Gyngyn and LizzyM clearly need to change their profile pictures

[Lost In Transcription]

@Goro, @gonnif, and @Catalystik all have cats as their profile pictures.


Looks like @gyngyn and @LizzyM missed the faculty memo...

 

[gonnif]

I just posted this elsewhere but it bears repeating in my case

With all the other adcoms having pictures of their felines, I was fighting the defacto requirement to do so. But apparently resistance is futile. Actually, I felt the strong need to share Braveheart's picture, my wild cat of 14 years, as onlate Friday afternoon a very large abdominal mass was found. While an ultrasound and cytology is not done yet, the chances that it is something other than a large malignant tumor are slim. Hence I thought I would share his countenance with the forum.

I'm so sorry to hear about Braveheart, I hope he pulls through. Glad you shared his picture with us all, he has an adorable countenance.

I am so sorry. I love my cats, and my 15 year old one is also starting to have issues.

Very sorry to hear that your cat Braveheart might be ailing. I am sending my best wishes and kindest thoughts to Braveheart, and to you. Thank you for sharing his photo with us - Braveheart is a gorgeous cat!

BTW, I named him Braveheart because when young, he was chickensh!t

 

[SwordOfTheMorning]

I guess they did miss the memo! And I always thought gyngyn's pic was puffed smoke, until I actually clicked on it and saw that it was some type of vegetable or something! I always have to remind myself it's not smoke now lol.

 

[LizzyM]

I've had 4 avitars over the years and the point was, at first, that I wanted to look older so that pre-meds would realize I wasn't a 20 year old pre-med myself. Now I think that James Bond's M is the purrr-fect avatar for me.

 

[Goro]

Much better than the white Persian that always sat in Blofeld's lap!

What about pre-hairless? Not a bad cat then, as far as cats go...

This avatar pic is still up for grabs!

I think I get more of a panther vibe as opposed to a lap-cat vibe from LizzyM, even though it lacks a Bond reference.

 

[gyngyn]

I'm having blue coliflor withdrawal...

I dunno...you're looking a bit fuzzy to me.

You would be too!

This is really throwing me off lol

Yesssssssss.
Gyngyn, cute cat.

 

[Dagrimsta1]

So I don't get. Do all physicians and faculty members on SDN automatically have cats? Are any of you dog people? I for one can't stand cats and their retractable nails/knives.

 

[LivMoore]

^Haters back off. Cats are amazing
I love the cat pictures.

You can like cats and dogs, you know.

I somehow feel cats are more appropriate anyway

I love all animals ... and grew up with 3 dogs, 3 cats, and a horse - although I'm partial to felines. Does that make you feel better?

My Mom's cat. Baby.
She's asking for a treat when the photo is taken.

 

[Goro]

We have a dog. He is the stupidest dog in the entire world. The cats keep him in line.

We are all so busy working late pouring throw thousands of applications that we may not be able to get home in time to walk the dog.
Oh wait, Im retired. The cat and I have the same nap schedule

That makes more sense. Cats like to nap alot.

Actually I never really liked cats. I grew up with dogs, labs mostly. Just had some wild cats in my neighborhood and this one showed up on a cold rainy march day crying so I gave him a can sardines. Next thing I knew I was buying 50 pound bags of cat food. He eventually took over my Florida room (enclosed porch) which my wife calls his condo. Even had the contractor put in both a cat door and .... wait for it... a staircase for him to use. My wife claims she never liked the cat, but she keeps buying cat beds, houses, etc.

[IgEdoc]

I am, of course, a proponent of an hypoallergenic home environment, unless if you're born into one with cats, at least that is what the latest studies seem to propose

I equated you with Coach Sue for the longest time.

I like cats but I'm very allergic. I like cuddling with my friends' cats after I pop a claritin. Love dogs though! Get to see mine in a week

I think your cat should have the entire condo, and not merely an enclosed porch. After all, cats rule!

Hahaha!

Great response @gonnif ... and you should feel very privileged that your cat even allows you to be his humble servant.
