Well, janet, I couldn't tell if you were saying that you were the ASCII-artist or the "picture" just looked a lot like one of your real-life cats. I'm sort of "dense" that way. :-) The cat "picture" you replied to is one of several cats that I have found in the ASCII-art news group or on ASCII-art Web pages. I have several others: |\_/| (42?) +- (42-mew) -------+ +-- =( o O )= / ---+ +--------- (42?) --+ | \ /\_/\ | | /\ " /\ | | /\_/\ / | | ____/ o o \ | | | |\_/| | | | ( o.o ) | | /~____ =ø= / | | \_>---<_/ | | > - < | +- (______)__m_m) -+ +-- (___|___) -----+ +------------------+ /^--^\ (42?) __ _-==-=_,-. +-- \____/ /-----+ And, I suppose you could /--`' \_O-O.--< ---+ | / \ | call this one ==========> `--'\ \ <___/. | | | | | a cat as well.
