Sometimes I get really sick off people. No really. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
croaky posted about how DeviantART apparently ain't so deviant after all. When creating an account there you have to pick gender, of course. BUT! And here is the problem. You can only pick male or female, not other or just leaving it blank. Not possible. FAIL! Thats not very deviant of you... In fact, that is gawd damn old fashioned and bigoted off you... Read it, and be as flabbergasted as I was about the responses from DeviantART staff this person got... *shakes head* Sad, really.
DeviantART, binarism and transphobia....
Anyway, as the subject says, this is about cats. Cats, cats, cats... I LOVE cats! I have grown up with them, I have been surrounded by cats since I was 6 years old and my father put the small black bundle in my hands that we named Pyret... then her daughter Ida came along... and then Pelle Svanslös... Then I moved to this city, and I lived without cats for three years... Then I moved in withpeting73, who gladly loves cats as much as I do. And Verdandi and Skuld moved in, and became part of our little family. I could seriously not survive without cats in my life.
So, naturally both my cats have a website off there own on Catster!
And of course I get updates and such from said site, and this little story about these two cats just about broke my heart... Geez... You have heard about the famous fainting goats, right? Well... That is a disease. A serioius disease. Common in goats. Not in cats. Kittens. Get your tissues. You'll gonna need it.
The Real Story Behind the Famous 'Fainting Kittens'
And so, todays Sketchavember photos feauters one of my darling cats. My babies...
This is the view I usually have on my desk when I sit here surfing the net. Skuld LOVES to lie here and get cuddles. Verdandi, who is usually the one seeking you out for cuddles, really don't like the desk that much for some reason. It does happen that they lie in sisterly comradery on the desk though, but it is a rarity. It is usually just Skuld.
*is in kitty-dreamland*
'What is going on here?'
'Oh. It is just you... Give more belly cuddles plx?'
I really like how the third photo came out, with Skulds big eyes looking at you, even if it is a bit out of fokus. Artistic licence, or sopeting73 said. I think I agree. It looks really neat. :-)
