    1. @flaredancer Kihon wa maru.

      Friday, 07-Dec-12 07:47:55 UTC from web
      1. @yodelerty I don't know what that means… And I can't use Chrome or Firefox. I can't install things on the work computer

        Friday, 07-Dec-12 07:51:21 UTC from web
        1. @flaredancer It means "draw a circle" and is one of the few Japanese phrases I know. And I know you can boot Chrome and Firefox off a flash drive but there's probably not one available to you so idk.

          1. @yodelerty Not at the moment, no. At least, not one with either browser on it

          2. @yodelerty I will keep that in mind, though

    2. @flaredancer Maru is such a natural in front of the camera

        Friday, 07-Dec-12 07:51:37 UTC from web
        1. @flaredancer joke's on you. I HAVE a Maru.

          Friday, 07-Dec-12 08:00:41 UTC from web
          1. @abigpony Awww! How cute =^.^= Does s/he play lots?

            Friday, 07-Dec-12 08:02:29 UTC from web
            1. @flaredancer Too afraid of my other cat to be downstairs much, but he does when he is.

              1. @abigpony Aww… :3 We just got a new kitten. She's freakin' fearless lol And she plays rough

                1. @flaredancer Kittens usually are. Make sure they keep that youthful spirit forever.

                  1. @abigpony She's crazier than our other cat was as a kitten. There's some things we're trying to train her our of, but I like the playful, cuddly kitties :3

                    1. @flaredancer I like cats, but not a big fan of kittens.

                      Friday, 07-Dec-12 08:28:19 UTC from web
                      1. @abigpony Really, I just like animals. They're all so darn cute =^.^= Felines are my favorites, though

                        Friday, 07-Dec-12 08:31:09 UTC from web
                        1. @flaredancer I do too, but I just find baby animals like kittens and puppies overhyped and all too often feel adult pets are forgotten about.

                          Friday, 07-Dec-12 08:35:02 UTC from web
                          1. @abigpony I know adult animals in shelters are way less likely to be adopted out, which makes me very sad. All the pets need a loving home. Everyone I know (well) with pets, though, takes good care of them for as long as they have them. I do see your point, though.

                            Friday, 07-Dec-12 08:38:54 UTC from web
                            1. @flaredancer same here, it's just disappointing to know it happens.

                              Friday, 07-Dec-12 08:41:13 UTC from web
                              1. @abigpony Very much so. I know it becomes a big problem around Easter. Parents buy their kids chicks thinking they'll make wonderful Easter gifts, and then the chicks turn into chickens and no one wants to take care of them anymore. I think the same happens with bunnies, but probably not as often. Rabbits stay cute, while chickens aren't so much.

                                Friday, 07-Dec-12 08:44:22 UTC from web
                                1. @flaredancer I've never heard of people buying chicks for easter, but I know it happens with rabbits, but they tend to just release those into my local wetlands. Same goes with cats, but they tend to release those into central park. I don't even know any places that sell chicks around here. Most any holiday really enforces the idea of buying the kids pets.

                                  Friday, 07-Dec-12 08:46:54 UTC from web
                                  1. @abigpony It happens out here. There's still some areas by me zoned for farm type animals and places that sell them. Personally, I can't see why anyone would want a chicken as a pet. I can understand if you're going to eat it or its eggs, but they don't seem like good pets (I've known people who raised chickens for their eggs).

                                    Friday, 07-Dec-12 08:53:10 UTC from web
                                    1. @flaredancer I only know one person who did that, but they went on to owna small farm so it makes sense.

                                      Friday, 07-Dec-12 09:12:11 UTC from web
                                      1. @abigpony Yeah, that makes sense

                      1. @flaredancer @yodelerty there's a service in CA that allows you to rest puppies.. Now I wonder if they do kittens

                        Friday, 07-Dec-12 08:31:53 UTC from web
                        1. @pony Puppies are pretty cute. I tend to prefer full-grown dogs and cats, though.

                          Friday, 07-Dec-12 08:32:56 UTC from web
                        2. @pony That is a good question...

                          Friday, 07-Dec-12 08:34:15 UTC from web
                    2. @pony Man I'd hate to have kittens crawling on me.

                    3. @pony i remember when my cat gave me ED.

    3. @flaredancer http://xkcd.com/676/ Why isn't Maru *my* cat?

      Friday, 07-Dec-12 07:54:15 UTC from web
      1. @scribus Right?!

        Friday, 07-Dec-12 07:55:48 UTC from web
    4. @flaredancer That video was pretty well-produced considering it was just a 40-second clip of a cat walking around with a toy in its mouth.

      Friday, 07-Dec-12 07:56:05 UTC from web
      1. @yodelerty Yeah, her Maru videos are really good. And Maru is ridiculously adorable

        Friday, 07-Dec-12 07:57:03 UTC from web
        1. @flaredancer I don't like cats.

          Friday, 07-Dec-12 07:57:22 UTC from web
          1. @yodelerty But… I'm a cat...

            Friday, 07-Dec-12 07:58:35 UTC from web
            1. @flaredancer Whoa! How you a cat learn to computer?

              Friday, 07-Dec-12 07:59:15 UTC from web
              1. @yodelerty It's a secret =~.^=

                Friday, 07-Dec-12 08:01:59 UTC from web
                1. @flaredancer It's probably the same way cats learned how to make lolcats.

                  Friday, 07-Dec-12 08:03:30 UTC from web
                  1. @yodelerty … Maybe...
