My cat is named after a dinosaur.

Every time I introduce someone to my cat, I always get the question:

"Is that from the Land Before Time?
And then:
"The first one was awesome but the other 238947238 sucked."

First off, yes. Your assumption is correct. I also agree with your other statement but chomper didn't show up until the second movie which I thought was okay as well.

Littlefoot is indeed named after the little brown (although my purple stuffed animal says otherwise) Apatosaurus. Not because she looks like a dinosaur but because she has little feet. It would be cool if she had a longer neck though, that's one of my personal wishes. Damn my short necked curse. Anyways..
I threatened to shoot her up with botox if she got any bigger as a kitten.
She must have taken my threat seriously.
I mean.. I was serious about it.

This graph, by the way, is extremely correct.
Back to the dinosaurs. I found this out today. The brontosaurus, triceratops, raptors, etc did not exist as we know them from this delightful child's film.  In fact, most velociraptors were bound with feathers based on some recent phylogenetic bracketing. Also, contrary to popular Jurassic Park belief, velociraptors were about the size of a large chicken. And it had feathers.. so it was basically a... extra large 200% more dangerous chicken with razor sharp teeth. Oh! And two more limbs than a normal chicken. A hybrid, man-eating, giant chicken. I blame these 'velociraptors' for my missing animals as a child.


In any event, one could still probably kick the shit out of me given its micro size. I don't deal well with pain and when viewing home options, I still try to make sure it's velociraptor proof. My current dwellings do not fit in with the raptor proofage requirements.


Might as well toast up my brain and serve it on a silver platter to them.
