Ah, didn’t realize my avatar does not look like a cat to everyone else. It is from a cat stamp showing a sitting cat washing a paw. I will have to find a better cat to use.
^…^<
I don’t know what the others are thinking, but I always thought your avatar looked like a cat licking her paw
Perhaps I always recognized it as such, because I have cats of my own . . . ?
Problem is, perhaps, that it shows up distorted. The actual photo of the stamp is more upright and clear than how it posts here. Working on it. 
For some reason I misread your ID as Marmot the first time and made the picture into a marmot…
Oh dear, all these years some of you have thought I am a marmot. Can’t weasel 
out of that I suppose.
So, to clear up confusion, the hard to discern cat washing its paw avatar is gone, replaced by a real cat! 
Marnet (as in mar-net)
…still reading, still learning… and sometimes getting a good laugh at herself!
Honestly, I always thought a talking marmot who knew a lot about cars was pretty awesome.
db4690- Is that Bill the Cat?
OH, that’s a NEW cat avatar. I remember the old one too. I knew it was not a marmot. Is the new one your cat? Click on PM in your inbox above.
Yep, old avatar was a simple line drawing of a cat washing its paw. Current/new avatar is one of my cats.
@“oldtimer 11”
Yup
Ya I thought it was a critter of some sort, did not see the cat. Not to be offensive but I think a little cropping makes the idea clearer, avatars are tough!
or some selective editing… (this is a quick edit, could do better)
removing the background makes it more viewable.
I like the cat on the quilt better. It looks like my cat, Nash.
Thank you all. I am working from my cell phone because my aging computer has issues. In a few days I will try to trim the pic. If I can’t I may borrow one of those y’all have trimmed if I may. Just like cars, computers work great until they don’t.
certainly, just drag the image to your desktop.
note that most of us just see the smaller icon, so you want it to be legible at that size.
AHA ! Finally got mine changed to a bass guitar like mine.
@ken_green not that much on musical instruments, wife and daughter are, but did not know of a 5 string bass guitar before your pic. Is that for one string for each finger or something like that. Now how to keep it car related…
I like the little guy. Looks like a space alien to me. I like space aliens.
