Trout Ratings are sooo last week! Who wants a Nimbus Rating?

tch, I can't resist a chance to show off. And with a new outfit to model too.

Pampered Puss kibble?

/me looks through a collection of self nudes.... Naw.... Not worth the ban. (=_=)y

The day begins - trying to catch a bit more of a "catnap" before the day begins:





Relaxing with a little kitten friend:





Felines are everywhere...even on Gor! (I really should get extra credit for this...I actually went to a Gorean sim as a "Free Woman Furry" complete with veil:




End of a long day...cuddling with my "Wildcat":




My inspiration - Morris. The feline who owned me for 18 years...gone 4 years and I still miss him terribly:

Aw, Morris was a cutie. Pets just don't live long enough, darn it all

"Majestically Leonine"! Good lord, who would have thought? I feel a strong, feline-esque vanity creeping over my psyche now.

Aw, that reminds me of my Mikki...he made it to 17 and a half and has been gone almost 5 years now. I actually had his name tattooed in Thai (he was half Siamese) on my ankle as a memorial.

That is a gorgeous photo...especially love the pink lighting...very pretty

For the record, I fully support this project of Nimbus' (despite the unlicensed use of my name . Linden Lab wants me to sue (tm) ) There are plenty of people who don't like the Trout Rating thing, and they deserve to have their inner beauty and personalities celebrated in a way that makes them happy and comfortable.

Best of luck, Nimbus!

I am oddly pleased by this

I don't know how you score on the Nimbus Scale, but on the LK Meter you're well into the orange zone...which means I want to dance with you and rub your ears a lot.

Ann! Where are your whiskers? OMG you look nekkid without whiskers!

Verifying Lindy's ear scratching abilities

Here are a few i found on my desktop

Nice..

Thanks for all the compliments *purrrz*, but... I want my Nimbus Rating!

There are so many fabulous felines posting here - how can I possibly compare them all? Still, I did open my big mouth and offer to do so, so here goes for the next one:

Felinity: well, Maureen, I have to rate you very highly here. Three different feline avatars, two of which are quadrupedal and all of which are lovely - you score 4.75 out of 5 for Felinity. The leopard in particular has a splendid regality of expression, and the neko ears are dead cute.

Fluffiness: The snow leopard and the neko appear to be more sleek than fluffy, but while the kitty avatar is only showing a soft halo of fluff around her head, I happen to know that it's smothered in fur all over its body even if it's not entirely visible in the pic. Plus you get a little bonus for the pink ribbon around your neck, an undeniable sign of a certain Fluffiness Of Nature. And those cute little neko ears, with their widdle tufts of fluff in... *melt*... I give you 4.2 for fluffiness, a nicely fuzzy score!

So if we add that all up, you wind up with a Nimbus Score of 8.95. Bravo, you are a Truly Fluffy Feline!

My goodness, what a handsome cat you are! 4.45 Felinity points for one of the nicest bipedal feline avatars I've seen in quite a while. With an intelligent yet sensitive gaze, and the proud pose of an undomesticated cat of the wilds... *swoon*... ahem, as I was saying... this is the highest score yet for a non-quadruped kitty.

You rate quite well on Fluffiness as well, despite a somewhat serious expression (from some angles, anyway) - with a thick ruff of fur around your head, a mop of brown shaggy hair on top and those charming black tufts atop your ears, I see a reasonable quantity of fluff (even if your tail is sadly not visible and so is unable to be commented on). I give you 3.5 for Fluffiness, and an extra .25 points for the delightful steampunk look, which I personally find very appealing.

So your final Nimbus Score is 8.15, a quite remarkable achievement for a biped. Congratulations Cruch, you should be very proud.

What a charming pose! *grin* That'll give a bit of a boost to your Felinity rating, expressing as it does a nicely feline combination of show-off-itude and playfulness! You get 3.65 Felinity points with your charming spots, cute little whiskers and pretty white ears, and an extra .25 points for the outfit - if my RL kitties ever went shopping for clothes, I'm sure at least one of them would come home dressed rather like that.

On the Fluffiness front, your hair is definitely getting you points as it looks distinctly fluffy from here. I can't be sure whether or not your ears have fluffy tufts on but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that one. And the aforementioned playful pose stands you in good stead here, as well. Your Fluffiness score works out to be 3.1.

So your final Nimbus Score is a nice round 7.0 out of a maximum of 10 - while some others may have higher ratings, this is a nicely balanced score for a pretty neko who is part cat, part woman and all playful charm!

Thank you, Trout! *beam* I'm delighted that my silly little homage to your famous Slut Rating meets with your approval. By the way, my child-av persona asked me to tell you that she named her pony after you. (Sort of.)

Thanks Nimbus, and sorry for my impatience. I should have known you'd have got to it eventually. Yes, more sleek than fluffy, and I'm glad I didn't lose cuteness for the high-calibre derringer stuck in my stocking top (or did I gain some, not sure?).

Kelli, putting the E in EGL.

You called your pony "Slut Rating"?

Patience, grasshopper! You got your rating less than 24 hours after you posted your pic! Given that I'm simultaneously juggling an inworld business, an RL PhD thesis-in-progress and a pile of other RL commitments, I'm amazed that I'm getting through these as quickly as I am. Worry not, folks - I'll get to all of them eventually. It'll just take longer than 5 minutes.

*faintly puzzled look* Are you sure you aren't mistaking me for Trout? I'm rating for Felinity and Fluffiness, he does ratings for Sluttiness. Ah well, if I misread the situation I humbly apologise for any offence, and in recompense offer this Nimbus Rating attempt.

Hm. Felinity. This is a little tricky because in none of these pictures do I see cat ears, eyes, paws, tails or whiskers. Or fur, if it comes to that. Still, I can't deny that your photos express a level of sensual appeal and come-hither-and-if-you're-lucky-I-won't-bite-you dangerousness that certainly is suggestive of felinity. That "goddess" necklace communicates the self-assured pride of many cats I've known, and the cross-eyed expression could be interpreted as a reference to a well-known genetic quirk of cats of Siamese heritage... ok, maybe that last is a bit of a stretch. I give you 2 for felinity.

As for fluffiness...not so much, I'm thinking. It's true that some of the hair styles displayed in those pics are rather fluffy, and I'll give you a point for that, but the general vibe I get from these pictures is less "fluffy", and rather more "Venus Fly Trap on Legs". Which I gather is a vibe that is *very* appealing to a certain sector of the population, but it'd be a real stretch to call that "fluffy". :-7 So I can only give you a point for the hair, really, I think.

Ceka, your Nimbus Score is 3.0. It's low, but should not be interpreted as a comment on your level of appeal - rather, it reflects what I suspect is simply a classification error. Feline? Not really, except in a rather metaphorical way. But definitely a head-turner nonetheless!

*giggle* No, the pony is called "Princess Trout".
