I swear we have more cat threads than games. A non serious poll here. Questions 1. Should we have a cat forum? 2. Should people without cat pictures in the posts be banned? 3. If cat posts where banned, would the message board respond faster? 4. Would people tolerate any other pet that barfed all the time or sat on their face when sleeping? My Answers 1. Yes. 2. Yes. 3. Yes. 4. No. ---

Yes, we should have a cat Forum. I, for one, would check it daily. Before the STMB I only suspected that cat ownership was directly related to high intelligence, now I know it is a fact. ``` I happily worship at the altar of my beloved Prince Albert von Heisenberg. ``` ---

Most of us dog persons, and vagabonds that may consider it abuse to leave our friends alone for so long, ignore these kind of threads. This may be a good thing. I only wish I could keep a pet. I’m gone for as much a 6 months at a time. It would not be a good thing for my furry friend. ---

If cat posts where banned, would the message board respond faster? 4. Would people tolerate any other pet that barfed all the time or sat on their face when sleeping? My Answers 1. Yes. 2. Yes. Although I have no cat, I will be happy to post other people’s cat pictures and/or pictures of other people’s cats. 3. Possibly. 4. Can’t think of anyone who would. ---

Get 'em out of the forums I read. 😉 6. Depends, do you mean all posts, or just posts in your cat forum? If the latter, go for it. If the former, nyet. (Sorry, no cat here, let alone cat pics.) 7. I doubt it. Those cat posts scare the hamsters and capybara into bursts of mad speed. 8. I never had a problem with the barf, or the sitting on my face while sleeping. I object to having my clean laundry used as a litter box. **By four different cats, at different times, dammit!** Note, the answers in this post may not be meant seriously.

Would people tolerate any other pet that barfed all the time or sat on their face when sleeping? My Answers 1. If we want Dolores Umbridge to run the board, why yes, by all means. 2. If answer 1 applies, that would most probably be the rule. 3. If answer 1 and 2 applies, no, only more catpost can improve the boards. Witchcraft and wizardry you know. 4. If answer 1, 2 and 3 applies, absolutely not. However, personaly I would like to see more unicorns and rainbows. ---
