Nah, **petcat**. All different breeds of kitties can hang out together in the Doper Zoo cathouse.
Somehow that doesn’t read the way I meant it

I don’t suppose I could get in under one of my other names, like Yard Ape or Rug Rat? No?! Well fine, I didn’t wanna be in the zoo anyway… thhhhppp to all y’all. Poop.

Well, according to SOME people, I am a Scottish Terrier. So I will become your resident guard dog.
And if you don’t think a ScottiDog is fierce enough to be a guard dog, you don’t know Scotti’s very well. 😃

I have checked various on-line taxonomy sites, & I must ruefully report that there is no beastie, birdy or bug in the whole #%%@^ world with a name starting with B_O_S_D_A.
Fooey. 😛

_A paw shoots out from under a mound of paper and textbooks and waves. The rest of Cougarfang struggles out slowly_
