How did you get your screen name?

[Democracy White]

I got mine from a character that I made up. She's Democracy Incarnate and she is pissed about what Chimpy is doing and trying to keep him in check but even she has her limitations.

So how and why did you get yours?

1. From Millie... my cat

Isn't she a cutie?

[Democracy White]

10. I had a cat that looked alot like that

Her name was Tinker. We had to abandon her for some reason and I remembered feeling so sad that I cried all night and skipped school the next day.

13. you "had to" abandon her?

you're kidding, right?

[Democracy White]

23. Nope.. we had to

Imust point out that it wasn't my decision but my mom and stepdad's, Tinker kept getting into the garbage and tearing it up and spreading it around the kitchen floor. We tried to punish her, but how the hell do you punish a cat? I had told my mom that it would have been better to give her to the Humane Society but mom told me that they wanted money in order to take Tinker in. So one night they put her in a box and left. I nver saw that cat again.

We had then reared a couple offspring of Tinker's, an all black female cat and a blue-grey male cat by the names of Hisser and Snappy.
Both cats were neither spayed nor neutered.

Hisser got pregnant with at least three litters before she finally went mad and we had to abandon her as well. She attacked me when I went into my sister's room where she was taking care of her latest litter.

After she was gone and six months later my mom decided to have Snappy neutered (he was spraying) and have his front claws declawed because she and hubby were planning on getting new furniture (which they never got.)

We had a fourth cat named Koko who was a seal point long haired Siamese with big beautiful ice blue eyes. My mom loved that cat. Well he had disappered for three days and he finally got back home one night. My sister picked him up and I noticed that something was wrong with his tail as it appeared that it was falling off. we took him to the vet and there was nothing much they could do. So he had to be put to sleep because even if there was surgery there was no guarantee he would have control of his bowels as the nerves were damaged. My mom cried all day because of that and she really misses that cat.

We had a manx cat named Sylvester who was an off color cat but he disappeared when we first moved to Hall St. prior to the other cats. My mom theorizes that the neighbors must have tortured an killed them because they were notorious for that.

But yeah that's all that happened. I love cats as well as reptiles and birds. But if I have a cat I wouldn't declaw them as I find that to be cruel and instead train it to use a scratching post of some sort. I would definately spay or neuter it because the apts that I am waiting to move into requires that.

[redqueen]

4. I love that line...

It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. No creativity went into mine, :^)

[Straight Shooter]

6. I try to be straightforward with my opinions and never deceive anyone.

I hate it like hell when bush is referred to as a "straight shooter." Thank goodness those references are becoming more and more scarce :7

BTW, I'm a pretty good shot with a pistol, too.

11. Stupidity and desperation.

Once upon a time, I had a different screenname. Then I lost my password and had a big ol' crash. (Hello, blueberry imac!) I did try to get a new pw, but could never get it to work out. (Odd--I looked up what I thought was my original name, and it looks like it couldn't have been, as it was registered years later...weird.)

As for this name...It was a long time ago. Maybe I thought I'd enjoy being seen as a single-issue poster.

Ther's always been a cat around, they find me. I don't care where it is, or how long I've been at a place they just sho up. Right now, there's five living in our house, two I had, two my wife had, and a rescue, and several outside critters. Plus my birth year for clarity.

19. That is awesome.

So your other selections could have been:

Shark Sandwich
Smell the Glove
Jap Habit
Silent but Deadly

lololol

[IntravenousDemilo]

20. That's right

And any one of them would have been a great screen name, too. I particularly like Smell the Glove.
