Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2004What Sign is Your Kitty?
And do they have the traits of that sign? Bandit and Sammy are Aries - here's the traits of an Aries... The Sun blazed in dynamic Aries, a fire sign on your birthday. The Sun in astrology stands for your inner nature, the light of your essential character. Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac, is a masculine sign ruled by the warrior planet Mars, whose motto must be "Crash through, or crash!". A cardinal (creative and inventive) sign, Aries, the Ram, governs leadership and initiative. Aries people are bold and self-confident, although they tend to be overly impulsive. "Bold, self-confident, overly impulsive" - LOL, yep, that's Bandit! "Crash through, or crash!" - choking on my laughter, Ohmygawd, yes, that's Sammy!!! Demi is a Virgo - here's the traits of a Virgo... Before you Virgo-born individuals worry too much about your natural concern for attention to detail, a desire for order, organization, and overall perfection, you should consider that it is the Virgo influence in the world which schedules and catalogs just about everything. Without this Virgo quality, planes, trains, busses, and all other regulated and scheduled events would just more or less happen of their own accord, if at all. You would go to the airport and have to wait until the pilot decided to leave; even then he might not fly where you wanted to go. "Worry too much??!" - ROTFLOL, yes again! Jessie is a Leo - here's the traits of a Leo... The Sun rulership of Leo offers a tremendous opportunity for the Leo native to change what may be a negative desire to show off, upstage others, and to demand center-stage into a much more positive showing. The trick is to learn to face reality. If you want to be the center of attention, fine; but when you do occupy this position, be certain that you have something worthwhile to offer for the benefit of your "audience." If you don't have anything constructive to offer, don't demand the spotlight. "Show off, upstage others, demand center-stage!!!!?????? - <gasping for air I'm laughing so hard>! Remember the pictures of my house where Jessie had to be in almost every shot!!???? CatNipped is a Scorpio - here's the traits of a Scorpio... There are two symbols for Scorpio - the scorpion, with its legendary sting and the eagle, which soars aloft to great heights. 'I DESIRE' is the motto for Scorpio. You are intensely emotional and strongly aware of the darker side of human nature. You don't live on the surface of life, but experience it at its deepest levels. You possess an iron will, a strong ego and a unique personal magnetism. You make a loyal friend and a passionate lover. You're also intuitive, ambitious and have a penetrating mind. You have a burning need to uncover what is hidden, whether it's a mystery or someone else's innermost secrets. You're rarely who you appear to be on the outside and are not easy to get to know. You also have a tendency to brood and to bear grudges and can be suspicious and vindictive. You are the investigators of the zodiac. "Strong ego, intensely emotional" - Um, guilty as charged!! Hugs, CatNipped Well, as an astrologer, of course I have had to pay attention to my kitties' birthdata. With most of them strays, shelter adoptions and ferals, who knows when they truly were born? But I'm pretty good at figuring it out. So here's mine: Cosmo: Cancerian, with Moon in Aries and Leo rising Internet: Pisces, with Gemini rising and Moon in Cancer Sabra: Virgo, with Scorpio rising Trill: Capricorn, all the way Wolfie: the only one whose birth week I know): Gemini Brando: Cancerian Merlyn: Taurus Arthur: Taurus Can't remember at this moment all the rest of the Moon and Ascendant signs. Cosmo is true to his Leo rising with a mane and very serious, stately appearance and demeanour. He's a bit shy (Cancerian) and loves affection (ditto). But he does have a temper that he will show out of nowhere on rare occasions (Aries). Internet is the sweetest, most gentle, tolerant little guy (Pisces), who is very friendly to other cats as well (Gemini). He has some food issues (Cancer). Sabra has always been the most perfectly immaculately clean and groomed cat I have ever known (Virgo). With a wicked streak, he used to like to torture Cosmo just for the heck of it (chase him without actually even *doing* anything to him!)(Scorpio). Trill *looks* like a little old man, and has always acted like it, too. lol. Very Capricorn. Wolfie is a skittish as they come, in true Gemini fashion. Brando, after being tamed, has turned out to worship food and be a lap cat. Cancerian, anyone? ;-) Merlyn I'm actually wavering on whether she is a Taurus or Pisces. She is built like a Mack truck, which indicates Taurus, and she is stubborn (ditto). But she is also rather shy with strangers and has an odd delicate air about her, which is Pisces. She is one major chatterbox, so Gemini rising is a strong likelihood. Arthur is young enough, I'm satisfied I'm within a week of his birthdate, so Taurus it definitely is. He *loves* comfort. I think sometimes he thinks he went to kitty heaven when he came here, with all the fun places to lay, and all the toys. He's lately begun sleeping right next to my back on the heated waterbed. Ahhh, luxury for Taurus!

