too so I think it's pretty cool, anyway is there a connection between audiophiles and cat lovers (seriously)?
Full Version: Feline Avatars
A silly one: I've noticed many "senior" posters here have (their own?) cats as avatars, I find it pretty odd so widespread, but I love cats myself and have an adorable one too so I think it's pretty cool, anyway is there a connection between audiophiles and cat lovers (seriously)?

well, good question, iirc, there was already somewhere a similar topic, who has the link ?
My mind may be very hazy, but i think it started when zZzZzZz (Foobar2000 dev) had a cat avatar. I belive people liked the idea and followed suit??!!!
I may be totally wrong though

It's so long ago, I hardly remember any more.
It even spread as far as foobar2000 when the ":B" icon got replaced by the (far superior) "alien cat" icon.
It's not like there's some secret cult or anything behind it. Just a common love for, and fascination with, cats.

I change my avatar sometimes between Sheryl Crow & my neighbours cat, which love me more, than their "owners".
Independently where I live, after short time I got always close relationship to a black neighbours cat.
When i visited once years ago after I moved another old neighbour, I saw by driving car my fav. old nieghbours cat outdoor. As I had still my old Volvo Diesel, the cat recognized the car after years !!
To check the cat, I drove 100 meters further, stopped the car, and went out.
The cat hurried to me !!!
after years...
and then the cat went slowly to my old house, he thought, I would let him in like years before..
(well, the cat was maenwhile accepted by the family who followed me into that house)
btw. Sheryl will release a new album at end of Septembre, Wildflowers or such, sounds interesting
