I signed up on CigarPass as "CoventryCat86" (see the other thread where I explain my screen name) and I thought all the canned avatars from the "community pack" were pretty lame. Since I'm not smart enough with photo imaging software, etc., I don't know how to design my own avatar. Then one day Rod (the site owner) added about 20 new avatars with the one I'm using being one of them. I figured it was very fitting for my screen name AND it looks very similar to an all white Maine Coon Cat that my ex-wife and I had when we were married (she got "custody" of the cat ). She's still alive and is now nine years old (the CAT, not the ex-wife ).

I never did ask Rod if he put this one in specifically for me, maybe he did or maybe is was just a coincidence. Since it is one of the available avatars in the "community pack" at CigarPass anyone could use this one but c'mon let's get serious, WHO WOULD?

One guy actually did start using it a couple of weeks ago and just about everyone said "Whoa, I had to do a double take since I thought you were CC86." He only posted a couple of times and we never heard from him again.
