On pets and politics...

Don't talk to me about cats...

...woke this morning to find Frohiké had peed all over the sofa, and all over a basket full of clean washing...

..today, he's an outside cat.

[Etolf]

why is it that cats always want a stroke when you're taking on half the pirates and Khaak in the galaxy in a M4 or similar?

My cat crapped and peed all over my bed while I was downstairs, after the 4th time I finally told my mom and we made a cage out of boxes for him in the basement. He escaped and peed behind the stairs ;(. We can't find how he escaped so now he owns the basement.

He is so fat(20 pounds) and cute though

as many of you may remember my daughters cat pi***d into my open computer last year and i can still smell the sweet aroma of hot cat pee burning circuit boards and wires in the office when the wind blows from the west and wafts the smell from the loft lovely.

ps it still smells beter than the perfume one of our teachers has just bought herself

Years ago when Frohiké was a bit unwell, he was perched on a freind's shoulder as he sat on the sofa when there was a sudden squelching noise and a cry of utter shock and disgust from my freind..

I'll leave the rest to your imagination

Poor puddy cats. Always blamed for everything bad. Mine perfect in every way except the fact I have to feed her in 2 parts, otherwise she scoffs so fast, she burgs it all up again. So how the preamble does she manage to be1/2 a kilo overwieght? \

Anyway, BACK to topic...

I haven't looked into it yet, but what about changing the name of Avarice BEFORE you buy it by hex-editing the game file(s) proper by changing one of the pre-determined names that you have to select? Granted, you will still be told you have entered sector 'enter pontificate name here', but at least on the maps, it will be YOURS! I'm somewhat adept at hex-editing the working memory so that's where I usually do my, ahem, fiddling (but only for names now, no cheating involved per se).

Then again, no doubt someone here can take a voice recording of your own/bessy simulacrum and whop it in place of the actual sound chunk.

Summin for the tech forum mebbe...

K, back to off topic.

Why are you talking about sector names nNemethon? This is obviously a thread about all the bad pissing and sh*ting of cats. (Are we allowed to say sh*ting?)
This is good, there should be a whole book of, "The time my cat...." lol
I guess im kinda lucking not having any pissing pets, the most we have is hundreds of frogs in the back yard when it rains

[efernal]

you all think cats are bad? trying haveing a dog that has piss that smells worse than your worse morning piss all the time... now iminage being married to someone who isnt offened by this dogs pee being on the floor or coutch. since he likes to lift his leg on everything. gross and my wife wonders why I stay upstairs on the cpu to get my dose of news and "entertainment".


and to top off everthing I fell asleep in my cpu chair with the door open the other day. the little bastard walked in and pissed on a case of soda i had sitting next to me. that dog doesnt know just how lucky his is to still be able to sleep under the bed. was a former cage dog. then she adopted him him before we met a few years ago.

even still it wouldnt be the same without him barking up a storm when i get home from work.

Oh Tut Tut! It's bad enough that this thread has gone wildly off topic, but that ESD has forgotten he's a moderator and has actually contributed to all this cat-bashing instead of sending it to the loony asylum where it belongs is unforgivable!

I might just sic CBJ on this thread.

[jlehtone]

Yes, a stamp of "Off Topic" could be in order. These "cats" seem dangerous indeed.


Out of the predefined names (in English game) only "Legend's Home" has any practical purpose. It starts with 'L'. Second 'L' on the map after Light of Home. The rest are hopeless. I wonder if on some other language edition there is unique initial. Or, if one really could hex-edit, would it work as shortcut?

Whatever the price of Avarice is, remember: "easy come, easy go".

I ahve the answer to all cat pissin problems,,,,,,,,,he's my dog ! 6 stone of German Shepherd!

That's one of the most aweful sounds imaginable. When I was a kid, our family cat used to eat tinsil of the Christmas tree. Within seconds, it'd make that noise....it happend in my youth, so it still makes me cringe 30 years later.


What was worse, when the tinsil ran it's course. Then the cat would run thru the house, doing it's impression of a wedding limo pulling cans behind it.

That was the first time I heard my mother swear.

@jlehtone: Stop posting off-topic, you, this thread is about cats...

PS the guy who said his cat is like 22lb, that doesn't mean a lot to me, I could convert it but I can't be bothered, just wanted to say mine is 9.5kilos...he's a naturally VERY large cat, and fat as can be! He's the living incarnation of Garfield, he's orange with stripes, huge and fat, lazy, the only problem is he's only got one eye...he was rescued from the wild (on the island of myconos) when he was only 12cm long!! He comes from many generations of wild cats, and although he sometimes wants attention, if you stroke him at the wrong time, and he wants to play, you WILL lose a hand...he doesn't play 'nice'...but he's wicked, loadsa character...

My cat would rip him a new one...seriously, I've got scars to prove it, and when it's pill time, it takes two fully grown men to hold him down...

Wrong end.... it wasn't his mouth

[Augustini]

If you want the sector named in a specific way, just write a script...

Holy hell....

I bet your friend was never the same after that, was he?


Thanks mate, you've got me laughing in the office.

[BugMeister]

I guess you'd have to call that a cat-as-trophy..!!

[The_Abyss]

Not really a purrfect description.

Hmmmm, if you had a cat, that would solve your frog problems...you'd then have a hundreds of dead green 'presents' on your kitchen floor.

Cats are the best.