True, I guess I've become spoiled by the nice, kind, sensitive and caring people on this group and forgot what most newsgroups have to put up with. Gee, thanks for reminding me Hans! Hugs, CatNipped > Tweed >> Hans certainly has a brain, and a good one at that. > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > >> Tweed I'm a bit sad and confused now. All right, I am not like all of you monochrome conformists out there. This time I expressed my opinion on astrology, I could have let out the first line in my posting, which I can see could be taken personally, but I stand for the rest of it. I like this group, too, and I contribute to it the best I can with stories about my cats, my life and so on. But what makes me sad, is that whenever I open my keyboard to let it print some of my personal opinions on things, I get my balls kicked for being grumpy, bitchy (always thought that was an adjective connected to females, but anyway...) and all kinds of bad things. It really hurts me, and that's true... In Norway, we have a tradition on speaking out what we mean. Ok, some people disagree, some agree, we have a discussion, and then we're friends again, even with those who disagree the most. As easy as that. I don't want this group to be a community where all contributors have to think just about the same about everything, you should stand that some people have different opinions without creating a lynch mob... The first times I sent postings to this group, I realise that I didn't behave properly all the time, and I have apologized that several times. Proof? I've also been sending purrs for cats (or people) in need of them. Honestly, I think we need all kinds of people in this group, an argument is not a catastrophe. To say a bit more about myself (I think a lot of people in this group have been wondering about that), I live in Oslo, Norway, out of work for the moment, I am not religious, I am an agnostic, that is to say I will believe in a god when I see him, before that, I don't care. I am 47, divorced, and live in a bedroom at a friend of mine until I can afford to move into something better (i.e. when I get a job). As most of you know, I am a man with temper. Like a cat, I can show you my teeth and hiss at you, but i NEVER bite or use my claws (at least, you won't see any blood). In fact, I find my temper is one of my better qualities, never leaving a question behind on what I mean or how I react to things going on. Still confused about me? In that case, drop me a line at han-schr@online.no and I will do my best to confuse you even more ;-) Just kidding, but just drop me a line, I would be happy. But my balls are so sore now: Please don't kick them anymore! I have to go now, I must get up at 7:30 AM to go to a cat exhibition with my ex-wife. Why: 1. Pick up the beauty that Teti is going to "play" with for the next three or four days 2. To help my ex selling homemade wool cat toys at the exhibition. If you want, you can look at her products at http://www.moonas.no I know you can't understand the language (most of you), but if you just browse the pages by instinct, you will get an idea... Have a nice, peacefull Sunday! Hans Hans On Sun, 5 Dec 2004 00:24:47 +0100, "Hans Schrøder" <han-schr@online.no> yodeled: >I'm a bit sad and confused now.

OK, Hans, I'll try to explain it to you. Nobody actually cares about your opinion of astrology. I'm sure a lot of people here think it's crap, too. The point is that nobody else who thinks that took the opportunity to stomp on Nipped's posting in that rude and dismissive way. You see, this group, AFAIK, is not a group of "monochrome conformists" by any stretch. If it were, were would only post about cats, and nothing else. But we are able to recognize how our cats play into our personalities and the rest of our lives, so those things often come up in discussion, too. In case you hadn't noticed, this group seems to have a social aspect, too, and we consider each other friends. You seem to be saying that your beliefs and expression have been somehow stifled. But what were you trying to do to Nipped? Sorry, I can't defend so-called "freedom of speech" if it's being called on to stifle somebody else's, and tell her what she should and shouldn't post here. That's just disingenuous. Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com > I'm a bit sad and confused now. All right, I am not like all of you > monochrome conformists out there. This time I expressed my opinion on > astrology, I could have let out the first line in my posting, which I can > see could be taken personally, but I stand for the rest of it. Actually, I don't necessarily believe in astrology either. And if you would have said, "I don't believe in astrology, I think it's a bunch of crap" I might have replied "Yeah, you're probably right, but I was just having some fun comparing my cats' personalities to the traits assigned to astrological signs". Instead what you did was rudely suggest that I should not have posted that thread here, even though what I posted was about my cats. I'm sorry about your sore balls, and I'm truly sorry if you're feeling down right now (I did say one of the signs of depression was reacting with anger to something that would not normally make you angry, sigh). However, whether it is just from being told this all my life, or whether there is maybe something to astrology, I tend to react in classic Scorpio style, with a quick and deadly sting, when I perceive a threat or mistreatment to either myself, someone I love, or someone I believe to be helpless. As my husband fondly says of me, using a quote from Fawlty Towers, "She can draw blood with her tongue at thirty paces." I have no illusions that I am always right, indeed life experience has shown me how very little I truly know about anything. I am always open to being corrected, and I love to have discussions with people who see things differently than I do. You, or anyone else here, can disagree with me all you like, I take no offense in that. But unless you want to walk away metaphorically bloodied, please do so in a civil manner. Just as you are feeling down right now, there are many, many people here who are feeling very fragile at this difficult time of year, and a nasty post can do more than just cause hurt feelings to someone who is battling with depression. Had you not posted in this manner in the recent past I probably would have just let it go, but I wanted to let you know that it is *not* OK to be nasty here - my friends here don't deserve it, and neither do I, and neither do you.

