Another white tiger cub

I while ago I adopted a virtual grey cat (Claudia!) in a basket but never got round to posting her. [livejournal.com profile] quarryquest and [livejournal.com profile] entropy_house reminded of the site and they have more pets now, so I adopted a white tiger cub seeing as I've played with two of them in real bouncy furry life.

She's very cute, more active than the original cat-in-a-basket, and she even growls if you play with her long enough. [Edit} And if you hold the left mouse button down while you're playing with her, she purrs (even though tigers don't).

my pet!

She's cute! She does a lot more things than my hedgehog- I love when she lies down- and her purring is adorable.

Purring? I can't hear her purr in either browser, but she does do a cute little growl. Did you know that the only big cats that purr are cheetahs? They whistle too, a very high-pitched sound which is really strange to hear.

Yes, the hedgehog does even less than the cat in a basket, but it's an appropriate animal to call Kerr Avon. ;-)

I upped the volume to be sure and held the mouse button on her, and it sounded like 'rrrrraaassppppurrrrrr' to me. I know tigers shouldn't be able to growl, but it sounded like a purr to me.

*grin* My Nation State's national animal has always been the Kerr Avon hedgehog- it's fun when it turns up in issues. :^)

Vila's Rogue Nation had a cat.

I only hear the occasional "Rrraaoowwr!" :-(

Awww, you've been cheated out of your purr!

She won't purr in either browser or on Greg's PC. :-( She's still cute to play with though.

She purred almost non-stop with me! But then once or twice she did a little squawking meow - I wasn't quite sure what caused that, but it always seemed to happen when she was lying down.

I was sure I had a soundfile of Noki purring somewhere, but I can't find it...

I'm devastated. :-( She doesn't purr for me, but she does a cute and quite loud growly "Rrraaoowwr!" at times, usually when she pounces. How odd.

She purrs when I stroke her head or body with the left mouse button held down.

Ahhh, that's what it is! I didn't hold the button down, I just moved the mouse around. How cute!

Cool - can't compare with the original though!

She reminds me of them though. :-)
