...brings to mind a poem.

Indolent and kitten-eyed,
This is the bushveld's innocent
The stealthy leopard parodied
With grinning, gangling pup-content.

Slouching through the tawny grass
Or loose-limbed lolling in the shade,
Purring for the sun to pass
And build a twilight barricade

:cool:

All Cat, All The Time - yes, you're gonna score very well here, Soji! From (somewhat concussed-looking) kitten, to cat prowling in the garden, to leopard lurking luxuriantly, you truly are a consummate feline! Your apparent fondness for Teh Meeces is also noted. :-) That emerald gaze looking out from the treetops is quite compelling, and the last pic makes me giggle! I can just about feel that big raspy tongue myself, it's such an evocative picture. You really do excel in Felinity - so I shall give you 4.75 Felinity points.

You don't do too shabbily on the Fluffiness front, either, as it happens. All your feline forms are fully furred, a fine and fabulous... ahem, maybe I should stop with the alliteration before I embarass myself. Anyway, that's good. :-) The little concussed kitten looks superbly fluff-headed as well as fluff-bodied, too! If it has a serious bone in its fuzzy little body I'll be astonished. And it's a good choice of pic for the black quad cat, since the angle shows off its fluffiness of form rather well. For Fluffiness your score is 4.75. which includes a little bonus for Concussed Kitty and his little Mini-Me companion, who I defy anyone to take seriously. :-)

Soji, your final Nimbus Score is 9.5 out of a possible 10 - Wow! what a score. What a cat!

*purrs loudly and rolls around* Thank-you very much!

Around the vast arena where;
In scattered herds, his grazing prey
Do not suspect in what wild fear
They'll join with him in fatal play;

Up in the tree the kitty watches;
his eye gleams as he spots his prey
for that one certainly matches
his need to feast, and to play.

I just want to say- I am sooo liking Nimbus' ratings :) eloquent and quite picturesque- the essence of SL :)

As for the grumbling grouse- wouldn't skipping it be enough? Obviously not a feline iota in that one.

Seeee...just have to be in the rating system right for you!!

(I agree with Amaranthim - so much fun reading these. Thank you for the obvious time you're putting into them, Nimbus!)

Yep, I'm pursuing one but the little bugger keeps running away. :-7 Ah well, one day I shall catch it and keep it and call it George... erm, onto your Nimbus Rating!

Felinity: Well, there's no excuse whatsover for not giving you a very high score indeed! Not only do you display a fine assortment of feline avatars of various kinds, but the circumstances in which they're shown here demonstrate a consummate understanding of Felinity in its many aspects. Lurking high up on the banisters smugly overseeing what goes on below? Check. Relaxing in a library or bookshop adding atmosphere (and fur!) to the environment? Check. Lying sprawled across a work surface, challenging anyone to try to do any actual *work* there? Check. Posing elegantly for the appreciation of one's audience? Check. I give you a 4.8 out of 5 for Felinity (!!). It's just as well that Felinity's not really a competition, or the rest of us would have to all just give up and go home now. :-)

Fluffiness: Not bad, not bad. :-) Even in your least-fluffy incarnation, the neko boy, you have fluffy tufts on the tips of your ears. While the black tiger is mostly glossy and sleek (and magnificent!), there's a lovely haze of fluff around your face that frames it charmingly. And the kitty lurking on the banisters is most assuredly visibly fluffy around the chest and tail. While not the furriest on an absolute scale, you show a nice combination of fluffiness and sleekness that should please any cat admirer. I give you 3.5 for Fluffiness. And because I'm a sucker for steampunk, I'll toss in another .25 points for the goggles (and of course, the lovely library)!

So your final Nimbus Score is a grand total of 8.55. A magnificent achievement!

/bows deeply...
Thank you Nimbus! I will wear this with pride - from someone of your talents, this is a compliment in one of the purest of forms. That, and any stroking of my ego is always a treat! :D
/offers up some catnip and a fresh fish...thank you again!

Thank-you and yes, must be in the correct rating system. I do not really disagree with the 0.5 I got from Trout, I mean I did send him nude photos, but of a cat.

And yes, thank-you very much Nimbus for taking the time to do these ratings. :)

In my defense, you only gave me one photo for the Slut Rating where you received the .5. It was this one:



You HAVE to admit that is about as unslutty as you can possibly be, and since then, your work with Lucrezia has earned you a much more respectable score.

Yeesh. I can't believe I have to defend my Ratings in here! I certainly hope you weren't hurt by your low rating on that one. I've never intentionally hurt anyone with one of my ratings. I work awfully hard on them and all I want them to do is make people feel good.

Yes, that is why I said that I did not really disagree with the rating. Of course the work with Lucrezia is a combined score, not a solo score. That is why I said my rating was 0.5. I think I included one of those works in the photos I submitted here (the think part is that I am not sure you saw that specific photo).

Right - it was a combined score, but either of you can use it how you see fit. I'd like to add that I light up like a kid at Christmas every time I get a message from you or Lucrezia because I know, whatever it is, it will be totally unexpected and wonderful. You two are such a fantastic, lighthearted team. It renews my faith in SL.

But, he's a Bun neh. I mean, nothing wrong with Bun Nehs, they are all cute, cuddly, govern Steampunk sims well and taste good with a bit of HP, but really, this thread is for Teh Kittehs.

Hey, anyone can request a Nimbus Rating. If they're a spider or a battleship or a school of fish they won't necessarily get a very high one, but I'll rate anyone.

BTW I'll do yours, Crunch, when I'm feeling a little more ebulliant. One of my RL kitties died a couple of days ago and I'm not feeling real frivolous right now. But I will get to it soon-ish, okay?

I'm sorry, Nimbus. Blessed animals just don't live long enough. And you own the thread, you're right. Do rate Crunches' hoppity hopping avatar. It is cute, after all.

Elora, you're the cutest kitty I've ever seen. I want to take you home and cuddle with you and stroke your fur...

I have catnip...

Well, I can get some, anyway.

MMM catnip!

/me contemplates curling up in Lindals lap, purring quietly as she strokes me gently, treats at my beck and call ;)

I wonder sometimes why I fight being a Neko? It really is so appealing :)
