whatever-you-do-don't-let-it-be-this - because they need a new photocopier now.
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
They need a new photocopier? Did you break it? Whose they? Have they dealt with you before? And they let you mess with their photocopier? What does that say about them?
As far as the other incident, you entertained the cats which is your duty so I think all's well there. Of course they wrecked havoc; that's their role. All those pictures of cats lazing in the sun are just their way of tricking you into taking them in and feeding them. I once got a cat because the previous human complained he was too rambunctious. He wasn't any more of a hell-raiser than my other cats. She'd been mislead by his soft fur and well practiced "help me" face.
@Snags : we've approved you're profile, but that's not your avatar. Assuming you want to set/change that then go to your Account -> Preferences -> Community : AVATAR SETTINGS is halfway down the page, and you can upload a picture.
Cheers, Mike.

mmm, I thought that is what I did...going to check...oh wait, now I see...let's see if I've got it right this time
Uhmmm, between the keys, ironing board, and photocopier, I don't think you are winning Anniet. Sure, you get a point for entertaining cats, but on the whole, nope. Better luck next time!
(Is that it? That's it, right? Did I win? I'm sure I did. Just let me know...)