It is one thing to express one's views on such things as astrology. If you don't believe in it, it's cool. Just as we all don't follow one religious doctrine here, we don't expect everyone to be into the horoscopes. Myself, I look at them as an entertainment and an ice-breaker at parties and kaffeeklatches. But the post you originally placed seemed to take more of a shot at CatNipped as a person with too much time and too little brain. It sounded condescending. That is not cool. > I like this group, too, and I contribute to it the best I can with stories > about my cats, my life and so on.

Nor do I.

I've also been sending purrs for cats (or people) in need of them. I know. We all put our foot in our mouths every now and again, on the group and outside, and usually come off all right. > Honestly, I think we need all kinds of people in this group, an argument is > not a catastrophe.

As I define a religion as a way of living and not necessarily a way of worship, I propose that agnosticism is a form of religion, as is atheism. One who does not believe in a deity can live by an ethical code the same as, or higher than, many believers'. > I am 47, divorced, and live in a bedroom at a friend of mine until I can > afford to move into something better (i.e. when I get a job).

I'll leave your nuts alone! Blessed be, Baha Hans, let me try to explain a few things. This group isn't about arguing. There are plenty of other groups for that. It's about support, community, and sharing. We certainly have a wide range of people and opinions here, and although we occasionally disagree vehemently about some topic or another, in general, this is a friendly group that tends to avoid arguing with each other. At least that is my take on it. And attacking someone for a post is definitely *not* something we generally do here, unless it's a troll, which was not the case this time. I'm sorry you feel bad and disagree. You are certainly welcome here, but please, refrain from attacking people, okay? That's not what we're about in this little corner of the Internet.

This time I expressed my opinion on [quoted text clipped - 56 lines] > >Hans <snip> > I'm a bit sad and confused now. All right, I am not like all of you > monochrome conformists out there. Monochrome conformists? Do you really mean that? Or was that said in a moment of impulsiveness? > This time I expressed my opinion on > astrology, I could have let out the first line in my posting, which I can > see could be taken personally, but I stand for the rest of it. And that, I think, lies at the heart of the problem. The first line set the tone of the post. Had you let out that line, and the last line, I don't think anyone would have gotten particularly upset. > I like this group, too, and I contribute to it the best I can with stories > about my cats, my life and so on. But what makes me sad, is that whenever I > open my keyboard to let it print some of my personal opinions on things, I > get my balls kicked for being grumpy, bitchy (always thought that was an > adjective connected to females, but anyway...) and all kinds of bad things. > It really hurts me, and that's true... I would hazard a guess the reason why some of your posts come across as mean-spirited is because you are not writing in your native language, and you don't have much experience with written *conversation* in English where tone is important. Whilst your meaning is quite clear, there may have been other, less upsetting, ways of saying what you wanted to say. > In Norway, we have a tradition on speaking out what we mean. Ok, some people > disagree, some agree, we have a discussion, and then we're friends again, > even with those who disagree the most. As easy as that. I don't want this > group to be a community where all contributors have to think just about the > same about everything, you should stand that some people have different > opinions without creating a lynch mob... Again, its all about tone. Tone makes the difference between a discussion and an argument. Differences of opinion are quite allowed - even valued - here, as long as that differnce of opinion is respected and is not used to belittle or hurt another. I'm not a big believer in Astrology either, however I know that some people here can and do take Astrology very seriously. I'm not going to make fun of them for doing so, because they are my friends, and I know that they won't make fun of me for *not* believing in it. Simple as that. And if I can find some fun and amusement by reading and posting about Cat Astrology, I will do so, not because I do believe in Astrology, and not because I don't, but because by posting, I'm joining in the conversation and having fun. If I really objected to Astrology that much, I simply wouldn't participate in the thread, and leave it for those who are obvioulsy enjoying the conversation, inane as it may be to me.

