Title: huh? Post by: Giggy on 2006 October 22, 08:51:41 I saw on a website that a person saw this cat point its paw at this statue,
WTF is he or she doing? (http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/2623/snapshotb1e67953b2455711bp1.jpg) Title: Re: huh? Post by: Zii on 2006 October 22, 09:26:37 Bowing down to the kitty god. *no idea what those cat statues represent, really*
Or mimicing the pose. Cuuute, either way ;D Title: Re: huh? Post by: Rose Outlaw on 2006 October 22, 11:46:24 Looks like a dying sim pose to me... wonder why.
On second glance, it strongly reminds of a South Park episode. Just replace the Kitty statue with a wooden Cow clock and the cat with a bunch of real cows. Title: Re: huh? Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2006 October 22, 11:48:53 The kitty is just rolling around. The fact that it's pointing at anything at all is purely coincidence.
Title: Re: huh? Post by: simmiecal on 2006 October 22, 11:54:15 The kitty is just rolling around. The fact that it's pointing at anything at all is purely coincidence. No. It's obvious that the cat is praying to be spared from the kitten killer god. :P Title: Re: huh? Post by: Rose Outlaw on 2006 October 22, 12:19:16 Plus that statue is just purely ugly.
Title: Re: huh? Post by: Motoki on 2006 October 22, 13:56:17 It' a maneki neko or goodluck cat. You'll see them in almost every store in Japan. They're supposed to bring money and good fortune. http://www.amy.hi-ho.ne.jp/~mono93/cat/english/what_e.html
That and Maxis probably saw Windkeeper made one and said 'That's a good idea. I'm glad I thought of it.' :P For the record, I think hers is cuter. http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/sims2/sets/258051/ Title: Re: huh? Post by: Fat D on 2006 October 22, 16:31:41 Better don't mirror the pic...
Title: Re: huh? Post by: rohina on 2006 October 22, 18:03:29 Cat has clearly been taught the command "play dead".
Title: Re: huh? Post by: idtaminger on 2006 October 22, 18:04:37 We have one in my house. They're ubiquitous in many, many Chinese establishments & homes. It's supposed to be good luck, but for the most part, it's almost an obligatory decoration that pple just have to stick somewhere in their house.
That and Maxis probably saw Windkeeper made one and said 'That's a good idea. I'm glad I thought of it.' :P The Maxis one is based off of the standard, wildly popular, mass produced version. The windkeeper one looks more artisanal.For the record, I think hers is cuter. http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/sims2/sets/258051/ Title: Re: huh? Post by: ChibyMethos on 2006 October 24, 21:38:14 Maybe it's just me, but I've alwways found those cats to be scary
Title: Re: huh? Post by: nectere on 2006 October 24, 21:42:01 Something I noticed about that statue last night is not only does it have an enviro score but also a fun score...are there interactions with it? I dont recall any of the other statues having a fun score (although it does raise fun to look at them).
Title: Re: huh? Post by: Giggy on 2006 October 24, 22:04:41 :D maybe for cats
Title: Re: huh? Post by: notveryawesome on 2006 November 02, 02:18:50 Hmmm, I always thought that sculptures, like paintings, had the 'View' option that increases fun, as well as the general environment boost.
