Just an interesting addenda... I think a lot of people misunderstand my signature. It's not that the god's are cats (because cat's have retractible claws); it's that the gods are merciful, and will withdraw their talons. "EVEN the gods have retractible claws," say the Good Sayings of Bastet, so it behoves us to have them too. But the gods come in all forms. Bastet, however, who is the author of these particular sayings, interprets all gods and things in feline terms! :) What is your conlang, Keith? And I'm glad you're a cat lover.
