There’s really good quadrupedal cat avatars here for L$600: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Firespire/30/198/21/

You can find many quad (4-footed, as opposed to 2-footed) avs in furry market places, as well. Rocket City FurMeet is where I look first if I want to find a furry avatar.

If you want more -realistic- animals of all kinds, I highly suggest Grendel’s Children (in the region Avaria Tor). Everything is inexpensive and good quality. They have other kinds of things there, too. Not just animals.

Um, if you wanna talk I’m Saiko Herbst. I’ve been on SL since .. gosh.. 2004. So I could share a lot with you, if you want. So I won’t be such a stranger.

I’ve been on second life for quite a while. I would love to talk to you at some point.

Last night I checked out Second Life. Between my computer freezing up or lagging and my lack of coordination on the controls, it was hard even to read the walls, but I tried. I probably did 5 minutes worth of stuff in an hour. Ha. So I just can’t “hang” because I do “hang”. I kept walking into walls and ending up in the wrong room. Ugh.

Last time I even tried to log on was September when I popped, um, er, teleported(?) into ALF. Well I accidentally somehow got outside without trying and heard police sirens. I thought that was interesting. Probably a week or two later I realized maybe the sirens were about me and trespassing. Who knows.

That’s the price I pay (or not) for getting the cheapest e-machine out there (grins). Oh well, at least all you Second Lifers are safe from my fart .wavs. Or am I over that? Hm LOL

i checked out the cats blog. But since I do not understand cat, it wasn’t much good. :)

I drive, and can’t drive on Benadryl. My husband is allergic to cats, and not really a cat person. So unless someone else is driving that day (happening less frequently as of late, since I’m regularly driving a new friend who’s a non-driver), I can’t really hang with the kitties.

Re: anthropomorphic-shaped animals — I think that the appeal of these is, to some people, based on the fact that it’s a lot easier for humans to dress up like them (as in, wear costumes). I am guessing that eventually, computer-based avatars will move more toward allowing realistic animal avatars, but what you’re seeing in Second Life re. anthropomophic avatars is a case of moving imagery from matter-space into virtual space.

Regarding the tabby stuff, I can only find orange or grey tabbies. So for now I’ll stick to grey and spotted. I did find myself a tail, and some more expressive ears, and a laundry basket bed, a cat tree, and a patch of catnip to roll around in, though. :-)

I’m actually very allergic to cats (not the most severely, but considered severely anyway). And I end up living with one anyway (with a whole ton of Benadryl — I need to find something better than that).

I once met a Siamese cat and he and I meowed at each other for quite awhile.

I like the idea of you as a brown tabby. :)

I wish I weren’t allergic to cats — that cramps my style in interacting with them quite a bit. :( I was extremely fond of my friend’s Siamese mix cat; she’d be meowing at everyone and everything, and I’d talk back to her in English. She seemed to appreciate it, and my friend thought it was the funniest thing in the world. (One of our other friends thought it was incredibly weird, to the point of it bothering her for some reason.)
