Ehh... you perverts! That feline felt fleas, so the cat-owner was just trying to physically eject the mass of mites, ton of ticks from the poor thing.

On another note... while doing some research on 'something'... came across this rather British phrase (spoken to me by a Scots, incidentally)...

... shoving up a bit of warm spaghetti up a cat's #@$&

See if you can find it by googling '607'

No mystery here... completely unsurprising.

Maru and Hana. <3

Aside from that, I do miss the wagging tails we had in XI... :(
Our tails are waaay to stationary in XIV.

Interesting.

I like the way tails behave in XI's casting animations.

But as I am only CON 8 here I haven't really looked at our tail casting animations.

Eva has all casting careers to 10 - 16 but no tail. :lol:

Everyone has a tale for you to tell. Some have a tail for me to pull.

The best in both FFXI and FFXIV is when I have to run after making a cat go /angry

Our ears boggle less too, /welcome had the boggling in XI but now I think the only boggling is from drinking something, I do like how they pin back when /shocked. /stretch should have the tail stand up too, they missed that one.

They did rework them all... all in a futile attempt to prevent me from grabbing my tails!

But look at the /emotes for all the other races. A side-by-side comparison... not sure why it does seem as things have become both simpler and sleeker, so to speak. But what was taken away, they replaced with other things... like how how the character reacts overall... including looking at things... I do miss my old /comfort... it aims too high now. Alas for your cats, I've had to resort to my /bothpawsgrabthenbite command.

I do miss the boggling though... although perhaps some people found it creepy to find a whole clutter of tarus boggling in sync? (Ever notice that there is a random discrepancy in the timing so it doesn't happen all the time? Now that's attention to de-tail!)

Yeah, from a GTX460 to a GTX8800, roughly a 1/3 reduction. Anything you buy now that's not a phone, tablet or made for Apple, should match the 8800 at least.

But afaik, it didn't affect the emotes. The changes we're complaining/commenting about were already in 1.x, we're just caterwauling about the old FFXI /emotes. Just like how some special cats have colour tipped tails, the better to aim for.

At least we still have our mithra /angry ^-^

Be glad I grab the tail. Could be another body part. Don't click this. But if you do, don't use Google translate. French readers beware.

Even though I'll never be in that situation... you got to feel something for a fellow, furry and tailed creature. Non?

For some reason, I kinda felt self-conscious after watching this.

So I was levelling up LTW... and for some reason, I wore headphones/etc... and the sound was really bugging me until I remember the above...

Now... the next time a LTW crafts next to you... you'll remember this cat's facial expression.

-----

What is wrong with these cats... google searches show that more than a few felines feel fond for fanny flogging. And why does LTW crafting sound so similar...

Or maybe... I mistook one furry object for another...

That... is a tissue paper dispenser.

And this is how you get some tissue paper out...

How to obtain tissue paper from polar bear (you knew it was a bear, right?

I must say that I find putting the paper in more disturbing.

It has to be something to do with your living in Japan.