Nobody is criticizing you for your opinion about astrology. Do you follow me? Nobody cares what you think about astrology. You don't have to conform to anything - except consideration and respect for others here. (And you don't *have* to conform to that, either, but if you don't, that's when people will get annoyed with you.) I don't believe in astrology either, but if I'm not interested in a thread, I simply don't read it. You are not forced to read anything that doesn't interest you! I actually *count on* there being a regular number of threads I'm NOT reading - otherwise, I'd spend way too much time on this ng. (And that means less time for... you-know-what. :)) One more time: Hans, you are not expected to share the opinion of anyone here, and nobody expects you to believe in something just because many of us do. All we expect is for you to be decent to people - and calling people "monochrome conformists" is NOT decent. That is all that people are angry about. > whenever I open my keyboard to let it print some of my personal > opinions on things, I get my balls kicked for being grumpy, bitchy > (always thought that was an adjective connected to females, but > anyway...) Now you're insulted because you got the wrong kind of insult? > It really hurts me, and that's true... I'm sure it hurts people to be told: "Excuse me, you have too much time on your hands" and "why bother us with this?" If you say something nasty to someone else, then don't whine when someone says something nasty back. > As most of you know, I am a man with temper. Why don't you save it for people who deserve it, rather than using it on people who are innocently enjoying themselves, not hurting anyone? I'm sorry that not every thread on this ng interests you, but most of us are content to delete the posts we don't care about. Why can't you? > In fact, I find my temper is one of my better qualities, never > leaving a question behind on what I mean or how I react to things > going on.

Who cares whether astrology is valid or not. That's simply not the point. As to whether we are wasting time here, I think one could probably maintain that all of USENET is a waste of time. In my experience, this has always been a group with "topic crawl," and I like it fine that way. If you don't like it, then you are free to mark and not read whatever topics you don't like. But don't beat up on good friends.

Well. I look at it like this. As far as I'm concerned (and I'm quite a newbie here myself) this is a group of friends, who all have cats. But we are friends as well, and therefore can post what concerns us and what interests us. I liked the post about astrology for our cats. It fitted well here. I replied and would like to know what anyone thinks my cat's birthsigns might be, if they are into astrology.

If the moon is powerful enough to control the tide of the oceans, I have to believe the stars are powerful enough to influence people. On the other hand, I'm an Aries; i.e. the strong, impulsive leader-type. It kind of makes me want to check the validity of my birth certificate. My DH is a twin, and the polar opposite of his twin to boot. My kids are born one day and 5 years apart, so they're both the same "sign"...sometimes I can't even believe they are related they are so different. Those are the reasons I don't get too choked up over astrology. But it's fun anyway. Sherry >I dunno.

Christine If you don't care for the thread, please don't read it. Others may be interested in the topic and I do not appreciate your attempts to censor what others post.

Perhaps because it is a fun diversion and many of us just need to kick back and have a few chuckles maybe? I don't see the harm in it; and if CatNipped wants to spend a bit of her spare time having a little fun with the horoscopes it's nothing to get prickly over. We can't spend all our time in the clouds of the intellect, and must every so often just enjoy a sniff of the roses and a roll in the grass.

