Now I have made a topic un-fun many a time by pointing out some facts.

Now in Hollywood I have heard that doing nice little re-takes of films like milo and otis et al, have resulted in the death of like 70 cats and/or dogs because they didn't get them to smile or whatever at the right time.....blah blah etc.

So I hope I am not being too inquisitive when I say that I hope that no animated cats were injured in the making of these animated gifs.

If not I would be humbled to have one as my av.

It is a good thing for us humans that animals can't talk yet and front tribunals for the heinous things we have done to them, even the domestic pet for that matter.

Maybe that should be the theme for a science fiction novel, which is an acquired taste, but I would be glad to find one.

I use Animation Shop, and the step-by-step guide from RedRival, so actually he is the greatest.

My girlfriend and I have 3 cats at the moment ourselves.
One is ours, and two are from an organisation who pick up stray animals who are then checked by a vet, nutered and then placed by people like us to get them used to humans.
After that they find a definitive home for them.

Like I said to Rat Faced already: The flying cat ran away after the incident, the fan cat is from a Nokia commercial and therefore not real, and the third one is only very sleepy.

So rest assure: No (animated) cat were injured in the making.

Just tell me which one you are going to take, so I can put "Taken" behind it.

That sceince fiction novel you are mentioning would look a lot like "Animal Farm" from Georges Orwell, I think.

I've just knocked this together, see what you think.

And Bender you want to use Virtual Dub to change video formats.

I like it.

Someone else told me that too, but I never figured out how VirtualDub worked.

But I've just found out I can do it in Animation Shop too, so from now on my avatars will have a clean 64x64 pixels format.
