access to a scanner. I've gotten a digital camera from DH for my
b-day and now I have pictures! Ok, so I've only got one on a web
page so far...but it's a start. You can see a picture of my cat

It's a little blue-looking, but I think I'm getting the hang of
it.
PS: Scott just 'accused' me of having an affair because I'm
writing about some strange person named DH giving me a present(of
course he's joking)

So does anyone else start talking in goofy baby-like noises whenever they see a
cute kitty cat? I'm at work, so I had to keep my voice down, but I still
mumbled them under my breath. Very cute kitty.

Kitty cats, puppy dogs, pigs, cows, sheep, ducks, bunnies...I
talk in goofy baby-like noises to any kind of critter *except*
human babies. I'm sure that says something deeply psychological
about me...

Okay, this reminds me...what do you all consider to be a "critter"?
I ask because this weekend my mother used the word "critter" to refer to flying
insects, and we had a lively discussion of whether insects, flying or crawling,
were "critters". My father opined that critters are mammalian, amphibious, or
reptilian, and land-bound. And small. Whereas my mother says any small animal
qualifies, including dragonflies and goldfish.
Do "critters" have to be cute? Do they have to be "undesireables" like skunks
and mice? How small is small -- surely a kitten is small, but a cow? Do large
animals like bears also qualify? Is this context-dependent? (Are we in the
backyard or at Yosemite?)
I'm just curious what the consensus is.

critter is 1) a living creature, 2) a domestic animal, especially
a cow, horse or mule and 3) a person.
I find that last definition kind of odd. I've never considered a
person a critter but I guess under the first definition a person
qualifies as a critter.
I'd probably refer to an insect as a multilegged critter or creature.
I've been sort of into the "multilegged creature" description for
a while. It's more fun then just saying beetle or whatever.

I consider all non-human creatures to be "critters". I should
also say that "critter" is a term of endearment in Geri-speak :-)

Of course they are.
>Do "critters" have to be cute?
To me, all critters are cute on some level. Even if they're ugly
and/or dangerous. (Yes, I have an undergraduate minor in
entomology...I *like* bugs).
Do they have to be
"undesireables" like skunks
>and mice?
Who said skunks and mice were undersirable? ;-) But yes, they too
are critters. As are "desirable" creatures like puppies and
kitties.
How small is small -- surely a kitten is small, but a
cow? Do large
>animals like bears also qualify? Is this context-dependent?
(Are we in the

Hmmm...small...I consider "small" to be anything I could pick up
myself with little effort. This gets to be about
medium-sheep-sized (I *can* pick up young cows and horses, but
I'd rather not).
But critterdom is not size dependent. Cows are critters. Bears
are *definitely* critters (in fact, one of the bears that lives
in my parents' backyard is nicknamed Critter). Blue whales are
critters. Tstse flies are critters.
Critters occur everywhere -- in yards, parks, Yosemite, ponds,
oceans, rainforests, Habitrails, and under the front porch.

When my brother was a teenager, he had a friend whose little
brother actually answered to "Critter". Nobody knew what his real
name was...

kids, just not babies, particularly. I'm fully prepared to accept the
baby stage as a means to the kid stage, but babies just don't do it for
me.
Now a *kitten*, OTOH...

About 7 months post w*****, one of my co-workers asked if we had
any "critters" yet. I knew she was talking about children, but
I almost snapped back that we didn't have rodent or insect
infestations in our apartment. I think I ended up saying that
we needed a little more than 7 months to produce "critters."

That's why I put it in quotation marks. :-)
They're certainly undesireable when they're living under your house. Not so
much when encountered "in the wild."
Heck, I have nasty-animal-lover credentials. I had pet rats. :-) They were
adorable.