Nico does like to be the centre of attention, but so does Laku. Maybe it's more of a kitty trait than having to do with horoscopes... :) SignatureChristine in Vantaa, Finland christal63 (at) yahoo (dot) com photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 As my two were both rescues, I haven't a clue what their birthsigns might be, I'd quite like to, though. Kitty is independent, fierce, unforgiving and can be violent if necessary. She accepts affection only on her own terms, only when *she* wants it, otherwise a definite rebuff. She likes only the food she fancies that day. Scorpio? Boyfriend is almost totally the reverse. He didn't do well at being independent, and even though he was almost terminally shy at that stage, he had the sense to attach himself to a house in the hope of being fed. He is very kind natured, has nothing like a temper at all. He is extremely polite. He would *never* push himself on you, be "in yer face." He asks for things only when he thinks you aren't busy. Very quietly too. He will only settle next to me on the settee if I am extremely still and quiet. Pisces? Tweed > And do they have the traits of that sign? > [quoted text clipped - 77 lines] > > CatNipped I dunno about Shmogg. Back when I was far more religious than I am now, if someone asked me what sign I was, I'd answer "I was born again under the sign of the cross". Perhaps this is similar to Shmogg: He was just born cross :-) Actually thinking if anything, he'd be a Gemini, an absolute purr-puddle occasionally, and a right b*st*rd c*t the rest of the time, and can change without any warning from one to the other at light speed.

Let's try to guess and assign her a sign for fun (and you might want to make it semi-official and celebrate her birthday in that timeframe). Here's a link that has some of the traits: http://www.cjwinters.com/astrochars.html. Again, this is just for fun!

I celebrate his birthday at the turn of the year, because I got him in early summer, and the vet said he was six months old. What is his personality? Sweet, sweet, sweet. Amiable, imperturbable, tolerant, patient, great equanimity. Curious-- no, NOSY; Goofy, frivolous; friendly, trusting, open, accepting. Cuddly. Chatty. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com > What about Stinky? I don't know what his birthday is, either.

Sounds like maybe a PISCES, February 19 March 20? That would be close to the age the vet guessed if he were born near Feb. 19th. Does this fit?

I would have to say Aquarius or Capricorn-- Pisces puts it too late in the year. I wouldn't say the below really fits him-- he's NOT secretive or shy, among other things. ;) >Compassionate - Impressionable - Dreamy - Sacrificial - Spiritual - >Psychic - Indecisive - Dualistic - Romantic - Sensitive - Misunderstood - [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >> Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh >> My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com My guess is Sagittarius. The friendly, frivolous, open and goofy part is said to be quite Sagittarian. I know, because I'm one and very much a goofball! Blessed be, Baha > What about Stinky?

I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur! Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album Nocturne is also an Aries. She's got the "bold" and "Self confident" down but I don't know about "impulsive." She's more likely to spend hours plotting vengeance. The bitties are Cancer. Does anyone know the traits for Cancer? Smokey, we guess, is a Leo since we adopted him in that month and we guestimate his age as if he were born in August. He isn't much of a born leader. He's kind of like a male lion--sleeps, mates (or tries to) and waits for females to bring him food. DP and I are Virgos who utterly despise order in every way. --Fil > Nocturne is also an Aries.

LOL - well, there's [probably more than one] exception to every rule!! ;> Hugs, CatNipped > --Fil > > The bitties are Cancer.

Clinging, tenacious, domestic, sensitive, Empathetic, Impressionable...that's our bitties. As for Tyche, she embodies "clannish" and "family centered" as: If you aren't in my family I HATE YOU! HISSSSSSS!!! ;) --Fil > And do they have the traits of that sign? Roxie and Stosh are both Gemini, although Roxie is a year older. I'm wondering if this could explain why sometimes they have a rivalry thing going on, and why Stosh is such a mama's boy at times and other times he wants to beat the hell out of me. I think it is the sign of communication, ruled by Mercury; Roxie is the talker among us, the most expressive and most frequent. She is also the most meditative, though, a quality she shares with Odessa. I'm told Geminis tend to be changeable; those of you with more astrology knowledge, feel free to enlightn me please! Brandy is Aquarius; I think of the Age of Aquarius song, how it talks about loving everyone, and that's my Brandy. She also has some of the reasoning capabilities which i understand is an Aquarian trait. Put a munchie into something difficult to reach, and she will move heaven and earth to get it, exhausting all possibilities. Odessa, best I can figure, is on the Aquarius/Pisces cusp. I'll admit I don't know much about Pisces, except it is supposed to be a sign of the subconscious and mystical, and could well explain her inscrutability and her knack of exploring places I never thought a cat could manage. For the record, I'm Sagittarius and Louie is Aries; the definition of Aries here is spot on for him, though he'd never admit it! Sagittarius is said to be both the theologian and the party-hearty one of the zodiac, a near-impossible combination; and we are said to be the most likely to marry later in life.
