Holy Cats! IssyKitty gets her 500th star point! Valued member since August of '07 Issy has made her mark on the Sift in both culture and content. I have been a disciple of Iss the Great, since our initial exchange was the first time the internet really talked back nicely to me. I am a student of the IssyKitty school of comment upvoting, which is if you have something nice to say, say it. If not prepare for a scratchin'! A little rundown on what it is to be Issy:

First (and characteristic) comment on the Sift:
>> ^Issykitty:
Yes, agree with twiddles... the annoying grating sounds of the bipeds were highly distracting from fully enjoying cuteness.

Her first Sifted Submission (I think):

She had the astoundingly good idea for a *happy channel a couple of months ago, and it's proven to have a lot of use.

Here's the key to Issydom, though: instead of running your mouth all the time, hunker down and get to voting. Look at these stats:

So let's congratulate Queen IssyKitty on her silver diamond coronation! But remember, be nice!

Breaking news from Critter corner, beloved "The Squink" Critttter goes GOLD! Known best for off-kilter music sifts of yore, and biting sense of humor Critttter joined only this past December and has managed to turn the Sift on it's ear more than once. Could be charged with instigating the great *cheese riot of '08 with the following submission (whadaya say, let's bring the shame and all vote and make it her no. 1 vid, shall we?)

Here are a few choice Critttterisms:

Oklahoma State Rep. Goes On Anti-Gay Tirade
>> ^critttter:
Eureka Springs is controlled by the gays!? Holy shit! I should have bought property!


How To Remove All Evidence of PR0N on Your Computer
>> ^critttter:
is there a mac version of this? I mean, I'm just here by accident, but as long as I'm here...


Brian Wilson - Inspired by Demonic forces?
>> ^critttter:
I lived in Brian Wilson briefly in '99 - I was between jobs. He ate too many Frito Lay products, so I moved on to David Crosby. I was drinking alot, but his liver took the hit.


Don't forget to visit the profile, there's a lot to like!

We just got a puppy is all. I haven't had a lot of free time.

Here are her stats...
Age: 9 weeks
Sex: Female
Breed: Black Lab/Golden Retriever
Weight: 12lbs (9lbs a week ago)
Coat: Black and Shaggy
Name: Flower
Cute Level: Excessive

We have had her a week. She is settling in. Last night we only had to take her to go potty once, and she is pooping more regularly everyday. If anyone has some good advice let me know.

Super cuteness on this link.

Enjoy.

Flo has a habit of catching various animals, dragging them inside through the cat door, and letting them loose so they can be chased for hours. To put an end to this we have built a computer-controlled device that visually determines if Flo is carrying anything in her mouth when she enters, and if she does, it simply does not let her in.

Since Swampgirl is moving to watch over Vintage, thanks to Youdiejoe for taking care of our Pets for us!

Hey, I still expect all my basset hound sifts to be upvoted!

Love,
Sam (and SG)

When it says "currently not available please try again later", is it just a temp Google issue or is the sift dead?

I think this channel should represent animals in general. I know they admins are up to it w/ the new home....

This channel should be renamed AnimalSift, Animalia..something that could look more appropriate than just pets.

If another channel opened up and did this, well at least this channel should be PetSift.

That's a cute new icon for the "It's Raining Cats and Dogs!" channel."
