Explain your avatar

[Grandpa]

I should mention my dad got a deep scratch on his leg from our house cat at the time. That one required epsom salts for about a week after the infection took hold.

Me, I've been bit and scratched about 10,000 times just playing with them, never meanly, and I haven't had problems. But they're nothing to mess with.

I've had dogs and cats and other pets over my lifetime, and.... wait!! This thread is, "Explain your avatar." Another time, perhaps.

I actually just changed mine! My current avatar is my cat Milo and me. He got really sick a few days ago and there for a while it didn't look like he was going to make it. Took him to a vet yesterday and he got a few shots and is doing much much better! I'm definitely an animal lover and Milo is my pride and joy. Haha. So my avatar is a celebration of his recovery.

Glad he is doing better. I hate sick little kitties, it's scary and heartbreaking.

I've explained an attack my mom had from a neighborhood cat -- emergency room and lots of blood.

Honest confession: I know it's silly, but when I read your posts, I always picture you looking like the lady in your avatar. Heh.

Hair's wrong, but on a good day… maybe (lol).

Well, this one is just because this is all I long to do all summer long. Just lounge about and read, preferably on the beach, but the pool at the Y or even my backyard chair will do

carrie's younger brother I love all those cartoons. They were my favorites

AchtungBaby glad your kitty's better.

I was looking through the avatars suggested from the old site and this one just felt right for me. I have dark hair like her and she looks creepy and cool. However, I didn't know that she was part of the game Bioshock until someone pointed it out to me. That's OK. I like her, she's a keeper. She might be my Halloween costume this year with a SKMB t-shirt. That would be awesome!

Pretty much. The haze is mental, but I do have a big family! lol

From the original SKMB there were stock avatars to use. Spideyman= doxie= perfect avatar.

I had a friend who was bit by a cat, his hand swelled up like a balloon, and he had some drastic treatment on it. That was four years ago, and he's never gotten full strength back in his hand. I told the story to a doc friend of mine, and he said, "Cat bites are incredibly toxic. Someone comes to me with a cat bite, and I just order an antibiotic IV immediately." So it doesn't take a pack. I don't say this to be contrary. It's a public service announcement. Get those cat bites looked at immediately.

...or at the very least get a tetanus shot - my cat was sitting on my lap and I was wearing shorts. Someone knocked sharply on the glass door at the back and he went flying, digging his claws into my leg. The doctor took a look at that and did put me on antibiotics (oral) and also gave me a tetanus shot.

Mine was one of the avatars to choose from the stock when I joined SKMB.

Mine changes as the mood hits me, but usually maintains my apeman qualities.
